The holidays are officially upon us! Parties, gatherings, and feasts are on the calendar for the rest of the month. With only a couple of days to go, it’s time to get your holiday manicure! If you’re looking for something festive and unique to give your holiday look and extra pop, these holiday nail trends will give you extra flair through the end of the year.
Dark Matte
To give a unique spin on an old classic, try adding a matte top coat to your winter darks.
Reds, emeralds, and sapphires lend to holiday and winter shades, but plums, browns, and even black can give your mani a fun elegance.
Glittery Glam
For a manicure that will go with your holiday and New Years outfits, look no further than full glittery glam. A show stopping look, full glitter will surely make a bold statement.
Gold and silver give a classic shine, but glitter in any color will give your nails a festive flair.
Gold Flecking
What a better time to shine than the winter holidays! If you like a little sparkle but don’t want the flashiness of full glitter, try adding gold accents.
Let your manicure shine in the light while keeping it subtle and understated.
Winter White
Who says you can’t rock white after labor day? White is a bold color that goes with just about anything. Plus it gives a little nod to white winter flurries outdoors.
If you have multiple events planned with a variety of outfits, white is a great way to complement them all.
Colored French
A fun new twist on a classic, adding color to a French tip gives extra detail to your holiday nails.
The French manicure will never go out of style. Rather, it can be reinvented with pops of color to match your mood or holiday style.
If you typically stick to a classic manicure, give colored French tips a try for an elegant but playful look.
Holiday Nail Art
For the fun loving and adventurous, nail art is a sure way to let your manicure do the talking this holiday season. Intricate two dimensional designs and 3d nail accessories are a fun trend for this holiday season.
Want to try nail art but prefer something simpler? Try a geometric design or an accent nail to bring life to your holiday manicure.
Tiger Eye
What says elegance more than a manicure named after a gemstone?
While there are many hacks out there for a tiger eye manicure, traditionally they are made with a metallic nail polish and a magnet. Watch a video of how this is done here.
