25 Festive Holiday Manicures

From Sparkling Snowflake Nails to Metallic Chrome Manicures

— December 26, 2014 — Fashion
With New Year's Eve just around the corner, many of us are still indecisive when it comes to our outfit, beauty routine or holiday manicure. This list will take your festive look to another level and features a range of fun and fashion-forward nail art ideas.

Memorable examples from this list include metallic chrome manicures and glitter-infused nail art applications that will put one in the party mood. If you're a fan of standing out, try a reverse manicure and accent the inside of your nail with a jewelled sticker or faux crystal.

For fans of daring and sculptural styles, opt for a spiked or textural nail art look that features metallic flakes or tin foil pieces. Whatever your choice, these holiday manicures will enhance your New Year's look and get people talking.
