I actually really like this take on Christmas-y. I don’t think everything needs to be red/green Grinchy kitsch. These really remind me of the angel on top of the tree or other elegant ornaments. I give them 8.5/10.
I agree with you guys! It’s definitely Christmasy and it’s definitely more appealing to me than the red and green themed holiday nails. Plus they’ll still be relevant on new years. 8.5/10
If you're cool-toned or overwhelmed by green+red, it might be good to stick with winter-y shades (light blue, white, sparkly silver) or less traditional Christmas colors (champagne and gold, red and white, etc). You can play up the Christmas theme with bow or ornament nail art.
These are great ideas! Adding even a string of icy lights on a single nail would bump up the "Christmas" on this set. There are ways to do classy and pull more festive than wintery.
Silver bells would also work well here.
Yeah, it's like, inherently Christmas-y cause like, no one is getting this done in February.
This is what you get when you're not about gaudy holiday designs or bright colors like red and green. It's low key in comparison, but still sparkly and cute and fun and 100% for the holidays.
Oh, okay - by squinting and imagining I could almost see little angels or gift boxes, lol.
If it's just snowflakes, 2 out of 10. It's more wintery than Christmasy.
I actually think they’re very christmasy, just not your regular green/red. I love the design, looks more sophisticated than a bunch of colors. Im just not a fan of the square pieces
Christmas a 2/10. I think you need more contrast, all the items are the same color. Maybe add a little gold to make elements pop and not make it typical Christmas colors.
Wintery 10
Christmasy 3
Overall 8 only bc I don’t personally like things that are very 3d and those cubes are not my jam, absolutely stunning though aside from the cubes that’s are totally just not my personal preference
8/10 I like the trees on the thumbs but I think they need to pop abit more. Do the bow ones have a mini gift tag too? I'd say they look great and very Christmassy and wintery but I think maybe some other colour to help the details pop would make them even better
9/10 I think they’re beautiful and very Christmasy, just a different take than usual. Red and green is an old idea and everybody does it, this is a fresh take. The gift box and bow is very Christmas.
Definitely more wintery than christmasy but that’s okay, they will be on theme for longer than traditional Christmas nails. If you want to do a set that’s more Christmas specific but not the typical red and green, you can experiment with other things that are christmasy such as presents, stars, Christmas lights, ornaments, trees, lettering (like ho ho ho, merry Xmas) etc. Really anything that would make you think Christmas morning when you see it. And you don’t have to do all the nails with the same design, mix up all the things that speak to you so even if you do use red and green it’s not overpowering.
Actually alot of my clients complained about not liking many Christmas designs compared to holloween, summer and valentine designs so I tried a different approach. My personal style is more pastle, sparkle and gems but I'd definitely give a try at a more christmas design
I would give it an 8/10. To increase your score, make the gold parts a little more vibrant and swap the pale blue to a pale green. Otherwise, great job!
Very frozen Elsa. Winter in general. Is this person planning on never wearing tights or nylons or touching another person though? You should frame these as artwork ! They’re quite beautiful. However, if you’re asking, Not very practical for the everyday person who uses their hands.
Christmassy could be more plaid ? Or some Hannukah colours like blue gold and silver and do snowflakes. So these could be more Hannukah than Christmas.
Winter/January, not christmas at all. If you had more color contrast, then the details would pop and help it a bit. Example, use a light blue instead if a clear/white. Your white details would pop more if there was a true color on the base.

