Christmas nails always make for a fun and festive look! Here are some ideas to get you started:
1. Start with a base of white or ivory nail polish.
2. Add small red, green, and gold glitter beads to your design to give it that extra pop of color.
3. Use a light pink or baby blue nail enamel for the hearts (or use red and green nail polish together as a mini-heart) and finish off the design with a golden top coat.
4. If you want something a little more complicated, try following these easy steps: Paint two coats of your base color on all your nails. Then add one coat of red nail polish in a gradient from the base of your nail all the way to the tips. For the second layer, paint one coat of green nail paint in the same gradient but stop one half-way up the nail so that there is a stripe of yellow directly below it. Finally, Put a final lacquer sealer over everything and you're done!

If you're looking to stand out at Christmas, consider adding a nail art design to your ensemble. Nail art can range from the traditional Christmas gift giving of chocolate covered strawberries hors d'oeuvres to more creative ideas like this festive cracker design.

Materials:
- file
- base color, preferably a dark brown or black
- red, green, and gold acrylic paint, plus white (for details)
- small round wooden dowel
- clear topcoat (optional)
1. Begin by painting your nails with a base color of your choice. We used a dark brown for this example, but any color will look great with these festive cracker designs!
2. Next we applied two coats of red acrylic paint over the entire nail. We then used a toothpick to create three gold stripes near the edges of each red stripe. This gave our design an extra pop of metallic interest!
3. To finish up the design, we added several green dots over the gold stripes and around the base of the nail. Finally, we finished it off with a final coat of clear topcoat if desired.
