Nail art lovers and people who want to get a little fancy with their nails, listen up. We’re about to make all your nail-art-loving dreams come true with some easy Christmas nail designs. You don’t need any special tools, just a few shades of polish, a steady hand and a bit of patience. These 12 designs are all pretty enough to be your new holiday manicure this season, so take a look and pick the one you like best.

The first nail design is super easy and we love that it uses the glittery reds and greens that are so perfect for holiday season. Black is one of our favorite base colors because it makes every other shade pop.

If you’re not much of an artist, you can use stamps instead of freehanding all your designs. This stamp set will give you holly leaves and berries, Christmas trees, reindeer, candy canes and more!

Red and green nail decorations are great for the holidays because they remind you of garland, wrapping paper and all those other things that go into making the season special.
