Ho ho ho, readers!
‘Tis the season to deck your digits with festive cheer! Get ready to fa-la-la-la-la-la-la your way through the holidays with a dash of Christmas nail art featuring Santa and his trusty reindeer. We’ll guide you through the merry wonderland of Christmas nails, from classic Santa suits to prancing reindeer, so you can spread holiday cheer with every manicure.
Santa’s Suit
Red as Santa’s Hat
A classic Christmas red is a must-have for Santa-inspired nails. Paint your nails a deep, festive hue, then add a touch of white for Santa’s iconic hat brim. For a playful twist, paint a tiny sprig of holly or a jingle bell on one or two nails.
White as Santa’s Beard
Channel Santa’s snowy beard with a pristine white polish. You can keep it simple with a single coat or add some texture with a glitter top coat. For a touch of whimsy, paint a red Santa hat on your ring finger.
Prancing Reindeer
Brown as a Reindeer’s Fur
Capture the warmth and coziness of a reindeer’s fur with a rich brown polish. Add some white dots or lines to represent the reindeer’s spots or antlers. For a touch of holiday spirit, paint a tiny Christmas tree or present on one or two nails.
Gray as a Reindeer’s Hoofs
Not all reindeer are brown! Paint your nails a soft gray to mimic the color of a reindeer’s hooves. Add some black stripes or spots for extra detail. For a festive touch, paint a red nose or a green collar on one or two nails.
Deck the Nails
Candy Cane Stripes
No Christmas nail art is complete without some candy cane stripes! Paint your nails with alternating red and white stripes, then add a black line down the center to complete the look. For a touch of sweetness, paint a tiny candy cane on your ring finger.
Festive Glitter
Add some sparkle to your Christmas nails with glitter. Use a glitter top coat or paint on some individual glitter particles. You can even create a festive gradient by mixing different colors of glitter. For a whimsical touch, paint a tiny snowflake or a Christmas star on one or two nails.
Holiday Charms
Elevate your Christmas nails with some festive charms. You can attach tiny Santa hats, reindeer antlers, or Christmas trees to your nails using nail glue. For a touch of personalization, add a charm with your initials or a special holiday message.
