Which nails for Christmas 2023?
Are you looking for a festive, modern nail design for Christmas that suits your style and brings you further cheer? But first we have to say that proper, attentive hand care plays a leading role in how the manicure looks in the end. The skin needs extra care, especially in winter, as the low temperatures and cold dry it out. Apply hand cream or oils daily and put on gloves to ensure skin looks well cared for. Only then can you choose the nail designs for Christmas.

Wrapping paper on the nails
We don’t mean it literally. Or? If you like to experiment with the nail designs or want to try something new for this Christmas, then wrapping paper design is the perfect choice. What makes this manicure so trendy for the holidays is its simplicity. Of course, you can have this manicure done in a nail salon or try it yourself at home. Give your creativity complete freedom. If you have little experience with nail art, you can “wrap” just one or two nails in wrapping paper. The design is actually quite simple – paint diagonal lines in red, green, white and/or gold, imitating the design of striped wrapping paper. For clean nail edges, you can use adhesive tape. It can also help make the stripes straighter and more uniform. Finally, fix the design with top coat to make it shiny and long-lasting.
