When we first started our holiday traditions, Matthew made a bold claim: “I don’t care about Christmas nails.” (I know, shocking, right?) But me being me, I saw this as the PERFECT opportunity to get him into the Christmas spirit.
We decided to take a break from wrapping presents and spend an evening painting my nails together. He was hesitant at first, but when he saw how quickly the sparkly red polish came together, he was sold. (Of course, I may have encouraged him to try the gold glitter accent nails… but hey, who could resist?)
So, we thought we’d share 10 simple Christmas nail design ideas with you, whether you’re a DIY nail pro or a first-timer. Trust us—these ideas are EASY, festive, and will make you feel like you’re walking through a winter wonderland. Let’s get our holiday nails on?!
