Red and white Christmas nails

I’m Cora, the beauty and skincare editor at Revivalist Magazine. In my expert opinion, expressing yourself through nail art is the perfect way to embrace your personality And the holiday season! In addition, a festive manicure is the perfect accessory for any holiday outfit.

Traditional Christmas colors are red and green and white (see white Christmas nails here)sometimes with silver and gold for nice accents. While you can’t go wrong with any of these color combinations, red and white designs are perfect for a stylish look.

See my curated list of red and white Christmas nail picks below!

Red gift wrapping and French tips

I love the simplicity of these red and white Christmas nails with a milky white base and red French tips. The gift-wrapped bow accent nail is so dainty and simple, and the glitter feature is the icing on the cake!

To achieve this look, start with a milky white coat and then add the French tips in red. With a clear line under each point, dip in gold glitter powder. Add the bow accent detail and finish with a glossy top coat.

Red thick glitter nails

Chunky glitter makes a statement on these red and white Christmas nails and I love the two accent nails to break up all the red. The white accent nail has a finer glitter and the candy cane accent nail is the perfect ode to Christmas in my opinion!

Small Santa hat nails

Who doesn’t love the story of Santa Claus at Christmas? These little Santa inspired nails are cute yet subtle with the perfect touch of Christmas magic.

To achieve this look, use a deep red glitter and create French Tips with a little ponytail at the end. Then outline the points with white dots and place a dot on the tip of the tail. You will create the image of little Santa hats that everyone will love.

Santa inspired nails

Alternate red and white polish on your nail beds to create this Santa-inspired style that will work all month long in December. It’s a great minimalist look that sets the stage for statement rings or a patterned sweater.

Geometric lines and snowflakes

I love red glitter during the holidays!

Achieve this look by using nail tape to mark where you want your red glitter polish to create sharp edges. A thin-tipped brush completes the look by drawing gorgeous white snowflakes on your accent nails.

Mix and match Christmas details

In my opinion, the best nail art designs always include more customizable options to suit each person’s unique style.

Recreate this look with a red or white nail polish base on each nail. You can decorate them with different Christmas motifs that give you the most festive feeling, such as stars, Christmas trees or wrapping paper designs.

Gift wrapping nails

Transform your nails into a gift for yourself with this iconic look that is my favorite on the list. A glossy red base coat will dazzle everyone in your Instagram photos, especially with a glittering white bow on your ring fingers.

You can even replace the white paint with a white bow sticker if you have thin tweezers to apply it gently without creating bubbles.

Candy cane nails

Christmas wouldn’t be the same without candy canes, am I right? They are perfect as decoration, dessert and even as nail art.

This style is ideal for minimalists who want to celebrate the holidays by turning their nails into their favorite Christmas treat.

To achieve this look, create a line down the center of the nail with chrome red nail polish and lay it over the diagonal white lines, then dip them in white glitter powder.

Sparkly red with white snowflakes

Invite the magic of Christmas into your style by alternating sparkling red polish with white snowflakes.

The fine glitter makes your nails look chic and elevated. I mean, matching your nails to your favorite chunky Christmas sweater could be just what you need!

Trendy red and white spots

The lava lamp-inspired bubbles in this retro nail design are a clever nod to holidays past, and I’m all about it! The 60s and 70s were all about lounging with friends in a stylish coffee table.

Conjure up that feeling with this trendy design for your next Christmas party.

Silvery snowflakes and red points

Winter means embracing the soft snowflakes falling outside your window. They are essential for any winter holiday atmosphere, especially on your nails.

To achieve this look, coat your nail beds with matte red or clear polish, then use a sparkling white bottle to draw snowflakes that catch the light.

Wine Red Sparkle Nails

People often decorate with bright red hues at Christmas, but that’s not the only color option. I love burgundy, maroon and wine tones this time of year.

Select one of these dark red gel polishes for your next look. It is easy to apply and dries quickly in a gel toning machine. Draw snowflakes with fine points along your cuticles to complete this dazzling hairstyle.

Small polka dot nails

I recommend this design for beginning nail artists at home because it is simple. To achieve the look, apply red gel polish to each finger, let it dry and brush your ring fingers with small white dots to create a shiny effect.

Crescent Coins

If you’re tired of nail art designs that take over the entire nail bed, this could be your next favorite style.

Create red and white Christmas nails that are festive and stylish by painting crescent-shaped mints on your cuticles with a thin-tipped brush. How cute!

A clear top coat ensures they stay in place so they last through your seasonal plans.

Sparkly Santa Nails

Change your look by filing your nails into square points with slightly rounded edges. They are perfect for replicating Santa’s beard.

Recreate this design with bold, sparkling red and pearl white paint colors. The white and red form Santa’s face on your ring fingers, while the red covers your other nails and catches the light.

Mirrored Red Swoop Nails

I can confirm that minimalists can wear this Christmas nail design without compromising their style!

To achieve this look, apply nail tape and create smooth lines from the top corner of your nail bed to the opposite corner of the tip. A thin white line contrasting it creates a layered look that even looks great with an accent snowflake.

Snowflake and stripe nails

This red and white look makes your nails more festive with a white snowflake and sharp lines that bring back memories of bite-sized mints and wrapping paper. In my opinion, this design is absolutely perfect for a snowy Christmas season!

Christmas design nails

If you can’t decide on just one nail style, choose all of them. I love how this manicure has each nail with a red or white Christmas-inspired design, such as a sweater nail, candy cane nail, snowflake nail, and icy icicles.

French tips and a Christmas tree

Anyone who likes to decorate their Christmas tree will love this look in my opinion. It involves painting a red Christmas tree with white ornaments and garlands on your ring fingers.

Create white French tips on your remaining nails to complete the style.

Red shades and white tips

Two colors contain many shades. Take advantage of the red boldness you want in your Christmas nail art by using a dark shade as your French tips.

White tips complete the look of your ring fingers, especially with a red bow on your cuticles. Then outline the bows with white stripes to make them subtle but still maintain depth.

Christmas Sprinkle Edge Nails

I don’t think the holidays would be the same without desserts. Show off your love for festive cookies by adding sprinkles to your nails.

This look is great for beginners because anyone can use Christmas colors to create polka dot borders around their nails. Use a dotting tool to match their size and your nails will look like cookies in no time.

Snowflakes and metallic red nails

Add a little couture to your style this December by painting a metallic red polish over your nails. They create the appearance of torn cellophane wrapping paper when you carefully scratch the dried edges to make it look torn.

Cover each fingernail with a delicate white snowflake to wear dazzling nail art to your next Christmas party.

Christmas sweater pattern nails

There’s nothing better than wearing your favorite cozy sweaters during the holidays. So why not celebrate your seasonal knit collection with your next nail style?

Wear a festive Christmas pattern on your fingernails with classic geometric patterns and symbols like hearts, reindeer and snowflakes. Use this photo as inspiration when you’re ready to sit down and create detailed art on your nails.

Minimalist red and white striped nails

I love this red and white stripe design! It’s perfect if you want to feel festive in a more subtle way.

The simple color combination matches any seasonal outfit you wear. And because they don’t contain glitter or Christmas doodles, you can keep them after the holidays without looking unprofessional or outdated.

Red glitter and white almond tips

Finally, add a little glitz and glamor to your holidays with glitter nails with almond tips. The curved red tips look like you’ve dipped your fingers in the Christmas spirit.

To achieve this look, choose a dark red polish that shimmers and finish with thin white lines within each stripe. The stunning effect makes any outfit a little chicer, while still keeping with your holiday theme.
