1. Festive Candy Cane Holiday Nails
Such nails are like unwrapping a Christmas present in glittering lights. The light combination of stripes of candy cane, shining tips of red and the ribbon art can make you instantly get into a mood of celebration. They combine the delight of December with a sparkle that is as whimsical and sophisticated as it is classy enough to wear during holiday parties when you need your style to feel festive but elegant.
Such a look is well done on almond or stiletto forms and is particularly dramatic on medium or long lengths. Perfect in lovers of bright red patterns, it is lightweight enough to match with a neutral outfit or a comfortable sweater. A top coat and a high-gloss finish are necessary in order to keep the shine, and simple gold jewelry will be a perfect compliment to the nails in Winter christmas parties.
2. Red Ribbon Holiday Nails
Something instantly appealing about these nails is that they have been covered like a miniature Christmas present each. The smooth bottom allows the deep red ribbons to shine in the spotlight and the bows give it the innocent but magical touch of the holidays. It is a festive design, but not so loud and hits the right balance of playful and elegant.
Most suitable to medium-length almond shapes, these nails are easy to wear and still have a touch of creativity to them. The narrow ribbon stripes stretch the fingers and fit perfectly with neutral and bright holiday clothes. Minimalistic yet fashionable, this design will make you have that posh feeling of December without the excessive fashion accessories – the artwork will do the talking instead.
3. Snowy White Sparkle Holiday Nails
You can feel like you enter a snowy Winter wonderland, and that is what these nails give you. The pale white with a single flashy accent nail makes a subtle but undoubtedly celebration look. It is the type of design that reflects the light in the most perfect way possible and your hands feel just as classy as freshly fallen snow.
This would be the best selection among women who prefer simple and neutral and add some glitz. It suits well to fine or medium hair textures -oh, I have to correct it; it suits well to almond shaped nails, the ones of medium to long length- glossy finish adds to the straight lines. Wear them with warm woolens in the winter months or a glittery cocktail dress during Christmas and they will always have the right look.
4. Bold Red Snowflake Holiday Nails
This design is the one to choose in case you want your nails to feel like the star of all holiday parties. The matte nude base allows the bright red and glittering silver prints to be seen, and the brightly painted snowflakes and candy stripes decorations put each nail into its own Christmas masterpiece. It is bold, celebratory and assertively happy.
This is a great design to use with long coffin or square nails, allowing many room to create detailed art. It suits those women who prefer something that is eye catching and eager to add art to their beauty products during the festive period. Add a red lip or statement earrings and you will have a complete appearance that gives the impression of Winter christmas glamour.
5. Classic Red and White Holiday Nails
Red polish and candy-cane stripes are inseparable and tell Christmas. These nails remind of drinking cocoa in front of the fire when the snowflakes are falling outside. They are daring but easy, celebratory but evergreen – that type of a design that will never become out-of-date throughout holiday season.
This group is an ideal inspo option when it comes to short to medium-long shapes of almonds, providing a combination of utility and fashion. The snowflake accents are not too festive to the extent of overwhelming the design and can be used during the office days in the month of December and even on Christmas time in the family get together. Their gel finish is easy to care for, and an ideal choice when you want festive nails that are cute and classy.
6. Shimmering Red Bow Holiday Nails
These nails are as bright as wrapping paper at the Christmas tree. There is the boldness and festivity in the deep metallic red at once, and the small touches of art in the bow art on two accent nails serve as a sweet and playful element. It is a fashion that ensures your hands look shiny, poised and fit to take any holiday photo or party.
This design is ideal when you are fond of making a bold fashion statement and best applied to long almond or stiletto shapes. The chrome coating is light reactive and thus the nails have a high fashion factor but the bow makes it festive and adorable. Pearl matching simple gold or silver rings will allow the red glow to be in the spotlight.
