As Christmas rapidly approaches, tis’ the season for some festive nail art!
Wondering how to complete that Christmas ensemble you have ready for the holiday? Well, look no further.
We’ve rounded up a few ideas to get those creative wheels cranking. Whether you’re looking for something simple, or an intricate design with a bit more complexity,
here are a few nail art inspiration ideas that we absolutely love and that will turn those dreary-looking winter nails from naughty to nice.
It’s the simplicity for us! We love this
cute Santa hat and snowflake pattern set designed by @Lida.Naill on Instagram. You can even spread this pattern across all five nails to ring in more Yuletide excitement.
@_nails__Alexandra_ came through with a cute reindeer art design that would work
perfectly for any Christmas-inspired
set. Now, if you’re not too good at
painting your own nails,
it might be a little difficult to get those Reindeer horns just right, so consider taking this to your nail technician on your next appointment for an effortless holiday slay.
Our mouths are just watering thinking
about all those tasty sweet treats that we’re gearing up to scarf down with our families during Christmas dinner.
Candy canes are often a staple
found tucked away in those cute stockings.
Why not replicate the minty sweet treat for some fun nail art? @Beautenailspa.Gilbert on Instagram knocked it out of the park with this look.
Did you hear that? The sound of crinkling gift wrapping paper being torn open on Christmas eve brings joy to our ears! This @Noirenailbarwoodstock also embodies the Christmas spirit too! The Christmas gift wrap bow-tie design and glittery gift wrap can be simple to achieve with a fun color of your choice.
On a budget this holiday season?
Consider using press-on nails from brands like The Nailest to achieve the look.

3. Begin by painting your pinky nail.
Apply one coat of gel polish and cure for 30 seconds. For the second coat apply the polish then hold a magnet directly over the nail at an angle for 10-15 seconds to create the cats eye effect before curing.

4. Move onto your ring finger.
Apply a bright white gel polish and cure. Remove the sticky layer before creating your design. Using a fine detail brush,
apply a bright red polish in your
chosen design.
In Smitherman's jumper nails she used thin lines, dots, Christmas flower shapes and Christmas trees with a sparkly green gel polish. Cure and apply a matte top coat to give even more material effect.

5. For your middle finger use a sparkly red.
Apply a sparkly red gel polish curing both coats. After wiping off the sticky layer create zig zags and small hearts with a fine detail brush and bright white polish.

6. Draw your knitted sweater design on your index finger.
Apply two coats or a soft white gel color and cure both layers.
Cover the nail with top coat and cure.
Using a larger detail brush drawer your knitted jumper design with a bright white gel,
sprinkle on a white acrylic powder to stick to the polish then cure. Do your design bit by bit to keep the definition of the design.
Brush away excess powder after each cure and do not apply any top coat.

7. Get glittery on your thumb nail.
Use another red glitter polish this time with bigger glitter.
Use a long striping brush, pick up a
bright white polish and apply diagonal lines across the nail.
One thin and one thick. Cure the
white and apply top coat. Use a fine
detail brush to apply white polish around the cuticle area to create icicle. Before curing, sprinkle in your chosen winter glitter to stick to the polish.
Cure and brush away the excess.
