15 Holiday Nail Ideas You’ve Never Seen

A Very Rhinestone Christmas

Try this for a much more subtle and classy take on holiday bling.

Get the look:
1. Start with a base coat.
2. Apply two coats of red nail polish to your thumb, two coats of peach to your pointer finger, two coats of brown nail polish to your middle finger and pinkie, and two coats of white nail polish to your ring finger.
3. After these base colors have dried, use nail art pens to add the details. You’ll need white, red, light blue, black, and orange nail art pencils. You can use a toothpick dipped in nail polish if your brush isn’t fine enough.
4. Now it’s time to apply the rhinestones. Many online retailers sell nail art rhinestone wheels that contain multiple colors, like this one from BundleMonster. Some come with a sticky back, while other rhinestone kits require nail glue.
5. If you have sticky-backed rhinestones, use tweezers to remove them from the sheet and apply to the nail. If your rhinestones do not come with adhesive, you’ll need to buy some nail glue, like IBD NailInstant Brush On Glue, $3.49. To use, simply brush on nail glue, and apply rhinestones to your nails with tweezers.
6. Finish with a top coat.
