Did you get your nails done for the holidays yet? If you’re looking for Christmas nails ideas, I’ve got good ones for you. I’m sharing 12 that I think are so fun for the holidays.
Simple Nail Art Designs
Up until a couple of years ago, I had never tried nail art. I found this awesome nail artist in Boston. When I saw her designs, I knew I had to try nail art.
I don’t do nail art that often for a couple of reasons. First, I often get bored with the design after a few days. I absolutely love the red and the simple white design I chose, but even that starts to feel mundane after a week. Second, nail art is much more expensive than regular manicures. However, if you do just one or two nails, it’s much less expensive.
I chose this super simple design because I love nail art, but I get tired of it so quickly. The reason I chose this design is I wanted something that said holiday but also felt pretty neutral. The red color is one of my favorites, Plus, the design is simple and feels more wintery than just Christmas.
A lot of the Christmas nails ideas I chose are super neutral on purpose. I personally prefer them over loud nail designs. In the week since I’ve had my manicure, I’ve gotten so many compliments. I think the red color is really striking, with just a little shimmer in it. My nail artist hand-painted the little white details. If you’re unsure of trying nail art, I’d suggest starting simple, like I did.

I hope you like these 12 fun Christmas nails ideas. Personally, I don’t do a ton of nail art. I do get tired of it. Since I usually get gel on my nails, they last 2-3 weeks. After the first week, I’m usually tired of the color and the pattern. That’s why I do prefer more subtle nail art ideas. Plus, I think the ones I chose above are all super cute but still subtle enough that I wouldn’t get tired of them. Doing nail art is just one simple and fun way to express your personal style and also have a little fun. Hopefully, these give you some fun inspiration for holiday nails or winter nails.
