Festive Nail Art That Won’t Expire After Christmas

While snowflakes and snowmen are very timely, if you’re going to spend your dollah-dollah bills on gel nail art, you might as well make it last till the new year and beyond.

Copy these subtle nail art that feel festive, yet timeless.

When in Doubt, Glitter

Glitter makes everything happier, more festive, and party-ready. Paint it at the tips, reminiscent of snow mountains.

Or paint it all over a solid colour nail, or use it as an accent.

Winter Prints

Instead of screaming winter, hint at it with cosy fabrics that remind you of winter. We love this sweater weather one, complete with fuzzy nail art.

Plaids are very versatile, and add a nice casual touch to sparkly accents.

Tree, But Not Really

These abstract trees hint at a tree during Christmas, and then just look like geometric and floral shapes post gift-holiday!

Star Struck

Stars are the shape equivalent of glitter. Add them to any ol’ nail base to create a festive mood.

Winter Shades

Ditch the green and red combo with these contemporary winter colours. Try something dusty to match those winter feels.

If you’re going green then this deep emerald swirls with glitter hints are a gorgeous, contemporary take!

Three words: metallic nail tapes.
