Treat yourself to festive magic and transform your manicure with these pretty ideas for nude and white Christmas nails!

If you’re not a massive fan of classic holiday colors like green and red, you’re in for a treat – you can achieve the same festive look, without going crazy with a range of colors.

All you need is a pretty festive nail art combined with a neutral or nude nail as the base – if you don’t want to go without a nail polis as your base, beige colors all the way up to the lightest shades of pink look very natural and make your nails look like you’re not wearing any nail polish, and that’s the look we’re going for it.

Thanks to such a pretty neutral background, even the most simple Christmas nail art will look very pretty and elegant on any nail shape – whether you have short nails or coffin nails.

Below is a curated selection of some of the most loved styles from skilled nail artists on Instagram – if you want to see even more ideas from the same nail artist, simply click on their Instagram profile under the image.

8 Most Popular Nude and White Christmas Nails Designs

So what are some of the most popular looks for this unusual color choice for the holidays? The recurring themes we’ve seen are as follows:

  1. Snowflakes – snowflakes are an all-round favorite for the holidays, and with a pretty beige or nude background, they look extra pretty and natural. They really come out so beautifully when you don’t use any color to take attention from them, plus make your nails look like a dreamy snowy landscape.
  2. Mismatched Nails – if you’re not sure what nail art you like the most, you can choose a selection of few and use them in alternating order on all your nails. Check our list here and the ideas below to compile the nail design ideas for your final look.
  3. Sweater Design – sweater nails are not popular just for the holidays, but all winter round. If you do them in white nail polish, they look classic and timeless and will last way beyond the holiday season.
  4. Glitter – there are no holidays without a touch of glitter! If you’re pairing glitter nail polish with nude and white nails, choose a silver shade which pairs perfectly with this style of manicure.
  5. Festive Bow – not sure about snowflakes or other festive nail art? A simple bow will transform your nail in an instant, without looking too overdone, and you’re Christmas nails are still on point.
  6. Swirls – if you like to do your own manicure, simple swirls in a range of styles are the easiest way to achieve this look at home.
  7. French Tips – we love French tips! For this look, you can simply pair them with a few snowflakes to make them more interesting and fitting for the holiday season.
  8. Christmas Tree – a simplified nail art with a Christmas tree is all you need to transform simple nude manicures into holiday season-ready nails.
