Red is a timeless classic, signifying love, divinity and a new beginning. It is the color associated with the Christmas season par excellence., which is demonstrated in the variety of nail designs that wear this shade and the famous ones, like Kate Middleton, who use them. All manicures are valid: from simple red nails to those with fun motifs. Some designs that you can apply in this color are:
Candy Cane: the white and red candy well known to everyone. Apply it like a French on your nails, draw the batons or color one layer white and another red to achieve this effect.
White snowflakes: To make this design we recommend using a fine brush, since this will give you greater precision. You can draw traditional flakes or intersperse with other motifs such as snowmen. Likewise, if you are a fan of glitter, you can add fancy rhinestones to make your manicure more striking.
Hats Santa Claus: This is another well-known Christmas design. Let your creativity fly and silhouette a pattern of red hats with gold, black or green. You can also draw the face of Santawith a big red hat that takes up half of your nail.

It’s color It is elegant and a great base for drawing Christmas motifs on your nails, which means purity, religion and joy. If you want a subtle manicure, you can use shades nude, pale pink or glitter, to make very delicate designs. On the other hand, if you are looking for something more striking, this is a perfect canvas on which you can create countless designs, such as:
Christmas gift: Gifts are an icon of Christmas. You can wear them on your nails if you cross a vertical and horizontal line, and draw a bow in the center. Additionally, you have the option of adding small red dots to the white color, to simulate gift wrap.
Ombré Christmas: manicure with effect ombré It took off in 2023 and it is logical that we see it adapted to the colors for Christmas. You can make a white gradient, starting from the base of your nail, and the color nude or silver intensifies until it reaches the tip.

In this list of nail colors for Christmas, green could not be missing, another of the classics. This color, which means abundance, hope and freshness, alludes to nature and will allow your nails to look very sophisticated if you use a pine or dark tone.
Besides, you can combine it with details of other colors —especially gold and white—, so that they look more striking. Some designs that you can create with a green base are:
Golden stars: It is a fairly sober design, in case you have a work meeting and don’t want to wear the typical one-color manicure. Remember to use a fine brush so that the line is more delicate.
Christmas tree: If, however, you are looking for something more fun, you can take advantage of the color and add red, white and yellow dots to simulate spheres and create the illusion of wearing the Christmas pine tree on your nails. For this reason we recommend using green polish with glitterso they will shine more.
Mistletoes: Another design that you can work on green is the classic mistletoe, present in Christmas movies and drawings. The recommendation here is to use a light green base, such as mint, so that the red of the fruits of this plant and the dark green of the leaves shine.
Dorado
This color is widely seen in clothing and manicure. Instagram @lacktraviata and @cross_nails_by_christina.
Gold looks very elegant during the Christmas festivities and is never missing in clothing, accessories or manicure. As it is usually a bright tone, which means light, wealth and royalty, many times it is not usually combined with anythingbut the nail is painted completely and accompanied with glitter.
However, this year we have seen a lot of strength in the pearly style manicure, an effect that It can also be applied to achieve a metallic gold tone. On this tone you can make designs, such as:
Christmas sparkles: Similar to the stars on the green base, golden sparkles are worked on the white color, or white sparkles on the gold. The result is very beautiful and distinguished on long nails due to the lengthening of the tips and sparkles.
Silhouette: Gold can be seen a lot in details on nails of other colors such as, for example, red. On this base, you can draw figures of Christmas spheres, Christmas trees or lines to simulate the Scottish-type wrapping paper, famous in American movies.
Burgundy
This is a color that can be worn alone. Instagram: @nananails_art and @nailsbymilee.
If there is one as famous as red, among Christmas nail colors, it is burgundy. Much darker and more serious, It is this season’s favorite for celebrities like Hailey Bieber or Jennifer Lópezwho have worn their nails just like the meaning of the color: with strength and power.
The truth is that this tone is so beautiful and refined that it can be worn alone. However, if you want to combine it to put together a Christmas design, here are some ideas:
Rhinestones: To make your nails shine more this Christmas, you can combine the burgundy color with gold or silver rhinestones. Put together a Christmas tree, shape them into flakes or arrange them as if they were falling snow.
Sweater effect: Another highly sought after Christmas design this season are sweater effect nails. To these you can add white lines or paint stars of that color to give it more realism and attract attention to your manicure.
French: If you want something more subtle, double-line or simple French nails, in burgundy, are an excellent option as they look delicate and on-trend. Use the style you like the most: traditional, triangular, circular and more.
Gris
The most common thing is to carry it with glitter. Instagram: @e___ne___ y @malgorzata_jankowska_indigo.
For more serious people who do not want to attract so much attention, a gray Christmas manicure is ideal. In recent years, we have moved away from the stereotype that this is a boring color and we have turned the idea around, to turn it into a color that reminds us of Nordic winter or snowfall. Some popular designs are:
Snow: A very delicate motif is to paint small white dots on a light gray base to create the effect of a cloudy sky and snow. This is a recurring landscape in the winter season and something that, ultimately, reminds us of Christmas.
Plata: you can add to it glitter silver to your nails, to make them more striking. Like gold, glitter adds a festive tone to your manicure.
Rosadas
This season opt for shades nude or pale pink. Instagram: @malgorzata_jankowska_indigo and @ideas_for_nailart.
Around 2015, the rose gold It became popular and never left the festive scene in the world again. Anne Hathaway and Selena Gómez are just some of the celebrities who have used this color in manicures during these times, and the delicacy that this color transmits, which means sensitivity, innocence, warmth and comfort, combined with the glamor of glitterthey will make you look very nails chic and in trend.
Use this manicure alone, with glitter, or in subtle designs with other tones such as gray, gold, silver or white. You can also choose shades nudewhich will allow you to balance the colors.
Azul
It is not very traditional, but it can certainly be given a Christmas air. Instagram: @pazurkowe_co_nie_co and @nailzbyhailz.
This one is less popular, but we couldn’t leave it out in this list of Christmas nail colors. Use blue as a base for your manicure, since similar to green, contrasts with most Christmas tones, highlighting the other tones. You can draw a star with white nail polish, or a Christmas garland, with red, yellow, green and white dots.
