18 Festive, Santa-Approved Nail Art Ideas To Spoil Your Fingertips With This Christmas

When it comes to holiday-inspired beauty trends, they can run the gauntlet from gasp-worthy extremities—hello, Christmas tree eyebrows—to subtle selections (think: festive make-up trends).

And when Christmas finally rolls around, there are endless offerings to choose from when it comes to freshening up a celebratory 'do or opting for a crimson lip that Santa would approve of. However, when it comes to our nails, it's easy to forget about how our digits could be in need of a trip to the North Pole.

Falling somewhere in the middle as a fit-for-all and (sometimes) amateur-friendly option to keep the holiday spirit going from tips to toes.

Both manicure maniacs and all-around beauty savants can breathe easy, thanks to stunning, seasonal nail art ideas that are simple enough to master at-home, minus a manicurist.

Below, we've rounded up the jolliest, most Christmas-inspired nail designs to get you through the silly season.
