25 Unique and Cute Nail Design Ideas that are Perfect for Christmas

Classic themes like Santas and reindeer feature in many of the designs, but others have new and original themes like Fair Isle sweaters. A few of the designs feature texture elements like bows on presents and Santa’s fuzzy fur-trimmed coat.

Fun-loving cute Christmas nail designs like Santas and penguins appeal to the kid in all of us. Others are more adult and sophisticated, like white-on-white cable knits and simple silhouettes. The grown-up look of white on pastel is especially current and fashionable.

Many of the designs take advantage of the deep shimmer of glitter nail polish. Glitter reflects the light and makes the designs extra festive. Sometimes glitter serves as the background of a nail design, while in other designs, a plain glittered nail complements the pattern.

Some of these cute Christmas nail designs are simple enough to do at home, while others may require the special touch of your favorite nail artist. Just bring this slideshow with you to the salon and let your stylist’s creativity shine and create cute nails.
