Christmas nail art designs we love

1. Christmas bows

Out of all trends that have emerged in 2025, the allure of bows is one we just can’t escape. Add a cute ribbon to your nails this festive season! We love a realistic classic red bow design.

2. Sultry midnight blue glass nails

Glass nails are all the rage, and we’re bringing them into the festive season with a sultry twist: velvety midnight blue glass nails. The reflective silver shimmer paired with leather-black undertones offers a chic, understated nod to the holidays—perfect for those who love a subtle, old-money vibe

3. Frost yourself with pearl swirls and snowflakes

Dazzle this festive season with a dreamy swirl of iridescent pearl polish! Add a playful twist by pairing it with classic French tips and delicate snowflake nail art for a look that’s equal parts chic and whimsical.

4. A snowflake and chrome combo for extra shine

Get a magical snowflake nail art over the prettiest pink chrome shade for a 3D effect that can be noticed from miles away.

5. Va-va-voom cherry mocha nails with pizzaz

This cherry mocha shade dubbed by the Gen Zs (you can just call it burgundy too) is giving hostess with the mostess. Don’t forget to flaunt it with a glass of mulled wine.

6. Christmas but make it abstract

If you’re planning to DIY your Christmas nails this year but aren’t the most creative, simply add ‘splashes’ of festive reds, greens and gold glitter topped with a white snowflake for mini masterpieces on your nails.

7. The cutest gingerbread man

A deconstructed gingerbread man doesn’t sound great on paper but on nails? Fab! Use a delish brown base for your green and red motifs.
