The holiday season is upon us, and GlossaryLive has rounded up its favorite holiday nail art trends from Instagram’s dazzling lineup of designs. This year’s looks bring a beautiful mix of sparkle, charm, and a touch of natural nail, making them as versatile as they are festive. From shimmering French tips to sugared sweaters and delicate snowflakes, these designs embrace the holiday spirit in the most chic way.
One of the standout trends this season is the natural nail peek. With a bit of the natural nail showing through, these designs feel fresh, modern, and effortlessly sophisticated. This minimalistic touch doesn’t mean going light on holiday flair; rather, it allows the design to be both playful and refined. By keeping some negative space, each look becomes easier to pair with holiday outfits, giving a harmonious balance to any style.
Let’s talk about some of the most popular holiday looks:
Sparkling French Tips: The classic French manicure gets a holiday twist with glittering tips. From silver to gold or any color between, this look keeps the nails polished and party-ready without overpowering.
Sugared Sweaters: Nothing says cozy like sweater-inspired nails. This trend recreates the texture of knits on nails with a matte finish, giving a soft and warm look perfect for winter.
Snowflakes and Stars: Tiny snowflakes or star accents over a nude or translucent base add a touch of winter wonder. This delicate detail adds seasonal charm while keeping the design subtle and chic.
Metallic Accents: Gold and silver metallic touches, like foils or thin lines, are perfect for adding a bit of holiday glam. Paired with a neutral base, they create a high-impact yet balanced look.
This holiday season, let your clients embrace the festive spirit while keeping things simple and sophisticated. By leaving a hint of the natural nail visible, these designs stay flexible for any outfit or occasion, allowing clients to enjoy the holiday fun with a stylish, balanced look.
