With holiday season officially upon us, it’s time to step out with sparkling tips that are perfectly suitable for this time of year. Whether you’re a fan of shimmering shades or simply craving a pop of glitter, look no further than the year’s most festive nail art ideas. We’ve curated a few shimmering manicure looks to embrace this party season.

Adorn your pink tips with dove gray and gold flowers: While the weather may have cooled, there’s nothing wrong with bringing pale pink nail polish into the colder months. Try painting your fingernails with a peachy pink shade, like this Oh Behave! Nail polish by Essie. Meanwhile, the brand’s light grey Go With The Flowy and Getting Groovy shades help to create the look of tiny, intricate florals.

Decorate with gorgeous emerald green: Channelling the colour of the season’s Christmas trees and mistletoe, luscious dark green is the manicure shade du jour. We are loving this Zoya nail look, which incorporates a creamy pigmented Wyatt shade and shimmering Merida colour.

Stick to lush plum tones: For a more subtle take on holiday nails, turn to rich violets and dark plums to complete your nail statement. This Deborah Lippmann manicure features an eggplant Dark Side Of The Moon shade, with thin single stripes of gold for a chic finishing touch.
