5 Holiday Nail Art Ideas

We are in full holiday mode now, so much so we’re dedicated to integrating the festive season into our beauty routines. Nail art is something we love to dabble in, and we like our nails to reflect each season. Our go-to site, Pinterest, helped us in our hunt for holiday nail art.

Our ladies at the Beauty Department created this festive manicure and we can’t wait to try it out. All that’s needed is a navy base coat and a silver glitter top coat and you have yourself a cute winter wonderland mani. Simple to do and a great way to observe the holidays.

This manicure requires a little more work but the payoff is oh-so good. Grab a makeup sponge to create the look and find three polishes in gold, red and green. Have fun with this design and add a few more drops of gold polish to get extra festive.

We loved how this design reminded us of Santa’s hat. A French manicure doesn’t get anymore Christmas-like than with this sparkly red shade that’s used as the base coat. Add a touch of silver polish along the edge of the French tip and, voila, you have yourself the perfect holiday manicure.

While this design may appear difficult to achieve, the step-by-step instructions make this manicure easy. Find green and gold nail polish and tape. The only difficult part of this design is the placement of the tape but once you nail that, it’s all downhill from there. Finish your Christmas tree art design with a sparkly rhinestone.

Another festive and easy design. It shouldn’t be too hard to track down some red and green glitter polish this time of year. Once you get your hands on that, add in a bottle of white polish for the base coat, and you’re set.
