50+ Ideas for Red And Silver Christmas Nails
These red and silver Christmas nails are so gorgeous that Mrs. Claus herself will want to wear them!
Classic Elegance: Red and Silver Glitter
For some people, Christmas is all about being refined and sophisticated.
They’re the type of people who want their houses to look like they came out of a Christmas magazine, and they want the absolute *best* Christmas dress for family photos.
And you know what? There’s nothing wrong with that!
If this sounds like you, then you’re definitely going to want to dip your nails into red and silver glittery.
Glittery red and silver Christmas nails are undeniably timeless and charming.
Just make sure you apply a high-quality top coat on top of the sparkles.
This will help the glitter to last longer and make it shinier. It’s a win-win!
Festive French Tips
French manicures are undeniably popular, and they have been since their debut in 1975.
But why settle for “regular” French manis when you can add a festive twist with red and silver accents?
Add red to your nail bed with silver tips or vice versa.
Or, opt for a classic manicure with red tips and a silver accent nail. There are endless possibilities!
Oval and rounded French tips tend to be the favorite for Christmas shenanigans.
Snowflakes and Sparkles
Does Christmas mean winter wonderland in your eyes?
Then I have the style for you, queen!
Enter – snowflake and sparkle nail designs.
Basically, it’s like adding the glory of a winter flurry right to your nails.
Talk about enchanting and beautiful – almost like your Queen Elsa from Frozen!
Santa’s Helpers: Red and Silver Reindeer Nails
OK, but let’s be honest. Is there anything cuter than Santa’s reindeer? Probably not.
If you’re obsessed with reindeer, like 99% of the rest of the population, then I invite you to add adorable reindeer nail art to your manicure.
Trust me, you’re going to want to take snapshots of these playful and festive nails and post them all across social media.
Red and Silver Ombre Magic
Ever since ombre came onto the scene, we haven’t gotten enough of it.
Naturally, I had to add red and silver Christmas nails featuring the ombre effect to my list.
Red and silver nails with an ombre effect are undoubtedly stunning.
You can go with a bold blend from red to silver, or you can add a gradient effect to make it more subtle yet eye-catching.
Glitzy Christmas Trees
If there is one staple of Christmas time, it’s the Christmas tree – behind Santa, of course. Don’t think we’ve forgotten about you, jolly guy!
Needless to say, adding miniature Christmas designs to your nails using red and silver is a definite win.
Keep it simple, or make the Christmas tree glitzy to really stand out – just like your sparkly Christmas tree in the living room. Such a cute and fun idea!
Holiday Presents: Gift-Wrapped Nails
You’re a gift to the world, queen.
But most people don’t want to hear about it 24/7. Luckily, Christmas is a time when you can actually *be* a gift and nobody can say boo!
How do you do this?
It’s pretty simple – all you need to do is opt for beautifully decorated nails that look like teeny-tiny presents.
The best way to do this is to add bow detailing to your nail bed with dangling strings.
Essentially, you will recreate the image of the top of a gift-wrapped box on your nails.
Pretty extravagant and unique, wouldn’t you say?
Festive Nail Stamping
Not everyone would consider themselves experts in creating whimsical holiday patterns on their nails.
Thankfully, there are stamping plates that can be used to add intricate red and silver holiday patterns directly onto your nail bed.
Here are some must-know tips for stamping:
- Get your materials gathered first. You’ll need a base coat, top coat, polishes, and, of course, your stamping kit.
- Always start with a base coat. A base coat will help your polish and patterns adhere and last much longer.
- Apply a thin layer of polish. Then, add your preferred nail color polish. Go with thinner layers rather than thick, clumpy layers.
- Make sure the nails are 100% dry. If you try to apply stamps to wet polish, you’ll end up with a huge mess. Use a nail dryer to speed up the drying time.
- Work fast with the stamper. To use a stamper, you’ll have to apply polish, scrape off the excess, and use the stamper to grab the design. If you move too slowly, the polish might start drying, leaving you with no design.
- Finish with a top coat. Like the base coat, a top coat will protect your nail designs and help them last longer. They will also appear shinier and more glamorous, too.
Conclusion
There are so many gorgeous red and silver Christmas nails to choose from; they’re also designed to bring in the holiday cheer.
Whether you keep things simple with a classic elegant red and silver combo or prefer a more playful piece like snowflakes or reindeer, you will surely find a glamorous red and silver Christmas combo you adore.
