50 Christmas Nail Designs Guaranteed To Bring Joy
Sep 16, 2022
It’s that special time of the year again when we see the streets and neighborhoods full of Christmas lights and festive decorations. The idea of gift-giving and joy has begun to consume us as we get into the holiday spirit. One of my favorite Christmas activities is decorating my home by hanging up Christmas lights and stockings and decorating the tree. One thing I also enjoy doing is giving myself a Christmas manicure. It brings me so much joy seeing each Christmas nail design on my nails everyday and I know you will feel the same too.
Holidays are a great time to stray away from the simple designs we choose to do to our nails. You wouldn’t normally have Santa and his elves on all ten fingers or Christmas lights and a Christmas tree on your nails, so why not now. These designs are made to put you in the holiday spirit and be eye-catching as well. So, give yourself a Christmas manicure or get it done by somebody else. In the end, these nails will look amazing while you are wrapping and unwrapping some special gifts.
So, to give you all the inspiration you need I have put together 50 Christmas nail designs that are guaranteed to bring joy.
So let’s start with…
1
Merry Christmas
This nail design wants to tell you Merry Christmas and the snowman and the reindeer are there to give you extra joy and you can’t forget the Christmas tree too. These four nails are here to show you the Christmas spirit.
2
The Gingerbread Man and His Christmas Lights
Just, look at the gingerbread man’s happy face as he gets ready to light up the Christmas lights. How can this nail design not bring Christmas joy when you look at your nails.
3
An Artistic Christmas
This design is creative on its own by the artist being able to use one line to create four different designs. On each nail you have a present, a Christmas tree, a reindeer, and a pretty flower all to create a beautiful abstract set. The dark green spot lined with a sparkly gold color makes the design pop even more.

I Like My Designs in Red
Four different designs but they all have something in common…the color red! You have the traditional candy cane design, then a plain red nail with a silver stud, next is a snowflake French tip, and lastly a winter sweater design.
5
Christmas Sparkles
Why be simple when you can use sparkles and rhinestones. This Christmas nail design was made to stand out. Santa’s jacket is brushed with silver sparkles on the fur part and the candy cane design is sparkly too. One thing that stands out is that beautiful bow on top.
6
A Bear’s First Christmas
This design is so adorable with the joyful animated bear on an accent nail. It looks so cute with its Santa hat and Christmas gift. This design leaves all the focus on the smiling bear as the rest of the nails have snow falling on a starry Christmas night.
7
Little Designs
The artist used the staple winter/fall color brown as the background and white to highlight the design so it has a cartoon effect. These designs are all in a shade of red that compliments this brown color.
8
Christmas Party
You don’t always have to use the traditional red, green, and white to show your joy for Christmas. Like this Christmas nail design says “let’s get festive” so enjoy the beautiful Christmas lights.
9
A Fancy Christmas
This design is simple but elegant. The use of the light pink color in the background makes the nails look clean and natural. Also, the use of a sparkle nail polish and different gems enhances the theme of elegance. Just look at the fancy Christmas tree nothing but rhinestones and gems were used to create it.
10
Candy Cane Swirl
A candy cane French tip but with a twist to it. There is one nail that has both edges of the nail designed like a candy cane. As for the rest of the nails the candy cane French tip design is dragged to one side of the nail. Now, to make the design pop even more the artist topped them off with some rhinestones.
11
A Plaid Christmas
A Christmas nail design in plaid but with a creative twist. The Christmas ornament and the Christmas tree are in plaid with gold as an accent color. The gold adds a little sparkle to the cute design.
12
Brown and Red
Two different colors and five different designs. The two red nails are similar but one is more like a sparkly candy cane and the other is a swirl. For the brown designs, you have something that looks like a dessert, a plaid nail, and a sparkly brown color.
13
Santa Clause
Another design with a special accent nail. This accent nail is none other than Santa Clause which brings so much Christmas joy to the design. This nail artist even added a little special touch in painting Santa Clause because you can notice his rosy cheeks.
14
Christmas Sparkles
Red, white, and sparkles always go together during this festive season. That sparkly silver Christmas ornament is making that statement true.
15
The Reindeer
A nail design with two accent nails. The design of the reindeer has a lot of detail put into it. Can we take a moment to notice the snow on its antlers and its relaxed facial expression? On another nail the nail artist used acrylic to created a beautiful reindeer inspired design.
16
A Cozy Snowman
I love the mix of colors. The baby blue, tan, and gold colors go together so well and the well-dressed snowman is here to show that. Once again amazing detail to these characters. So many little lines and designs created such a realistic hat, scarf, and sweater combo.
17
Christmas to the Point
These long stiletto nails are beautifully designed in red and white colors. This design incorporated a candy cane design, a snowflake, and a pretty rhinestone bow.
18
Ho Ho Ho
It’s Christmas night and Santa is riding around giving all his toys away and as he takes a little break to look up at the night sky. At that moment he sees stars and he can’t help but say ho ho ho to the amazing view.

A Christmas Tartan
Another plaid nail design but with a French tip twist. So many perfect lines and the asymmetrical shape is perfect. To complete the look you have the tartan plaid bow to match.

Just look at its face! It is either in a panic because somebody decided to eat him or because there are falling candy canes. All I can say is that this design will continuously put a smile on my face.

Cool Grey
Such a pretty cool grey design. I like how it looks like it has more texture than it actually does because of the placement of the gems around the snowflakes. Also, all the different grey colors come together so beautifully.
