This freestyle candy-inspired swirl design looks just as good in any festive colour combination. Focus the pattern on the tips for a more modern look.

Coffin-shaped “ballerina” nails pair perfectly with holiday plaid. We love how something as subtle as adding a matte top coat on alternate fingers really takes the look to the next level.

A hint of sparkle goes a long way in a festive mani. Pick a muted base colour like grey, and weave in jewel-tone stripes and rhinestones. If you’re going the DIY route: Use nail stickers, then tack on a few crystals and studs – and you’re good to go.

Popularised by style icon Hailey Bieber, this pearly chrome style is a subtle way to elevate neutral nails. Up the ante of a glazed mani with pearl embellishments of varying sizes and flecks of rose gold foil.

Drawing inspiration from fireworks in the night sky, black, blue, purple and green blend perfectly to create a cat-eye mani that’s out of this world. To get the look, opt for magnetic cateye polishes, and use magnets of varying shapes to create different finishes. Add a smattering of white dots to mimic stars, and swirls to amp up the cosmic vibes.
