With Christmas only 30 days away (eek!), it’s time to get festive. A Christmas tree is great, but holiday-themed nails are even better. This season’s fave? Candy cane nails.
With a bold red and white colour combo – both of which are firmly on the moodboard for winter nails – the sweet interpretation reimagined as a manicure is a no-brainer as Christmas rolls around. It’s bolder than snowflake nails and hotter than eggnog nails – though both are also great choices for this time of year.
A versatile style, you can opt for classic candy cane details as the cherry on top of your manicure or deconstruct the recognisable colours and pattern to reinterpret the candy cane as cute Frenchies, shiny cat-eye stripes or classic red and white nails.
Wondering what candy cane nails are best for you? Don’t wait until Christmas, keep scrolling to see our faves and get inspiration before your next nail appointment.
Candy cane nails
All the candy cane you could want in a single manicure. Red and white stripes, candy cane Frenchies and mini candy canes on one nail to top it all off.
Double candy cane Frenchies
More on the minimal side, we love how the candy cane colours outline the French tips on this manicure. Super easy to do, take a dotting tool and stamp your colours out.
3D candy cane nails
3D candy canes shaped like hearts and bows that are literally popping off the nail, can it get any sweeter than that?
