3 Festive Holiday Nail Designs You Must Try

Get Ready for the Holiday Season with Stunning Nail Designs

As the leaves turn and the air turns crisp, it’s that magical time of year again – the holiday season! Halloween has come and gone, and now it’s time to prepare our nails for festive celebrations. Bellacures Nail Salon is here to help you impress your clients with three holiday-themed nail designs that are simple yet stunning. Let’s dive into these tutorials and ensure your clients are ready to shine!

1. Under the Mistletoe

Start your holiday nail adventure with the delightful ‘Under the Mistletoe’ design. This look offers a subtle nod to the holiday season while remaining chic and sophisticated.

Step-by-Step Tutorial:

Begin by giving your nails some love with proper cuticle care and file them into a square shape with slightly rounded edges.
Next, choose a stunning metallic wine-red polish for the four fingers without the mistletoe design. Apply two even coats and ensure adequate drying time between each coat. For the remaining two fingers, opt for a cream nude polish that complements your client’s skin tone.
Get creative! Using a dotting tool and the same metallic red polish, place three dots in a triangular shape on the fingers designated for the mistletoe design.
With a thin line brush and a dark green polish, draw two small lines slightly diagonal from the red dots to create the mistletoe leaves. Feather out smaller lines on each to add detail.
For the finishing touch, use the dotting tool again to place a few white dots around the mistletoe for additional flair.
Complete your design with a glossy topcoat and nourishing cuticle oil for maximum shine!

2. Scattered Snowflakes

For clients who adore the winter wonderland theme, the ‘Scattered Snowflakes’ design is perfect to channel the crisp, chilly vibes of the season!

Step-by-Step Tutorial:

Start with the essential nail prep: ensure cuticle care is complete, and file nails into a square shape with seamless edges.
Apply a sheer nude polish as the base coat for your snowflake design, ensuring you achieve an even layer across all nails.
Grab a bright white polish and a dotting tool. Place one dot at the center of where you want the snowflake to begin.
Surround that center dot with additional dots, carefully maintaining a circular pattern.
Using a thin line brush, drag lines from the center dot through each surrounding dot, creating the snowflake shape.
Allow everything to dry, then dap some glitter polish near the center dot to add sparkle.
Seal your stunning design with a shiny topcoat and some cuticle oil for an elegant finish.

3. Santa French Mani

Bring some holiday cheer to your nails with the ‘Santa French Mani.’ This festive twist on the classic French tip will have all your clients feeling jolly!

Step-by-Step Tutorial:

Similar to the previous designs, start by prepping your nails with proper cuticle care and shaping them into squared with rounded edges.
Apply two coats of a sheer pinky nude polish to serve as the base for your Santa-themed tips.
Using a merry and bright red polish, carefully paint the tips of your nails with slow, steady brush strokes for precision.
Ensure a vivid finish by applying a second coat to fill in any spaces and make your tips pop!
For the Santa hat effect on the ring finger, use a thin brush to draw an upside-down triangle from the corner of the nail bed towards the center.
Add texture by dotting cream white polish along the base of the red triangle to create the brim of the hat.
Complete the Santa hat with a white dot at the tip of the triangle.
Finally, finish with a topcoat and some cuticle oil to keep those nails fiercely festive and chip-free!
