Christmas Nail Designs: 35+ Merry Designs To Recreate

This post is all about the best Christmas nail designs you will want to copy this holiday season.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! It’s also the most indecisive time of the year for me when it comes to picking out Christmas nail designs.

I always walk into the nail shop with a single design in mind and walk out with something totally different anyway. Mix in my festive holiday nail ideas in there and you have pure chaos.

I’ve been really into decorating this year. All the holidays are getting my undivided attention because of quarantine. So extra attention to detail has been the name of the game this year.

I like to keep it festive and simple. I also don’t get too carried away so I won’t be embarrassed to show my hands at my regular 9-5 job.

No Santa Claus hats and reindeer on the nails for me even though there are some really cute ideas for those. At least not this year.

If you’re into being festive with your nails during the holiday season, then you have run across the best post ever.

I have been stalking Instagram and Pinterest for the best Christmas nail designs for 2020. I think I have found the best ones yet.

No need to keep scrolling Pinterest for hours because I have them all compiled in this easy to follow list.

All of these pictures are from Instagram and Pinterest. In no way am I claiming ownership of these photos. If there is a picture that is untagged it is from Pinterest. You can checkout out my Christmas Nail design board here to learn more about the design.

🇵🇱 Coraz bliżej święta, a jeszcze paznokci z reniferem nie było! 🦌⁣ ⁣ Dzisiejsze zdobienie to połączenie pięknych naklejek z ręcznie malowanymi gwiazdkami i noskiem. Całość wykonana produktami @misteromilano_official⁣ ⁣ A jeśli mowa o tych delikatnych złotych naklejkach, to ich recenzję znajdziecie na blogu. Pokazuje tam wszystkie wzory, które są dostępne w sklepie. Link w bio! 🎀⁣ ⁣ 🇬🇧 Christmas is coming and there was no reindeer nail design up to now! Today’s nail art is a mixture of beautiful stickers with freehand white stars and red nose. Everything was made with Mistero Milano products. 🦌⁣ ⁣ Those golden stickers’ review is already on my blog. You can find there all patterns which are available in their shop. Link in bio!⁣ ⁣ _________________________________________⁣ #misteromilano #misteromilanonails #reindeer #renifer #rudolf #rudolftherednosereindeer #reindeernails #christmasnailartdesign #swiatecznepaznokcie #hybridmanicure #rednailart #glitternailsdesign #gliternails #paznokcieświąteczne #starsnails #polskiepaznokcie #longnails #stickersnails #naklejkinapaznokcie #stickersnail #zblogowani #nowepaznokcie #nailitmag #nails #christmasnailsart
