@heygreatnails

How does the red color make you feel when it's Christmas? Happy right?

I love the way the nail tech incorporated the gold and white on these nails, so festive.

2. Red snowflakes:

@naildesign_byjess

In this post, you are going to be seeing a lot of red nail art but that's not my fault, it's the season for it.

The addition of the snowflakes makes this simple French tips nail design worth it.

3. Short French tips with silver rims:

If you want to go really short this Christmas, then go short with this design.

The silver details improve the look of this set and it's really cute.

4. Simple gingerbread French tips:

Another way to improve the look of simple nails during the festive season is to indicate.

How? By nicely blending in the symbol of that season just like she did with the gingerbread man on this set.

5. Indie grinch nails:

Recreate these nails:

 

Buy on Amazon

What's not to love about indie fashion, especially nails?

Dark green is a nice touch for this style of nails, I also think red or purple can work with the design too.

6. Candy cane red:

Candy canes are supposed to be a thing this season and what other way to show your loyalty to the season than to match your long nails to candies?

7. Green royalty:

I bet you have been waiting to see other colors on this list. 😂😂 

As mentioned, green is also a good color for Christmas and I love this set and what was done with the gold and snowflakes decals.

8. Candy reindeer:

Candy canes and reindeer on long nude nails? Absolutely.

This set is so cute and if you haven't got any issues with the length then you should get them this season.

9. Long pink glitter nails:

Here's another one, pink candy canes but make them nails.

The pink glitter vibes are a look to copy in a hurry too.

10. Simple black Christmas nails:

Want to go simple this festive season? Then this set is the one for you.

You can also switch the shape to square for a very minimal look.

11. Short Christmas plaid nails:

Plaid means Christmas in my world.

Want to look Christmassy and also academia this season, then this should be the nail art you should be going for.

12. Elegant snowflakes:

These elegant snowflake nail art with a touch of candy cane designs in white are a vibe.

There's no other reason not to get these nice festive-looking nails for this season; you don't need to wait for the 25th.

13. Shimmering grey:

Grey is not a vibrant color generally but with the shimmery base, everything is alright with this set.

14. Hot chocolate:

Brown is not a very popular nail color for his season but dares to be different. 

I love how plain these are, but an addition of a shimmering top coat on your pinky finger will put you in the mood this festive season.

15. Plaid and gingerbread:

Gel nails have been very understated this year but I am bringing it back to your screens today.

Love love the gingerbread brown designs and white snowflakes.

16. Black snowflakes:

Black nail art can also work for Christmas if you ask me and the proof is in the pudding.

17. Icy candy:

Want to switch things up a bit look into getting icy candy designs in one or two of your fingers just like in the picture.

18. Simple Christmas blue nails:

If you are looking for minimalist Christmas nail art to copy this season, here's one.

The silver glitter designs on them are what helped them appear festive.

19. Black stiletto Christmas:

White and black stiletto nails during the Christmas? Hello, yes!

The little ribbon design on the index finger is just so pretty.

20. Candy canes and bread:

Red, white, and gold on short nails are so popular this season.

Why not go crazy with the designs too like she did on this set?

21. Glittery burgundy:

Burgundy is one of my favorite colors for most seasons so why not Christmas?

The glitter gives this set a rich and sparkly vibe.

22. Christmas strawberry:

I love how strawberry-like this set looks even though it's all Santa Claus and mistletoe.

The shimmery pink look is also beautiful too.

23. Red moose:

@puro.nails

Moss green nails for Christmas?

Very unlikely but these are really cute and you can copy them if you must.
