Christmas is here! There are countless ways to get into the holiday spirit, including decorating your Christmas tree (maybe even multiple trees!) and watching some of the best Christmas movies on repeat. Another way to bring on the glitz, glitter, and glam of the holidays is with some super sparkly Christmas nail art ideas for short nails and long nails, too.
Holiday Lights Christmas Nail Art
Just the cutest! Start with a neutral base coat, then draw in black “cords” (we love how these have wavy loops). Apply teardrop-shaped or round nail gems in a variety of colors as “light bulbs.” If you don’t have nail jewels, dot nail polish on instead. Either way your nails will shine brightly all season long!
Holly Berry Christmas Nail Art
Simple holly leaves and berries decorating an accent nail or two makes for happy holiday nail art. Coordinate the berry color with the solid shade used on the other nails for a cohesive look. See more designs at Bellacures.
Mistletoe and Berries Christmas Nail Art
Carry mistletoe close to you all season long—yes, on your nails! Here, a silver base coat creates a clean backdrop for mistletoe branches and dots for berries and snow. This one takes a bit of patience. We suggest trying a toothpick for drawing the greenery and a nail dotting set for the berry and snow details.
Santa Baby Christmas Nail Art
Thanks to a drip and some dots, this red-tipped manicure turns into a Santa hat masterpiece. See more designs at Bellacures.
White Poinsettias Christmas Nail Art
If you love Christmas poinsettias as much as we do, try your hand at painting them your nails. Start with a solid coat of your favorite polish, then paint on a flower shape in white. Once dry, outline in black and add other flower details as shown. Mix up the colors if you want, but we love how classy this gold and white combo looks.
Burgundy Mani Christmas Nail Art
If you want to be seasonal but not splashy, deep red nails are a solid choice for a winter manicure. This gel color is extra glossy for just a hint of glam.
Plaid Tidings Christmas Nail Art
Inspired by plaid sweaters and ribbons, this nail art design works with any color combo. With its Christmas tree accent nail, the deep green and gold really works here.
Reindeer in the Snow Christmas Nail Art Idea
Shop nail stamps or nail stickers to achieve this holiday sweater-inspired nail art. We love the cheery red base color, but blue or green would be fun, too!
