“I do my hair toss, check my nails”— only to realise that I need an appointment at my nearest nail bar pronto (facts). Well, the festive fever might be upon us — the beloved holiday cups returning at my favourite cafe serving as the harbinger of cheer and merriment (it's the little things)! But my nails have a different story to tell. Clipped short, drab and dreary, they reflect the humdrum of everyday life and could use some colour or embellishments (more my speed) to capture the celebratory mood.
And so, in pursuit of some festive nail inspiration, I delved into the world of Instagram and am super stoked to announce that I was triumphant. Soon, a gazillion nail art ideas were swimming me up on my feed, sending my brain into a tizzy. All I had to do was carefully sift through these gorgeous designs to find the perfect match which would embody my holiday alter ego. Yes, not to toot my own horn, but holiday me is a hoot and a half.
But enough about me! If you are looking for some manicure ideas ahead of the holiday season, here is a list of my favourite designs (from varying Instagram creators) that you can bookmark for your salon appointment! Feel free to recreate, reimagine and put your own spin on these ideas to indulge your whimsies.
