This festive Christmas manicure features deep red glitter polish as the base, evoking holiday cheer. Delicate white pine tree branches and tiny snowflake accents add a wintry touch, with sparkling texture for extra glamour. Perfect for seasonal celebrations, it combines elegance and sparkle in a sophisticated winter wonderland design.
Here are some festive variations on the red glitter base manicure, keeping the sparkling ruby red foundation while switching up the accents for different holiday vibes:
Classic white snowflakes scattered over deep red glitter for a snowy, elegant look.
Delicate evergreen branches or Christmas trees in white for a frosted forest feel.
Prep and Base Apply a base coat to protect nails. Then add 1-2 coats of sheer pink or nude polish for a natural look. Let dry fully.
Create the Tips Alternate red and green glitter tips: Use French tip guides (or tape) for clean lines. Paint the tip of each nail with red glitter on some, green on others (e.g., alternate fingers). Or do red on all and green accents. Remove guides carefully while wet.
Add Holiday Accents (Optional) For extra cheer: Use a thin brush to add small white dots (snow) or holly leaves/berries on one or two accent nails. Dot red for berries, green lines for leaves.
Finish Apply a thick glossy top coat to seal and add shine. Let dry completely.
This beginner-friendly design lasts 7-10 days and screams holiday spirit! For a red-and-white version, swap green for white or silver glitter.
