43 hottest white Christmas nail designs ever
1. Gift-Wrapped Frenchies
Classic French tips, but with a holiday twist — delicate red ribbons and bows that make your nails look like little presents.

Snowflake nails never fail in December. White frosted flakes on a sheer base look elegant and festive at the same time.
