“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Everywhere you go.” – Michael Bublé. Indeed, Christmas is in the air. It is that time of the year to decorate sparkling, twinkling baubles, cook delicious meals and prepare gifts for friends and families. Needless to say, each of us also wants to appear gorgeously on this special occasion. So, today ILLUME eMAG will introduce you to 15 ideas for Christmas acrylic nails that you’ll fall in love with at first sight.
French candy cane tips. Sets of bejeweled beads. If you’re seeking the perfect Christmas acrylic nails, there are plenty of ideas.
A shiny red almond set covered in small snowflakes, like the ones designed by nail artist Andelika Malik, should be saved right away for those who are eager to dive straight in. There’s nothing more Christmas than turning your nails into mini ornaments.
If you’re easing into the celebrations, an elegant, minimalist manicure like the one Haiyen Tran expertly painted is a wonderful option. The neutral pattern also works well with the variety of holiday makeup ideas you have planned.
This Christmas season is unquestionably all about nails. We’ve compiled a list of the loveliest Christmas nails you’ll want to wear all winter.
A Star-studded Affair
This nude set has a little glitter, a little edge, and is perfect for the most wonderful time of year. Try painting the underside of the nail, like Ahn did above, for a little added surprise. Red bottoms are always in vogue.
Glossy Rep Tips
Choose red and play with new textures for a festive touch on the classic French nail. There are many different shades of red to select from when it comes to picking the correct one. Whether you choose a cinnamony shade or a cherry lacquer, the slanted edge of the tips adds dimension and takes this manicure to the next level.
Pink Marble
If you thought marble was only for the summer, think again. This design is suitable for all seasons. Nail artist Emma Jane added a coat of glitter and silver snowflakes to give it a Christmas vibe.
Starry Tips
This super sweet manicure is lovely on its own, but it looks much better with a mug of creamy hot chocolate in hand. It’s strangely nostalgic to see the same hand-painted stars we saw in our favorite childhood stories.
Minimalist Plaid
So, you want something plaid but not too much? Choose a couple of nails to highlight the print and keep the rest of your nails neutral with a bright red color.
Frosty Finish
With a curve extension, you could modify the shape of your nails. With sprayed swirls and butterfly decals, the frosted effect developed by the ever-talented Krocaine looks vintage but sophisticated.
Candy Cane Delight
What symbolizes Christmas more than candy canes? If you don’t want to commit to a whole set of sweet treats, choose one accent nail and balance it out with a few white snowflakes sprinkled throughout the others.
Chic Wreath
You’ve probably seen a lovely wreath but never imagined wearing it on your nails. As it turns out, it makes an excellent nail. Play around with pieces of the wreath stretched over nails for a new effect, as seen above.
Gingerbread Mani
Gingerbread men are great to eat, but they also look fantastic on your nails. You’ve won Christmas if you add some pink candy canes to your nails.
Furry Friends
For nail art lovers, Christmas nail art inspiration comes in many. The large teddy bears that greet us at every mega-mall appear equally beautiful against the blue polish and frosted snowflakes.
Baby Blues
Baby Blues is never out of style for young people. We believe we’ve found the ideal baby blue. Add dimension by sprinkling a few crystal gemstones on the cuticle and lining it with a strip of gold paint.
Striped French
It may sound like a lot of candy cane French tips with a glitter foundation, but it really works, as shown above.
Wrapped Up
Yes, we’ll always adore a bow, especially when it’s painted beautifully by nail artist Stephany Almanzar. Your nails will be as attractive as your Christmas presents.
Glitter and Gloss
Glossy mauve and rose gold glitter are a perfect match. It looks gorgeous and attractive at the same time.
Go for Gold
A Christmas nail roundup would be incomplete without a golden manicure. This warm metal color looks equally well wrapped in a present box as it does on a nude base.
