Maybe it's helpful to get a list of possible motifs and patterns in matching colors. Then it will be easier for you later to come up with something yourself or to change our ideas for nails for Christmas. Colors that are particularly suitable for Christmas nail design are red, green, white and gold. These are the classic Christmas colors as they are for the classicChristmas decorations in the housebe used. Use these colors to create any pattern. The nail design becomes rustic when a checkered pattern is created, but simple stripes or zigzag patterns are also suitable. If you like something a little more modern, you can of course also choose a geometric pattern for your French nails for Christmas.
When it comes to motifs, the selection is also quite large. Whether it's Christmas trees, candy canes, Christmas socks, reindeer, Santa Claus, Christmas tree baubles, fairy lights or candles, it doesn't matter. The choice depends primarily on whether you would rather have a playful fingernail design or a more elegant one. Typical winter flowers, which are also used for Christmas decorations, are also well suited. The knight's star, the poinsettia or the mistletoe are just a small selection. You can get the necessary sparkle and glitter with gold glitter.
Fir green as a motif
We particularly like the way the fir green was used in this nail design for Christmas. It represents the transition or border between the classic white fingertips and the transparent nail bed. The dark dots are intended to represent pine cones, but can also be replaced by red berries or other motifs. Instead of fir green, you can also use other Christmas motifs such as garlands or fairy lights.
Simple glitter design
You can also get these very easilyFingernails for Christmas. Apply a base coat first. Then you need a second layer on which you can spread golden glitter while it is still wet using a brush. This glitter should be applied densely on the tip of the nail, decreasing towards the half moon to create an ombre effect. The idea is great if you are in a bit of a hurry with your nail design. Tap off the excess glitter and don't forget the top coat!
Elaborate French nails for Christmas with glitter
If you want something more festive and extravagant, you can also use colored glitter or combine several colors together. The sparkly Christmas pattern above uses chunky green glitter and finer gold and white glitter. Green is the main color here, which then turns into gold and is finished with white glitter. This creates an even transition. Glue a snowflake onto the glitter and seal with clear nail polish.
Red gel nails
If you have the necessary lamp and matching gel polish, you can create a nail design that you will enjoy for a long time. And you can see a nice example of gel nails in red in the example above. The French nails for Christmas are made of red and white colors and are combined with pretty red and white patterns and motifs. Such are candy canes and dot patterns. Green can also be incorporated into the design or replace one of the other two colors.
Playful French manicure with gifts
This variant, with which you can design French nails for Christmas, is also very original. Although these are not typical Christmas colors, but colorful ones, they create a Christmassy look. This is simply due to the motif. These are gifts that also adorn the fingertips for French design. The golden nail polish used to design the bows also looks beautifully festive. You are welcome to use other colors.
Nail design in winter
It becomes particularly wintry with colors such as white and silver, as well as any shade of blue. The classic motif is of course the snowflakes. These can also be replaced with pine cones or pine greens on a white or blue background. Snowmen, icicles or sleighs are also great motifs that can make your nails a real eye-catcher and fairy lights are also suitable here. If you would rather create a simple pattern instead of an elaborate picture, then it is best to choose silver glitter, which you can use to create the French design and imitate snowfall. Otherwise, there are no limits when it comes to the pattern. If you want, you can also combine the winter nails with the Christmas motifs.
Dark blue with snowflake
Here you can see a great example of French nails for Christmas and winter, where the nail tip is designed with a dark blue metallic nail polish. This goes on a base coat. Once the blue varnish has dried, snowflakes can be drawn with a thin brush. Also vary with a few white dots, which are easiest to get with a dotting tool. These are even fasterNails for winterand Christmas when you use ready-made stickers. Finish with a clear top coat that seals in patterns and motifs.
Winter checkered
Or what do you think of this attractive and uncomplicated pattern? All you need is a base coat and a white, silver or glittery and light blue nail polish to create the stripes as shown. If you want it to be more Christmassy, simply choose Christmas colors. Finally, varnish with a top coat to fix the pattern and you're done. The checkered pattern can also be expanded with any motifs or stickers.
Combine shades of blue
If you can't decide on a shade of blue, simply combine several! This was also done with this winter nail design. While light blue polish adorns the ring fingers along with snowflakes, the French manicure on the remaining fingers was designed with an attractive dark blue. Very attractive, isn't it? Such combinations can also be put together with other colors. If you want it to be more Christmassy, you can choose suitable Christmas colors and Christmas-themed images and motifs.
