Easy Xmas and New Years Nail Art
Design Temi Oyelola
Nothing gets us in the holiday spirit quite like putting on some jolly tunes, decorating the tree, and throwing on cozy pajamas (and fuzzy socks). But one thing that can really up the celebratory mood? Giving yourself a merry manicure so that every time you glance down while you're wrapping presents or prepping peppermint bark you can get a healthy double dose of cheer.
There are plenty of trendy holiday nail polish colors on the market (think: deep red, hunter green, winter white, and icy blue) and no shortage of festive symbols and motifs to draw inspiration from. To help guide you, we curated dozens of ideas for Christmas nail art designs, including an elevated french tip, Santa-inspired art, holly accents, snowflakes, string lights, candy canes, reindeer, and more. And, thanks to nail stickers, press-ons, and stencils, these styles come together easily—even if you don't have the steadiest hand.
