# Christmas Sweater Nail Designs 'Beautylish' Brings Festive Manicures to the Next Level By Marie | Published 2011-12-26 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festive-manicure References: [beautylish](http://www.beautylish.com/f/izvpru) & [beautylish](http://www.beautylish.com) Just in time for the holidays, 'Beautylish' contributor Tereska H. brings you an adorably festive manicure inspired by Norwegian Christmas sweaters. While many ladies opt for Santa-ready red lacquers over the holiday season, adding your own personal touch with a festive sweater-inspired design is a great way to show your creativity, and spread even more holiday cheer. While the festive manicure might seem a little intimidating to attempt, the white detailing is much more easily applied using a nail tool, or even a toothpick. If, like me, DIY manicures take a more challenging turn when it comes to your lesser dominant hand, there's no shame in asking for help from a friend. As a lover of [classic Christmas sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-holiday-sweater), I can't wait to try this festive manicure out for myself. Check out Tereska's design, and don't be afraid to try out a variety of colors and patterns on your own nails. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Festive Manicures:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop beauty products and tools aimed at making DIY festive nail art more accessible and user-friendly. - **Personalized Nail Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create personalized, on-demand nail art services that cater to customers' individual tastes and preferences. - **Nail Art Tutorials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop user-friendly video tutorials and apps to help DIY enthusiasts create their own festive nail art designs at home. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Rethink product and service offerings to capture the growing demand for customized nail art and manicure experiences. - **E-commerce and Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create online marketplaces or in-store experiences that offer a wide selection of festive nail art products and tools, and provide engaging, immersive experiences for customers. - **Education and Training:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer online classes or certification programs that teach nail art techniques and help individuals start their own businesses in this niche area of the beauty industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Festively Seasonal Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sally-hansen-once-upon-a-holiday-collection.md) - [Holiday-Ready Reusable Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facile-nail.md) - [Supermarket-Inspired Nail Art Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festival-inspired-nail-art.md) - [Ugly Christmas Sweater-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugly-sweater-dunk.md) - [Holiday Cabin Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lights-lacquer-cabin-fever.md) - [DIY Embroidery Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-stitched-ornament-kits.md) - [Understated Festive Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christina-fair-isle-cardigan.md) - [Wine-Themed Holiday Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matching-holiday-sweater.md) - [Color-In Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipzy.md)
