Everyone knows that the holidays are the season of entertaining and travel, but despite all the delightful festivities, we all want to look our best. Since we all have different habits and preferences for nail color, there’s not one comprehensive guide to nail art to follow, but some brilliant ideas popped up on Instagram. Some nail ladies and gals opt for a bold glitter, polka-dot print, or even a fun midnight blues, which can look amazing for you and your home’s seasonal decor!
This week, a complete how-to and comprehensive nail gameplan, including white and grey, proved that it’s possible to go bold and still bring out the best nail looks without the extra costs and need for travel.
Springy Nails
It’s all about bright and bold shades of blue for spring, and this kind of nail design is perfect for the rainy season! On Instagram, a number of nail artists have tried this exact style. To try it, you need, pewter nails, barely-there accent colors on the nail tips, and deep blue paint. To make this look extra cheery, play with glitter as well! At the end of the season, slip the nails in a white polish. You can play with heights as well: at 1 mm and above, the color needs to be a true blue.
White Nails
On Instagram, a number of nail artists have tried a similar look. White and gray is perfect for lazy days, so this look is suitable. To prepare the nails, you need to apply an even amount of polish with bare hands. Next, polish the base coat and apply a clear top coat. In this style, apply a top coat on top of the top coat, so that the polish will stay soft on your fingers. Paired with a subtle polka dot, your nails look elegant and chic. You can also try this trend with green-grey tips!
Cinnamon Nails
Cinnamon may not be as flashy as blue, but its intense color complements the holidays’ colors just perfectly. To create this trend, you will have to use about 2 rounds of white polish, 2 rounds of black polish, and 2 rounds of glitter. Soak the tips of your fingers in white polish for an hour and then pat white polka dot and dark grey polish onto the tips. For both white and grey, apply the same top coat! Next, take the polish out and use a few extra sparkly Polish Boosts. (You can add different colors on each nail.) Top off the polish with a coat of clear polish to make the effortless look extra fun.
Light Yellow Nails
Nail artist Miriam Tan Le published an Instagram post in July showing how to paint a line of yellow on the tips of your nails. Perfectly showcasing how yellow nails can go with or against any theme, these nails look adorable. Darken the color with glitter. You can also take on this trend in a bold way, as shown below by Raynini Chosa.
Bold Blue Nails
If you want to go classic, a bright blue nail can be the perfect way to go with the seasonal nail trend. You’ll need a mix of big pink and big black polish to achieve the perfect look. To get this style, paint this color in the center of your nails with a thin brush. Now, pour in the black polish, followed by some more pink. Once finished, pin together the nails with a few white polka dots. Lastly, wait for a few days and clean your nails with white polish before applying more polish!

The Blue Tip
If you’re not a fan of going with more intricate designs, don’t stress! You can take a cue from the nail designer Erica Kirk for an elegant twist on the trend. Kirk inks the tips of the nails with the same color as the top coat. You can even go for a gold tip, if you want to keep it simple. She’s been posting pictures of this look on her Instagram.
