Festive season is upon us we feel there’s no better way to ease into the holiday spirit than with a mood-boosting manicure. While some of us like to stick to our nude nails year round, plenty of beauty lovers crave something a little more, dare we say, “jolly” come gift-giving season. Just like a martini, party dress or Christmas cracker, the right manicure can provide a mental gear shift and a much-needed dopamine hit, which is possibly why Pinterest sees a spike in searches for “Christmas nail art” every year (whether we celebrate it or not).  

Chances are, said search will probably turn up pine tree-heavy manicures and snow globe-inspired claws – which, when New Years Eve quickly comes round, will feel akin to leaving the decorations up a few months too long. And, of course, rich winter jewel tones that represent the festive season in many countries are totally unsuitable for scorching Australian silly season when summer nail trends lean far brighter.  

We totally support going full kitsch but you don’t need 3-D tree-shaped extensions to feel festive. Small accents on classic polishes or just the right shade of pillar box red can give your manicure the seasonally appropriate refresh you’re looking for. 

With this in mind, we’ve rounded up our favourite nail art concepts for holiday. Whether nude nails with fresh details, perfect reds or simply convivial, colourful designs, we promise these manicures will bring you plenty of holiday cheer.
