With the holiday shopping frenzy, we often forget to take care of ourselves, and yes, doing your nails does count as self-care. All we do this season is run, wrap presents, schedule last-minute dentist appointments, and even go traveling.
So, it may look like we don’t have enough time to take care of something as simple as our nails, but these designs are just right for the on-the-go badass mom, student, businesswoman, acrylic-nail or short-nail kind of gal. If you’re looking for simple designs that still look like Santa stepped on your nails, keep scrolling.

Cozy Sweater
This has to be the favorite of the season because nothing beats the warmth of a cozy knitted sweater, and let’s be honest, they’re the only item you need to complete a winter outfit. Maybe your nails won’t be as cozy, but it sure looks amazing.
The Cutest Reindeer
If you are not a Santa fan, you could add this little friend on an accent nail. Just look at those mini-antlers and big ol’ red nose.
Santa Hats
It doesn’t have to be hats; you can change it up with bells, snowflakes, or even little stockings, and girl, add a matte coat on top, and you are good to go.
Classic Mistletoe and Candy Cane
Of course, we didn’t forget the classics: mistletoe and candy cane are some of the most iconic Christmas symbols, and sometimes all we need is go back to basics. Adding color on top of a clear coat on your nail could be the perfect touch.
Glitter Mint Candy
Do you remember those sweets that your grandma always had lying around in her house? Do one on your thumb and add some glitter or holo powder for a trendy touch.
3D Snowflake
Last but not least, a perfect, textured snowflake. Just look at that texture! It looks like real snow. You can add it to an accent nail, and it would be the perfect complement for an animal print dress.
These nail designs might look complicated but are as simple and fun as a Christmas carol. We loved doing these and hope you liked them too. If you try some of these designs, tag us on Instagram so we can check it out. From everyone at Cultura Colectiva, we hope you have an amazing holiday season.
