Festive Holiday Manicures You Can Easily Recreate at Home

If You’re … a Minimalist Nail Art Enthusiast

Love nail art but don’t want to spend hours bringing it to life when you could be baking Christmas cookies or shopping for gifts? Try a green glitter French mani like this one. It’s simple yet chic and fun.

If You’re … a Holiday Traditionalist

You can’t get more classic than a plaid print. Add some glitter stripes for some festive flair like @amyle.nails did here. 

If You ... Live for Winter

This glitter-embellished blue nail look is easy to recreate and can be worn all winter. Make sure you have a matte top coat like Essie’s Matte About You and a dotting tool in your arsenal to create perfect glitter spots.

If You … Low-Key Love the Holidays 

So you enjoy the holiday season but don’t like to make a big thing out of it? A red negative-space nail art look like this one is subtly festive. It fits with the aesthetic of the season but is something you could wear any time of year. 

If You … Have Had Your Tree Up Since November

Once your tree is decorated and lit, you can move right on to your nails. As @alecias.nails demonstrates with this look, some gold glitter and small rhinestone embellishments can really make a mani merry and bright.
