42 Festive Christmas Nail Art Ideas That You Can Do Yourself

Nothing gets us in the holiday spirit like putting on some jolly tunes, decorating the tree, and throwing on cozy pajamas (and fuzzy socks). But one thing that can really up the celebratory mood? Giving yourself a merry manicure at home in honor of "the most wonderful time of the year." Between all the festive shades on the market (think: deep red, hunter green, winter white, and icy blue) and classic Christmas symbols, there's tons of inspiration to draw from. So, to help you find simple Christmas nail art ideas ahead of December 25, we rounded up 42 different looks, including an elevated french tip, Santa-inspired designs, holly accents, snowflakes, string lights, candy canes, reindeer and more. And, thanks to nail stickers, press-ons, and stencils, these come together easily, even if you don't have the steadiest hand or have hit the holly jolly punch too hard.
