O
nce we hit the Thanksgiving mark, the urge to vamp up everything takes over. We start fussing about our decor, travel, food, and appearances. It’s officially the season to unapologetically look our best. We are counting down to off-duty days, and the hair, clothes, and nails have no choice but to give what they’re meant to give this holiday season. The first step is to explore as many Christmas manicure ideas as possible and pitch your tent with the one that resonates with you.
2022 nail arts are as creative as they are self-expressive. While the minimalist train is obsessing over neutral french tips and subtle shimmering variations, the go-bold-or-go-home gang is exploring the bright colors and mismatched patterns in all their elements.
These Christmas manicure ideas are not your regular manis…

Few patterns are as synonymous with Christmas as checkers. Interestingly, it has a way of tugging at the heart, perhaps due to its resemblance with certain wrapping papers. Play up the vibes with a good dose of shimmer. After all, it’s Christmas.
#4. Popping add-ons

Not everyone would prioritize a practical manicure over making a bold statement—side eye to Cardi B and Dua Lipa. Bold nails with chains, hoops, or metallic add-ons are great conversation starters. If you’re looking for out-of-the-box Christmas manicure ideas, consider unique add-ons.
