Girl It’s time to get your christmas nails done!!! My favorite season is here, y’all!.

I remember as a kid, I used to anticipate Christmas, counting down from six months.

I’d mark the date in my calendar and put a hair bow on the Christmas day spot in anticipation of my favorite season.

And even as an adult, I still do it.

I guess old habits never die.

Aside from me, who else loves Christmas? I’m sure everyone does… unless you’re the Grinch.

If you’re a Christmas lover, get in here! And even if you’re a Grinch fan, you’re welcome too, because I have something special for everybody.

With the Christmas season approaching, I know we’re all preparing—thinking about our hair, clothes, and, of course, nails.

I’m sure we’re all tired of the plain green and red or red and white nails that everybody has been doing forever.

This time, we’re taking Christmas nails to a whole new level!

Now, this doesn’t mean we’re ditching red and green—how could we? They’re literally the Christmas colors! But what if we add some amazing designs and make it more fun?

Today, we’re going to look at 40 amazing Christmas nail designs.

Girl, these nails are fire! I’m telling you, you’re not ready—we’re going to slay Christmas like never before.
