But one holiday hero that we think surprisingly flies under the radar is holly.

Holly Mismatch

Those holiday icons that we mentioned?

They, alongside the holly, make the perfect Christmas pairing.

This mani features different types of winter greenery, snowflakes, and a gorgeous kelly green base.

A look that’s warmer than a glass of steaming eggnog and brighter than your favorite ornament.

However, adding tiny holly leaves takes them to the next level.

Sweet Treat

We’ll take a figgy pudding to go, like!

And don’t forget to add a frosted holly berry on top to garnish the kitschy-cute treat.

Holiday Halfsies

Who says the holly nail trend has to be taken literally?

It’s sure to be the talking point of every holiday party you go to this season.

Here, the leaves and berries tie in the colors of the plaid and chrome red French.

Add a teeny tiny holly (or two) to bring the look home for the holidays.

We love how the holly leaves and berries border a single accent nail, forming a wreath-like shape.

This nail set fits neatly into that “anything goes” aesthetic.
