11 White Christmas Nail Ideas To Try This Festive Season

White Christmas Nail Ideas

While most people get excited about resurrecting their Christmas tree every year, come December 1st we’re furiously adding seasonal manicure inspiration to our Pinterest boards.

But if a palette of red and green, and nostalgic motifs of gingerbread and reindeer isn’t really your style, how can you embrace the spirit of the season?

Well, that’s where white Christmas nails come in.

Inspired by the frosty, wintery wonderland of the Northern hemisphere, they’re not too dissimilar from the familiar shade of funny bunny you wear 11 months of the year.

From simplistic, singular shade manicures, to hand painted snow flakes, and frosted chrome finishes, here are 11 white Christmas nail design ideas to try in 2024.

      • Well the acrylic or powder actually keeps mine a LOT stronger than natural nails and household chores a lot easier without broken nails snagging on everything! They don’t have to be super long either. This is the first year I’ve had no overlays and my nails are broken and painful. Plus you can forget about nail polish staying on longer than 2 days

  1. This is my first Christmas I’m not celebrating and my first one with broken, natural nails… so I’m just admiring these gorgeous, shimmery, white nails. I think white with some shimmer or glitter suits everyone too and goes well into NYE celebrations and beyond 🍾 ✨ 💅
