4 Festive Nail Designs You Can Easily Do at Home

By

The most wonderful time of year is finally here, but before indulging in the season’s popular festivities like tree trimming, toasting, and cookie decorating, consider giving yourself a pre-party manicure at home. After all, your fingers will be front and center while cupping warm beverages and clinking champagne glasses with friends and relatives. Now is the time to ensure your holiday nails are on point for the upcoming celebrations. Gather your acetone-free fingernail polish remover and favorite festive nail polish colors, and let the magical manicure makeover begin.

Fingernail Polish Remover

Pretty in Plaid

This DIY festive holiday manicure with red and black polish is incredibly easy to pull off. Start by painting your nails a rich red shade. Draw four boxes on each nail using a striper brush and black polish. Fill in each of the boxes with black polish. Create diagonal lines with the striper brush dipped in black polish to connect the black boxes, creating a plaid pattern. Finish with a gel top coat to make your plaid pattern nails last longer by protecting them from nicks and scratches.

Merry Metallic Tips

Metallic tips add an edgy twist to your holiday manicure if you want to avoid sparkles but achieve that brilliant shine. Begin by painting your nails with a shimmery silver shade. Draw a horizontal line across your nail a quarter of an inch from your cuticle. Use a striper brush dipped in a navy or deep sapphire blue polish to draw the line. Fill in the top of your nail with the blue polish, then apply a matte top coat over the navy part only. This will give you a matte-meets-shiny silver combination that is simple yet sophisticated.

Let It Snow

Whether you live in a cold weather climate that gets snow or not, you can bring the snow to you with a sweet snowflake manicure. Start by painting your nails with a clear base coat, then use a thin brush dipped in white nail polish to draw three lines on your nails—this creates the foundation for your snowflake. Make tiny Vs at the end of each line to form the ends of the snowflake. Create a more significant snowflake to mix up the look on a few nails. Draw a horizontal line on your nail and X over the center for a six-prong snowflake. Then, create the tiny Vs on the ends, as you did above. Draw a hexagon connecting the intersecting lines of the snowflake, and then add small dots between the snowflake prongs. Wait until the white paint is dry and complete with a gel top coat to make your snowflakes shine.

Gold French Tips

If you’re looking for a simple but effective holiday look, you can’t go wrong with a rich, dark shade with gold tips. Depending on your holiday outfit, you can paint your base color black, navy, red, or green. Use a thin striper brush dipped in metallic gold nail polish, and paint a small line from one side of your nail, stopping halfway across the nail. Using the same brush and polish, finish the line from the other side of your nail and connect the two lines in the middle. Finish with a clear top coat to seal the edges of the two polishes together and prolong your masterpiece.

Below are five reasons to add mineral makeup to your winter beauty routine.  Mineral Makeup Calms and Soothes the Skin Mineral makeup is a better choice because they are non-comedogenic and hypo-allergenic, meaning it won’t clog pores, and is formulated for even the most sensitive types.
