23 Christmas nail art ideas to ensure your festive look is on-point this holiday season

You’ve got your gifting list down pat, and even had time to score the prettiest of holiday beauty collections for your arsenal. But what about your holiday-ready beauty look? Schedule your mani-pedi appointment ahead of time to ensure your nails match your outfit (and hair!) to a tee.

Shine on

Turn the notch up when it comes to the glitz factor with the shiniest, sparkliest, and most eye-catching nail art details. Prepare to stun with shimmer-laden digits—wear it on your tips, in swirls (and negative space), or in polka-dots—and sizable sequins that will definitely turn heads.

“Bigger is better” is your go-to mantra? Cop all the holographic sparkles and iridescent diamond-shaped sequins to really prove a point—and that Christmas is truly your favourite season.

Our favourite galactic motif can be pulled off in many ways, from stick-on star sequins (paste it in clusters or scatter one on each nail) to hand-drawn art that require the skills of the best of nail artists. Go starry-eyed with these exceptional nail art ideas:
