‘Tis the season for festive winter nails! I love going all out with glitter and nail art for my Christmas and New Year’s nails. I thought I’d share my recent nail designs in case you’re looking for winter mani inspo! I’ll keep this post updated too with more winter nails as I do them!
Glitter French Tip Nails

These simple French tip glitter nails are one of my favorite manicures I’ve ever done! They’re perfect for Christmas and New Year’s Eve, but neutral enough for winter. I use a thin liner brush for precise French tips
Nail Colors: Looky 3 in 1 gel in Claudine (glitter), and Meet Across gel in 13 (nude)
Neutral Snowflake Nails

I am loving the snowflake nail art trend, and had to do my own take in neutrals. These nails are perfect for Christmas without using red or green. Tip: apply glitter nail polish with a mini fan brush to get an ombre look.
Nail Colors: Looky 3 in 1 gel in Claudine (glitter), and Tornade (brown)

I call these my ice queen nails. I love this frosty, shimmery look for winter, and I added some silver foil to give them some extra shine.
Nail Colors: OPI “Naughty or Ice” over Essie “Mindful Meditation” with silver foil

You can never go wrong with a silver glitter manicure for winter! These are actually semi-cured gel nail polish strips, which make them super quick and easy to apply. I have a video tutorial on IG Reels here.
