Classic Black and White Christmas Designs
If you’re looking to give your classic holiday nails a special twist, you can stick to your usual designs, just change your color palette to include black and white!
You can also explore all kinds of timeless designs, such as black and white candy cane stripes to make an old Christmas favorite look stunning, edgy, and different.
White snowflakes on a black background are another mesmerizing design.
Combine them with polka dots for a uniquely festive look.
Monochromatic Elegance for the Holidays
The elegance of this monochromatic color scheme will tide you through all the festivities.
But monochrome doesn’t have to mean boring.
In fact, you can use matte and glossy finishes together to create mesmerizing and unique designs!
Think of a matte white background with a glossy design to give the finish some depth.
Incorporating a single accent nail with a more intricate design will be more impactful and eye-catching.
Incorporating Holiday Elements
You may think that two colors can be limiting for holiday nails, but that just isn’t true.
The possibilities are endless if you know how to incorporate holiday elements into your black-and-white Christmas nails!
Holly leaves and berries, reindeer silhouettes, holiday sweater patterns, and even snowmen make great holiday elements that you can create with your black-and-white palette.
French Tips With a Twist
Gone are the days of boring old French tips.
You can now experiment with incredible designs while adding a unique black-and-white flair to them!
If you’re looking for a touch of glam, add some magic and sprinkle some sparkly glitter to make your French tips pop.
You can also do a reverse French manicure:
- Paint your base color onto your nail. Keep it black if you want to go bold, and white if you’re looking for more elegance. You can also use a nude shade and save the black and white for the design.
- Use the accent color to outline your cuticles, forming a crescent shape. You can also make two thin lines of black and white if your base is nude!
French tips and reverse French manicures are an easy yet effective way to elevate your style for the holiday season.
Black and White Nail Stamping Art
Nail stamps are a fun way to get some incredibly detailed designs on your nails.
Whether you’re looking for abstract holiday-themed patterns, winter wonderland landscapes, or Christmas motifs, there’s all kinds of holiday nail stamps to choose from.
To get your nails stamped, you’ll need a kit with a stamper, a stamping plate, and a scraper.
- Apply a clear base coat and let it dry.
- Apply the base color of your choice and let it dry.
- Coat the design of your choice on the stamping plate with a contrasting colored polish.
- Scrape off the excess polish from the stamping place and lift the design onto the stamper.
- Use a Q-tip to clean off excess nail polish from the stamper.
- Carefully stamp the design onto the nail.
- Allow the stamped layer to dry completely.
- Seal your design with a top coat.
You can use a glossy or matte top coat to get the desired finish!
Glitter Black and White Christmas Nails
There are all kinds of nail glitters available on the market, from fine and powdery, to statement chunky glitter.
You can even create a gradient effect by adding contrasting glitter to your black or white base color and use glitter to create realistic snowflakes!

Use a thin brush to draw snowflakes on with glittery white or silver nail polish.
