Whether I’m going to a salon or doing them myself, it’s so fun to get some new nail inspiration!  I wanted to put together a collection of my current favourite holiday designs, so you can figure out what style you want to try!  

Christmas is my favourite time of year.  I love spending time with my family and friends, doing all of our holiday traditions together.  Getting a fun Christmas manicure in December is something I always look forward to.  A seasonal mani is an easy way to get into the festive spirit!  

That’s why I rounded up 50+ fun and cute Christmas nail designs that can give you some inspiration this year.  A lot of these looks can easily be recreated at home!  If you’re wanting to try out a matte look, I recommend getting this matte nail polish, it easily makes any nail polish matte within minutes:

To be able to hand draw on snowflakes and other small festive details, we recommend these nail art brushes.  They are incredibly fine, and help draw out really intricate details:
