This shiny modern manicure uses negative space to its advantage.
It’s like taking a trip to FAO Schwarz right before Christmas.

Gold Foil Edges
Think you’ve seen every possible way to use gold foil?
Think again and feast your eyes on this candy apple red and gold accent set.

We’re all for it.
Use a circle stencil to nail a crisp curve just above the cuticle.
We’re especially loving how elegant the design is on long, oval nails.
@thenailboxxchi
We’d be into this style any time of year, but it works especially well for the holidays.

Gold and Red Stars
Yes, Snoopy and Woodstock also make an appearance on this themed design.
What else would you expect with a holiday-themed manicure?
Honestly, the red and gold outlined stars are just as eye-catching as our favorite Peanuts pets.

Striped Gold
Who said you’re able to’t mix matte and glossy nails?
For the glossy ones, amp up the festivity with shiny vertical gold stripes.
Use tape to get extra straight and crisp lines.
@imarninails
If you want to freehand the stripes, Totty recommends LeChat’s Dual Sided Tool Liner.
Moon and Stars

Ombre the nail with a gold-to-red glitter transition and top with star-themed nail charms.
