It’s Christmas time again! There are many ways to get into the mood of the holidays, such as decorating one or more Christmas trees and binge-watching some of the greatest holiday films. Adding some seriously glittering Christmas nail art ideas to both short and long nails is another way to channel the glamour, glitter, and glamour of the season. Imagine the sudden Christmas joy you’ll feel every time you glance down at your hands with their joyful and festive designs! If you’re in, raise that neatly manicured hand! 🙋🏽‍♀️

Put it out of your mind! We’ve included quick and simple Christmas nail art ideas for people who are in the “I don’t have time for this” camp (think glitter nail polish over a popular seasonal shade). We’ve included professional-level designs for the daring among us—think little snowmen, reindeer, and Christmas trees. We’ve also included links to materials that can help you execute DIY Christmas nail art ideas, useful advice (leave polish dry completely in between steps! ), and nail stickers you can purchase for fast gratification.

There is something here to help you step up your holiday nail game, regardless of your comfort level. So get all the best winter nail colours and give some of these basic yet sassy Christmas nail art ideas a try.

1. Christmas Tree Lights Nail Art

The cutest thing ever! Begin with a base coat that is neutral, and then add black “cords”—we adore the way these have wavy loops. Put on spherical or teardrop-shaped nail gems in a range of colors to serve as “light bulbs.” Put some nail polish on instead of nail jewels if you don’t have any. In either case, the entire season will be radiant with your nails!

2. Christmas Holly Berry Nail Art

Happy Christmas nail art can be created by simply adorning one or two accent nails with berries and holly leaves. For a unified effect, match the berry hue to the solid shade applied to the remaining nails. View further designs on Bellacures.

3. Berries and Mistletoe Christmastime Pencil Art

All season long, keep a mistletoe close at hand—yes, on your nails! In this instance, a silver base coat provides a crisp background for the snow and berries, as well as mistletoe stems. It takes some time to get used to this. For the greenery and the snow and berries, we advise using a toothpick and a nail dotting kit.

4. Santa Baby Holiday Finger painting

A few dots and a drip transform this red-tipped manicure into an amazing Santa hat. View further designs on Bellacures.

5. Poinsettias in white Christmastime Pencil Art

Try your hand at painting your nails with Christmas poinsettias if you share our passion for them. Apply a thick layer of your preferred polish first, and then use white paint to create a floral form. After drying, draw an outline in black and add more floral elements as indicated. Change up the hues if you’d like, but we adore how elegant this combination of white and gold looks.

6. The Burgundy Mani Christmastime Pencil Art

For a winter manicure, rich red nails are a great option if you want to be festive without going overboard. This extremely glossy gel colour adds a little touch of glitz.

7. Christmas Nail Art – Plaid Tidings

This nail art design, which was inspired by plaid jumpers and ribbons, looks great with any color scheme. The deep green and gold fit really well along with the accent nail of the Christmas tree.

8. Sledders in the Winter Idea for Christmas Nail Art

Get some nail stickers or stamps to create this festive nail art inspired by sweaters. Although blue or green might also be enjoyable, we really adore the bright red base color.

9. French manicure Christmas nail art with evergreen berries

Adding a tidy row of evergreen leaves and berries elevates a French manicure to a whole new level for the holidays.

10. Christmas Nail Art with Cotton Candy Cane

This colour scheme, which was inspired by cotton candy and incorporates candy cane stripes and snowflakes, is reminiscent of the tastiest Christmas treats. View further designs on Bellacures.

11. Christmas Nail Art Design Featuring Frosty the Snowman

We can’t get over how cute this Frosty nail art is for the winter! The look is finished with white dots for snow and snowdrift tips.

12. Christmas Nail Art with Glitter Tips

For a little glam boost to a rosy red manicure, add glittering tips. Apply a layer of glitter glue to the desired region for more glimmer. Build closer to the tips as indicated, allowing each coat to dry in between.

13. Festive Christmas Tree Nail Art

This Christmas holly nail art design appears intricate at first glance. But when you get right down to it, it’s really rather easy. Start with a base that is white or another light color. Apply two hues of green paint to the leaves, and then add three red polish dots on top. Two pairs of thin, window-pane-like parallel lines that connect to complete the design.

Pro tip: Before proceeding to the next stage, allow each layer to completely dry.

14. Blush Christmas Nail Art for Winter

This combination of snowflake-patterned nails and plain nails, using peachy blush and white paint colors, is very lovely.

15. Christmas Nail Art: Snowman Face

It’s quite easy to paint this snowman face directly on your own or apply it to stick-on nails. This adorable Christmas nail art design is simple to execute with a nail dotting set.

16. Christmas nail art with baubles and glitter

Oh my, decorations, glitter, and stripes! The most imaginative Christmas manicure designs are created when glitter and matte colours are combined. The little bows on top of the glittery ornaments are just too adorable!

This subdued approach to the holidays is just as festive as most of the other Christmas nail art ideas you’ll find here. White and silver stars are placed on top of a natural base. Place the stars on each nail in slightly varied locations to create visual interest. View further designs on Bellacures.

18. Christmas Tree with Wintergreen Forest Nail Art

We adore this design for the holidays and beyond, whether you’re living in your own real winter wonderland or are just dreaming of a white Christmas. For a complete forest impression, paint trees at different heights and layers as indicated.

19. Christmas Ice Blue Nail Polish

With this cool, new blue hue, Jack Frost will be biting at both your nose and your fingertips. It’s ideal for any holiday get-together, but particularly at the start of the year.

20. Traditional Colors Christmastime Pencil Art

The colors of Christmas are red, green, and white. Each receives its proper place here: red berries, green holly leaves, white sparkles resembling snow, and a stripe that resembles peppermint, of course.
