The season is upon us: you know the one. Everyone goes nuts, embraces capitalism full-force, and makes loads of baked goods. In the spirit of the holiday season, why not paint your nails with some of the best Christmas nail colors for 2022?

Sure, there are always reds and greens, some of which we’ve included on this list. But there are other ways to get creative with your manicure during this time of year, like with sparkly blacks, neutral tones, and holographic purples.

It’s hard to get festive without a tree though, so strap on your hiking boots and get after it. After the polish dries, of course.
Christmas Nail Colors

 

The Best Christmas Nail Colors for 2022

1. OPI Nail Lacquer in Big Apple Red

Okay we know we said we’d include some more creative Christmas colors on this list, but it’s so hard to not start with a quintessential Christmas red. It reminds us of Santa’s suit, poinsettias, and all those candy canes we stashed away at the end of the season last year. BRB.
Available on Amazon

2. Pacifica Plant Magic Polish in Fluff it Up, $10.00

This shimmery color brings to mind tinsel on trees and icy sidewalks. Follow that up with a bruised hip and an even more bruised ego, and you’ve got yourself a winter wonderland.
Available on Ulta

3. Essie Nail Polish Glossy Finish in 33 Off Tropic

You’re reading an article about Christmas nail colors. Did you expect us to leave out forest green? Match with your tree in this deep, rich shade. Put an evergreen-scented candle in your pocket and wait for the ornaments to start rolling in.
Available on Amazon

4. Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Sturdy Sapphire

Elvis is trending. Or at least Austin Butler was. Either way, embrace it with this blue Christmas look. You might as well tag Austin in the Instagram post. Shoot your shot, right?
Available on Amazon
Christmas Nail Colors - Sapphire Iridescent Nail Color (Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Sturdy Sapphire)

 

5. Nails, Inc. Holler-Graphic Nail Polish in Get Out of my Space, $15

This sparkly purple polish feels even more festive than we are. And we put those reindeer antlers on our car this year, so that’s saying a lot.
Available on Sephora
Christmas Nail Colors - Lilac Purple Metallic Color (Nails, Inc. Holler-Graphic Nail Polish in Get Out of my Space)

 

6. OPI Nail Lacquer in Turn Bright After Sunset

Black might feel like a bold choice for Christmas, but for those of us who wear black all year long, it’s borderline basic.

The glitter adds just enough magic to make it work for the holidays. Plus, it makes for a perfect New Year’s Eve manicure. That’s innovation, baby.
Available on Amazon
Christmas Nail Colors - Sparkly Black Nail Polish (OPI Nail Lacquer in Turn Bright After Sunset)

 

7. Gel Lab Pro Nail Polish in I’m Too Sexy, $20

A simple neutral nail color is a safe bet any day of the year. Everything minimal is in style these days. So go with this light shade, and you won’t have to worry about your Gen Z cousin telling you you’re cheugy for wearing red and green.
Available on Sephora
Christmas Nail Colors - Sandy Nude Gel Polish (Gel Lab Pro Nail Polish in I'm Too Sexy)

 

8. ZOYA Pixie Dust Nail Polish in Oswin Ultra

Plain red is so basic. Go full-on ruby red slippers with this chunky glitter polish from ZOYA. The formula is free of lots of harmful chemicals that some other nail polishes use, so you can treat your body like the temple it is. Can we offer you a third slice of pie?
Available on Amazon
Christmas Nail Colors - Deep Red Glitter Nail Color (ZOYA Pixie Dust Nail Polish in Oswin Ultra)

 

9. Lakur Enhanced Colour Nail Lacquer in Kissed by Rose Gold, $16

Why choose between gold and silver when you can go for the color in between? That’s our philosophy on deciding between dessert options, too.
Available on Ulta
Christmas Nail Colors - Rose Gold Shimmer Color (Lakur Enhanced Colour Nail Lacquer in Kissed by Rose Gold)

 

10. OPI Nail Lacquer Nail Polish in Angels Flight to Starry Nights, $10.79

This color stopped us in our tracks, and not just because we’re hiding from our roommate. It looks like the polar lights. We’ve never felt so close to Santa.
Available on Ulta
Christmas Nail Colors - Shimmery Blue-Green (OPI Nail Lacquer Nail Polish in Angels Flight to Starry Nights)

 

11. Gelike Gel Nail Polish in Glitter Green

Green, but make it full glam. If only the Grinch had thought that way, he never would have stolen Christmas. Embrace your fur, Grinch!
Available on Amazon
Christmas Nail Colors - Reflective Sparkly Green Color (Gelike Gel Nail Polish in Glitter Green)

 

12. Essie Expressie Vegan Nail Polish in Don’t Hate, Curate

Golden yellow is a sunny color that pairs well with reds and greens. Use this one on an accent nail or for the whole set this holiday season. They’ll contrast nicely as you tear into all your presents. Exactly what we asked for on our list? You shouldn’t have.
Available on Amazon
Christmas Nail Colors - Golden Yellow Polish (Essie Expressie Vegan Nail Polish in Don't Hate, Curate)

 

13. Heroine.NYC Nail Lacquer in Silver Linings

Silver and gold, silver and gold. You know the song. And the colors, most likely. Now you know the nail polish options, too. Isn’t learning fun?
Available on Amazon
