The 38 Best Holiday Nails to Close out the Year

Lifestyle, Seasonal

Getting your nails done is one of those things that gives a woman a little sumthin sumthin, you know what I mean? There’s nothing like having a fresh manicure, whether it’s acrylic, gel, powder or even press on nails. You can be so creative and this holiday I would challenge you to really get into the spirit of the holidays and try some fun colors or designs.

Check out some of the most fun and vibrant nail designs that I found on the internet below…

Red

Red is a great color for Christmas and the chrome nail trend is still going strong.

Pinterest

Cat eye nails are also still trending hard and I love how these have red and gold streaks across them.

I call these jelly nails because they’re see through and look wet, don’t they?

Pinterest

Glitter is always good for the holidays.

This looks like a great DIY if you just splatter a complementary paint across the nails after giving them a cherry red hue.

Artist Hue

Green

Green is also a Christmas color and these velvet like forest green nails are perfectly festive.

These are incredible and look like there’s knit stitches on top.

Cat eye green nails, enough said.

Cuded

These green nails have a fun twist on tinsel.

The Scholarly Nail

Red & Green

Put red and green together and you end up with the best of both worlds like these red nails with green at the cuticles.

Pinterest

Can you believe these nails? Just fabulous.

Bored Panda

Red and green with glitter can be mixed and  match on all of the nails to get a cute look like this.

Nail the Glam

Plaid

One trend that’s new for this year is plaid. Yes, I said plaid. Check out these examples of the trend and see if you can find one that speaks to you.

These remind me of wrapping paper.

Try this trend in a plaid cat eye. So cool, right?

I call these the Wicked Nails because it’s what I imagine that Elphaba would wear to coordinate with her face. LOL

Candy canes and holly. Two designs are better than one.

Bored Panda

Why not put Santa hats on two  nails?

Memory Creator

Again two designs are better than one. Candy Canes and chrome French tips.

A green and chrome abstract print is a fun take on a holiday nail.

Pinterest

Festive

Go all out with these intricate gold nails for the holidays.

Pinterest

Multi-colored confetti nails could be fun also.

Etsy One Sparkly Mermaid

Something totally different. Try 3D nails with a different pattern on each one. Not for everybody, but very unique.

New Year’s Eve

Chrome/Silver is the color for New Year’s Eve. I love these nails with the chrome outline. So edgy.

Pinterest

French chrome tips are ladylike but still festive.

Poshmark

I have to say these are the bomb! Glitter with the funky tips on two nails. Nice.

Pinterest

When you have chrome nails, you really don’t have to do anything else.

Instagram @simlynail

I love the textured lines on these silver nails.

Instagram @murkanails

These iridescent nails will get you in the party mood.

Bored Panda

I don’t even know what to say about these except, “cool”.

Pinterest

“Velvet” nails are so elegant.

Mobi Bobi

The cat eye trend in silvery tones.

Unexpected

Checked nails in silver are so much fun!

Pinterest

This double french tip in black and silver will even dress up jeans and a t-shirt.

Hub Pages

A pearlescent nail with a rosy blush in the middle. So pretty.

Pinterest

Silver leaf on long nails certainly make a statement.

Pinterest

These are my favorite. I’m sensing a trend that I like it when 1 or 2 nails are painted differently than the others. Gives a minimal look a little twist.

Amazon

Nails are so personal, whether it’s the shape, the length or the aesthetic. I love looking at different nail designs and I hope you do too.

Take these pictures to your nail technician or try these designs yourself and I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of these festive looks.

Let me know in the comments if you go all out for your holiday nails and what are your favorites.

See ya next time.
