Nordic Sweater

Match your nails to your favorite holiday sweater with a nordic Fair Isle look. You can try hand-painting the design, or you can always take the easy route with pre-made appliqués.

Stained Glass

Add a statement nail or two in the form of a stained glass design, either hand-painted or with the help of a nail stencil. It's a subtle way to add personal details, seen here in the form of dainty David's stars.

Snowflakes

Update a classic red nail with the delicate snowflakes. Just add holiday-themed nail decals and seal it with a clear top coat.

Wrapping Paper

This easy negative nail can be made with the help of varying nail tapes. Start with a clear base coat. Once the lacquer is tacky, set alternating strips of metallic horizontally. Seal the look with a topcoat.
