Green Christmas nails are having a major moment, and honestly, I'm so here for it. Deep forest green, emerald glitter and sage cable knits feel festive without going full red-and-green overload. I rounded up 25 green Christmas nail designs from real nail artists, from short and simple sets to long almond nail art, so you can screenshot your fave before your next appointment.
Holiday nails are my fave part of getting ready for the season. The easier and cuter, the better, and green goes with literally every ugly sweater and party outfit.
