No matter what the time of year, you can paint your nails to match seasons and occasions. Create your own holiday nails to coordinate with your own preferences. From welcoming the new year to celebrating December holidays, there are several ways that you can show off your holiday spirit.
The simplest holiday designs only take one or two colors to pull off. For instance, you could use a bold red and pure white for several Christmas-inspired designs. Consider creating stripes, dots or even a French manicure with these two colors for a quick festive look. Also, you can add some glittery white polish for snow-like effects.
A combination of blues and whites can make a dramatic winter effect. You can paint snowflakes, add frost and little decorations to make your nails shine. Check out pictures and tutorials for design inspiration.
Valentine’s Day is also popular for holiday nails. Heart designs in every style imaginable abound during this time of year. For a cute design, mix the hearts with Cupid’s arrows. Don’t forget that leaving some nails a solid color can help the designs to stand out.
Other options include adding the word “love” in an attractive script, or painting your nails to match the cute little message candies that are popular for the holiday. Some women opt to use broken hearts or similar designs to playful address their single status for the couple’s holiday.
Americans everywhere celebrate the Fourth of July, and this holiday gives you another opportunity to find fun, decorative ways to paint your nails. Red, white and blue are the colors of choice for this theme, though you can mix and match them in numerous ways. Though you probably can’t fit an entire flag on one nail, you can use stripes on some and stars on others.
Halloween is another holiday that gets nail artists excited. Perhaps that is because you have so many design ideas to work with for creating gorgeous Halloween nails. Whether you are a fan of kitties or ghosts, this holiday has you covered.
When you look at nail art ideas for the holiday, you will also see many styles of bats, spiders and spider webs. Pumpkins, skulls and various fictional characters are also used in these fun holiday themes. From simple cat’s eyes to complex glow-in-the-dark designs, you are sure to find plenty of designs to make.
Holiday celebrations provide the opportunity for people to let loose and have some fun. This should include the way you decorate your nails. Though you should always make sure the designs are appropriate for your destination, you can enjoy the creative freedom that comes with learning how to decorate your nails for the holidays.
