Before the clock strikes 12, no matter how you spend the day, we can all agree on one thing: sleighing a stunning set of Christmas nails is the easiest and chicest way to feel festive during the holiday season.

While you’re busy planning the perfect outfit, whether it’s a onesie or a Christmas cocktail dress, don’t forget about the little details that can make a big impact. This year, let your nails be the star of the show with these thirteen nail ideas that will complement and complete your Christmas OOTD.

Bloody Holiday

Alright, let’s skip the candy canes and get straight to the good stuff. Dive into the depths of deep burgundy or blood-red nails – it’s like a horror movie for your fingertips, but in the most Christmas-y way possible. Add that matte finish or sprinkle some dark splatter effects for a mysterious touch and totally haunting holiday. It’s the perfect rebellion against the sea of sparkly reds.

Candy Cane Stripes

Time to nail that candy cane realness. Paint those red and white stripes on your nails for a look that’s as sweet as sugar and twice as festive. Warning: may cause spontaneous cravings for peppermint treats.

Holy Holiday

Who says peace and purity can’t be stylish? Capture the serene essence of the season with a holy holiday set infused with ethereal gold and angelic themes. You’ll feel as if heaven rests at your fingertips, resonating with the celestial artistry that embodies the spirit of the season.

Mistletoe Green

Time to sleigh with the holiday spirit by giving those lush, deep green nails a go. Throw in some sparkle or paint on a cute mistletoe design for that extra charm—totally nailing it, and who knows, maybe scoring a kiss too.

Mr. Snowman?
