For December nails, you can play with festive themes, cool winter colors, and lots of sparkle. According to nail artists, chrome effects continue to be the number one choice. Below, find 22 ideas for the last month of the year.
During December, you can go for festive motifs with plaid, ribbon, winter inspiration, or just lots of sparkle. The overall look? Festive and full of atmosphere.
Nail artists predict ribbon, silver and gold details, French tips , and icy chrome effects as the season's strongest trends.

Mix the seasonal motif, checkered, with ribbon for an elegant manicure. The dark cherry gives the design a less “Christmassy” feel than the classic red and green.
02 / Silver with emerald
With multiple layers: red base, then a magnetic effect layer and finally transparent red glitter for the look of those "glass" nails.
03 / French micro tips in silver color
A very thin line in silver, gold or rose gold on a natural base: delicate, minimalist and perfect for parties.
04 / Ombre with icy shine
A frozen look with a magnetic effect that looks elegant, modern and very wintery.
05 / Red glass
Start with bright red, add a magnetic effect and finish with transparent red glitter for a “glass-like” look.
06 / Champagne-blueberry manicure
A neutral palette with a touch of shimmer. The shimmer should only be on one or two fingers for a balanced effect.

Metallic red with glittery French tips , the most "New Year's" look you can imagine.
08 / Neutral snowflake
Peach velvet base and white designs: snowflakes and candy spirals.
