Christmas Nail Colors for the Holiday Season
A simple way to get into the festive spirit is with a new coat of nail polish. I always feel more put together when I have my nails nicely painted. Plus, festive nails are one of my favorite things about the holidays! I love an excuse to wear extra glitter or fun Christmas nail colors (although it doesn’t take much to convince me to glitter anytime during the year!).
Here, I’m sharing some fun festive nail colors, each of which will arrive before Christmas. These Christmas nail colors are from some of my favorite brands and range the color spectrum. I hope you find one you love!
A new holiday polish favorite: Iceland gel polish from DND

For this holiday nail polish guide, I wanted to feature a range of colors, from neutrals to bold, flat color to sparkle. As far as sparkle goes, the Orly Frost Smitten is a great rose gold option. I’m also intrigued by the Butter Champagne Princess though, which looks like it’ll give a great shine.
The holidays always call for rich colors, in my opinion. I typically love a deep forest green (obviously!) or a rich oxblood. When picking colors this year, I found myself drawn to some neutrals and rosy colors when preparing this article. The Essie Berry Naughty in the bottom right of the graphic below is really calling my name.
Top Row: Essie Set in Stones | Essie Cut It Out | Butter Back in a Prosecco (sold out, similar color here) | Orly Frost Smitten (more golden option here)
Bottom Row: OPI Suzi the First Lady of Nails | Butter Royal Emerald (sold out, similar color here) | Essie From A to ZZZ | Essie Berry Naughty
Of course, as a lover of all things green, the Butter Royal Emerald caught my eye. This rich, earthy green is perfect for the holidays, reminiscent of evergreens and Christmas garlands. For a lighter green, OPI’s Suzi the First Lady of Nails is a great option. This is one of my year-round favorites that really suits the winter season.
For a dark-yet-sparkly option, try OPI’s Cave the Way
