Holiday Nail Art Inspo: Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa & New Year’s Eve!

Bring out your nail file and your boxes of nail polish; it’s time to start a party on your hands! If you’ve got a steady hand and are creative, it’s easy to re-create any of the below nail art. And they really are art. Each nail is a miniature painting.

If you’re a tad klutzy like me—I can’t paint between the lines—there’s some awesome nail art that’s really nail wraps. How cool is that!

Read on to check out creativity unleashed.
