When I used to think of nail art, I pictured really extravagant, colourful designs that wouldn’t look out of place in an art gallery. However, in recent years, some of my favourite nail artists have started to favour a more minimalist approach, making nail art a lot more wearable for those of you who prefer a slightly paired-back manicure. Although I love having fun with my nails and doing something different every now and again, I am definitely a fan of these more minimal styles, especially when it comes to Christmas. You see, I tend to go all out with my outfits and wear as many fun, festive colours and sequins as I can, so I like my nails to compliment my look, rather than take away from it. Because of this, I’ve made it my mission to find some of the most elevated Christmas nail designs to take to the salon this December, and trust me when I say that they will not disappoint.
I’ve spent hours on Instagram scrolling through my favourite accounts, and I’ve found some seriously chic manicures to recreate this festive season. From monochrome designs to glittery French tips and elegant Christmas tree nail art, there are so many incredible options that I’m struggling to decide which one to go for. If you’re also after a bit of inspiration for your next appointment before the big day, then I highly recommend checking out the designs below…
