The Grinch isn't the only thing green this holiday season - green Christmas nail designs are allllll over Pinterest and TikTok right now, and I'm soaking them up (like this one with a festive bow!). And before we go well… green with envy, we've rounded up 10 fabulous picks for a green nail design you'll want to take to the nail salon (or try at home). Let's dig in...
7 Green Christmas Nail Designs...
1. Go Green and Gold
Forget silver and gold, this is the perfect festive look for a festive season. Elly created this by layering a rich green velvet with gold stars, and topping with a glossy top coat. I'm a big fan of almond-shaped nails and think it's the perfect shape for this look.
2. Or something in a Magical Matte
Christi - aka Polished in Portland - brought this beautiful look to life. Each nail has a different design from the cable knit to a little festive green sprig with bow. I also love seeing short Christmas nails represented here - bc us moms don't always have time to maintain a shape much longer, especially in the busy holiday season! This look offers a little touch of holiday cheer without being over the top.
3. Love a Mismatch Mani
Here's another example of slightly mismatched nails that together, feel like cohesive Christmas cheer. I'm obsessed with the mini Christmas tree design on the ring finger (that if too intricate, could almost be replicated with nail stickers?), and plain green nail polish to breakup the busy designs in the middle.
4. Green is Just a Detail
If you're not feeling a full green nail look, how about green nail art designs instead? The holly and berries give off a winter wonderland feel with a festive twist. The crystal in the gold stars offers the perfect touch of glam too. I might show these to my nail tech next!

5. Go for Green French Tips
And maybe add a little shimmer across the entire nail from there? Love these green French tips from pop_polished on IG - without the sparkle they're a subtle nod to the Christmas season; with they're an upscale take on a standard French manicure. We're big fans.
6. Another Take on Green and Gold
Santa Claus is coming to town, and so is this gorgeous green manicure with gold foil accents. Love that this look isn't limited to long nails and would look good on any nail shape too. According to a few different nail artists we asked, this look is really surging this Christmas season.
7. A Cat Eye That Catches Your Eye
Admittedly, we're borderline obsessed with the modern press-on nail, and these cat eye gel polish dupes from Olive and June are no different. The green polish just hits in a different way, and so does the low pricepoint of $10. Best part? These easily last 7-10 days, and look like the perfect touch of elegance for the holidays. Buy these now at Target.
