With Christmas right around the corner, it’s time to check if you have all the essentials on your list. First things first – a beautiful manicure with the perfect nail art to embrace the holiday spirit.
The holiday season is all about happiness, and what delights a girl more than pretty nails? It’s time to show your true colours (on your nails). Whether you are in your soft girl era or maximalist core, getting the perfect nails is something that needs to be ticked off the list before Christmas arrives. From cute bows to a sparkle saga, here are the prettiest Christmas nail designs that are going to rule this season.

The simplest way to bring Christmas to your nails? Add some bows. This year, try this red ribbon design tied into a perfect bow. With a neutral base layered with shiny red bows and ribbon, this manicure is for the minimal girlies. The best part about this design? You can carry it throughout the holiday season.

Can’t go on a sugar rush during the holiday season? Well then, paint them on your nails. The classic red-and-white striped candy cane on a nude base is just the right way to welcome the season. It’s festive, fun, and sweet (literally)! This nail art is subtle yet festive, and would be ideal for anyone who wants a very demure look.
Stripes and more

What screams Christmas more than red and pink striped nails? Is it red stripes on a pink base, or vice versa? Either way, this nail design is a perfect way to kick off the holiday season. The stripes are layered with mini wreaths and décor designs. It’s maximal and, at the same time, alluring.
It’s Christmas, and big gestures start with your nails. For the maximal babes, green is your colour. Think polka dots, French nails with green tips, bejewelled tips, cherries, some gold, and leaf patterns all at once. It’s loud, festive, and arresting!
Sparkle Rudolf
For those who adore holiday sparkle, Rudolf nail art is what you are looking for. The sparkling gold cat-eye, paired with a red rhinestone to complete the Rudolf, makes this shimmering Christmas nail art all things festive. It is indeed over the top and has the celebratory sparkle you are looking for.
Christmas is the perfect time to channel your inner Blair Waldorf and not hold back when you pick the perfect design. Everything is fair in the Christmas and holiday season! So what’s your favourite pick? Let us know in the comments below.
