What better excuse for a seriously extravagant paint job on your nails than Christmas? This time of year is synonymous with bright colours, glitter and all things festive, so we thought we’d take a look at some of our favourite Christmas manicures from around the internet to inspire you to get creative with your nails.
Scandi Style
Scandinavian style decorations have been everywhere this Christmas and we can see why – the minimalist red and white or green and white patterns look traditional and gorgeous and commute oh-so-well to a seriously on-trend manicure. Invest in a white nail polish pen and you could probably manage to do this yourself at home.
Frosty the Snowman
Not everything needs to be red and green to be festive, as shown by this gorgeous snowman manicure. We love the light blue and white as a contract to the usual colours and the design looks amazing without being too intricate, which means everyone should be able to perfect it with a little practice.
Candy Canes
We love manicures where one finger is totally different to the others, and what’s not to love about this candy cane design? Achievable with some French manicure stickers and a little patience, you’ll make your nails look good enough to eat with this design.
Santa
We couldn’t put together a list of Christmas manicure ideas without including the Big Guy himself! This adorable Father Christmas manicure is pretty easy to achieve and will have you feeling festive all the way until New Years’ Eve!
Wrapped Gifts
This is probably the simplest idea of the whole lot but looks really effective and can be customised to co-ordinate with just about any outfit. A later of glitter before you add the ‘ribbon’ would really take these festive fingers to the next level.
