Hey Dolls,

Christmas is less than a week away!

Here's some of our fave holiday manis to try!

ABSTRACT CHRISTMAS TREE

A beginner friendly nail art look that's simple yet oh-so-cute! The dry brush technique used here adds a beautiful dimension to this look and creates the abstract Christmas tree pattern. 3D embellishments make the look fun and add a nice pop of color.

POINSETTIA FLORALS

If you're searching for a red and green manicure that's festive yet something different, than try this! The white base really makes the floral print stand out and with the help of this DIY video tutorial, you'll have all your friends asking how you created this!

SWEATER WEATHER

Draw inspiration from your cozy sweaters this season! This cute nail art can be worn all winter long and you can get more wear out of them by simply changing the red to any other color and pastels would also work great here! Click for the video tutorial.

RED & GLITTER

In shades of red and green to keep it festive, yet a look that can be worn any day of the year.  Begin with a red base. Then, add chunky glitter in green and gold to an accent finger and stamp an ornamental or scroll design for an abstract look. 

CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS

This nail look is so fun! Again, the white base really makes the colors on top really pop. Holiday ornaments created with a nail stamper and embellished with nail accessories to really make the look whimsical and perfect for the holiday season.

CRYSTAL SNOWFLAKES

White, silver and gold are the perfect color palette for this season and this nail art can be worn all season long and will compliment just about anything. The pink pop of color can be easily changed to suit your taste and style. Cute, feminine and season appropriate!

NON CLASSICAL HALF MOON

Foolproof half moon manicure. Begin with a red base and allow to completely dry. Then use H*** Reinforcements (which you can pickup from your craft supplies section) and apply to the bottom part of your nail in an inverted 'u' shape. Fill in the bottom part of the nail with metallic or glitter polish. Finish with top coat!

SNOWFLAKE DECALS

Ever work with a nail stamper and can't transfer the entire image to the nail? Check out this awesome nail hack! You're basically creating your own nail stickers out of the stamped design and can then place them as desired. Click to watch this DIY video tutorial.

METALLIC CHRISTMAS-Y LOOK

This one is so random - we love it! This mix-matched design has so many fun elements of the holidays: snowflakes, tree motifs, gift wrap print and our favorite, metallics!

SNOWFLAKES

Okay, so we're a little obsessed with snowflake manicures! This glam version features glitzy metallic shades along with white and black which will compliment all your holiday ensembles.  

FESTIVE STRING LIGHTS

If you're not a fan of the 'ugly Christmas sweaters' incorporate the holiday designs on your nails! We love this textured and colorful string lights look which is fun and playful.
