10. Candy cane Christmas nails
There can’t be a post on red nail ideas without a Christmas candy cane-inspired look! Add a snowflake design on one of the nails for some added festivity!
11. French mani
Although the first french manicure has the wow factor, some prefer a simpler nail look, and we get that! This french manicure with a red glitter tip is the ideal way to have a simple nail look that doesn’t kill all the fun!
Check out a french mani in monochrome!
12. Burgundy shimmer
For a more subtle take on the classic red nails, go for a few shades darker with this rich, sultry burgundy color! It still falls into the red category, yet is slightly more humble in shade, which we know some of our readers prefer:)
13. Dripping in blood
When you think of red nails, is your first thought Christmas nails or Halloween ones? They overlap somewhere and these nails are proof of that.
Called blood nails, but since they’re lacking the gore, they can be festive nails too. Simply add some glitter and sparkle and you’ve got yourself an edgy nail design!
14. Let it snow
If you live in the UK, chances are you won’t get snow on Christmas which is what happens pretty much every year.
But, don’t let that dishearten you, instead, bring the snow to your nails with this cute french manicure that features red glittery nail polish with beautiful nail art snowflakes!
15. Metallic cuffs
Go for a classic red nail and spruce it up a bit with a metallic silver cuff. Sometimes less is more and this nail design is proof of that!
