It’s that time of year again — time to decide just what sort of festive nails you want to wear this Christmas season.

While it might not seem like such a big deal, it really is. After all, you’re going to be looking at and dealing with these nails for at least two weeks, and arguably the best two weeks of the year. So you better make sure you absolutely love them. 

December is the time to get creative with your nails and opt for something fun and festive. That’s why we’ve rounded up a list of 12 nail designs which are sure to keep your spirits up this Christmas season.

If you’re still in need of some nail inspo, then here it is!
