Christmas nails can look especially striking when the colors and finishes create beautiful contrast against deeper skin tones. Rich reds, emerald greens, bright whites, metallic golds, icy silvers, and jewel tones can all make a festive manicure feel bold and polished.
You can keep things elegant with glossy solid shades and delicate shimmer, or have more fun with snowflakes, bows, chrome, candy-cane details, and sparkling accent nails. Nude bases that complement deeper complexions can also make colorful Christmas designs stand out even more.
