Holiday nail ideas for beginners

Most holiday nail designs come down to the right two or three colors and one simple motif. Try red and green with a single glitter accent, white dots for snow over navy, or a gold shamrock on one nail. If you'd rather browse finished looks before you paint, the holiday nails gallery groups pictures by holiday, and press-on nails are an option when there's no time to paint.
