Mocha Brown 

Draw a little inspiration from your favorite holiday flavor with a warm mocha mani. OPI Nail Lacquer ($11) in the shade Squeaker of the House is the perfect chocolaty shade. We’re loving the major hot cocoa vibes.

Almost Black

This holiday season, try a twist on the classic black nail by opting for an “almost black” shade. OPI Nail Lacquer ($11) in the shade Lincoln Park After Dark has undertones of purple and red that are perfect for the holidays.

Barely There Metallics

A simple metallic design over plain nails makes for the easiest mani ever. Try using the Sally Hansen I Heart Nail Art Pen ($6) in silver to draw dainty lines on your nails. Finish it off with a clear top coat for added shine.

Pearly Nude

Nude nails are a classic no matter what time of year. For a festive twist, try a shade with a bit of pearly sheen. Butter London Patent Shine 10x Nail Lacquer ($18) in the shade Lemon Drop is the perfect pearly finish with a slight amount of color. This makes classic nails with a subtle twist.

Winter White

I love white nails in the summertime, but they’re also perfectly festive for winter holidays too! Try Essie’s All Daisy Long ($9) for a beautiful, wintery mani.