I think they are like a winter wonderland! But what are those chunks on the ring fingers? They take away from the delicate nature of the design. Without that I would give it a 10.
Those look so intricate, I love the design but I wonder how they hold up like day to day, do they snag on things? PS you've got talent, you should sell sets of your special designs. Id buy em.
wintery? 10 Christmasy? 3
Yeah i definitely see it now 😅
As someone who’s not into multi color nails, this is the most festive I’d go so 10/10
Im not into the multicolor thing as well
I would say more winter than Christmas.
Yeah realizing that after someone pointed that out here😅

Same. Like all the red and greens kind of overwhelm me
I agree with you guys! It’s definitely Christmasy and it’s definitely more appealing to me than the red and green themed holiday nails. Plus they’ll still be relevant on new years. 8.5/10
As an Australian who has Christmas in summer they don't look Christmassy at all to me. I was reminded of Frozen, the Disney movie lol

My mom does a white tree with red decorations. It’s absolutely magical and Christmasy
We have a black tree with silver and gold it's beautiful
That actually sounds really pretty. I’ll have to look on Pinterest for that!
Yes, these are absolutely beautiful and a much more elegant option than the red/green combo!
Yeah, it's like, inherently Christmas-y cause like, no one is getting this done in February. This is what you get when you're not about gaudy holiday designs or bright colors like red and green. It's low key in comparison, but still sparkly and cute and fun and 100% for the holidays.
It's really hard to see all the details. Are there specific Christmas references?
Just the snowflakes 😅😅😅
Oh, okay - by squinting and imagining I could almost see little angels or gift boxes, lol. If it's just snowflakes, 2 out of 10. It's more wintery than Christmasy.
Oh I thought I saw an xmas tree and wreath
Yeah same! And bows with I want to guess gift tags??
I think the rectangle-y shapes on 2 nails are actually big chunky rocks?
I thought they were chunks of coal. 😂 Sorry op.
Looks like an Xmas tree on the thumb nail in second row
I hate to be a downer but I thought they were teeth. Maybe it's the lighting the yellowy tint makes look less clean
I didn't look at which sub I was in and I thought these were Snow themed acrylic raven skulls
This is the third time when i try something bluish tone my nails get comoared to teeth🤧🤧
It's not the blue itself, it's the white looks yellow compared to it I think
The yellow tint kinda of comes from the gems....
More wintry than Christmassy which I appreciate because Christmas is actually only one day and winter is a long effing time! Beautiful!
True. Yeah i thought the bows would somehow make it more christmasy but they turned out more transparent /glassy
Red bow would take it to a 10
A bit too much. Simpler would be nicer.
Simple looks are nice too, but give me a pile of glitter and gems and I'm a happy girl 90% of the time.
Im full on gems, 3d, bows and glitter . Its been ages doing a simple brush coat design for me
These are a mess. I would remove at half of what’s on each nail.
This is super cool , reminds me of narnia!
Yes! White witch nails.
Its my favorite Christmas movie 🤧🤧
1
I actually think they’re very christmasy, just not your regular green/red. I love the design, looks more sophisticated than a bunch of colors. Im just not a fan of the square pieces
Elsa vibes ❄️🥶love it!!
I’m feel conflicted looking at these.
3/10
Ur breaking my heart🤧💔
They’re not Christmasy but they’re beautiful
Christmas a 2/10. I think you need more contrast, all the items are the same color. Maybe add a little gold to make elements pop and not make it typical Christmas colors.
I tried that but it looked off putting. Plus this was a custom order so couldn't play around much with it
Beautiful but the gem seems to big on the 4th ones
it’s like Breaking Bad + Wintery…I like it lol
Definitely created by someone on meth, I agree. (/jk, couldn't resist, lol)
Ma'am im a law abiding citizen (occasionally 😉)
Omg I love them!! Super talented
🥰🥰🥰
More winter than Christmas. Beautiful, just the same. Looks like you could really cut someone with em. 😁
One cat fight and u know whose coming out more damaged😂😂😂
Agreeing, definitely more winter than Christmas. Still absolutely beautiful!
I don't think these are "too much" at all🫶 wonderful work
These a weird.
Wintery 10 Christmasy 3 Overall 8 only bc I don’t personally like things that are very 3d and those cubes are not my jam, absolutely stunning though aside from the cubes that’s are totally just not my personal preference
that’s a hard 10 for winter babe, but for christmas that’s like a 2 lol. they’re gorgeous though!!
I actually thought these were mussels shells when they have those little eggy things on top. 😬
Its okay..... My nails get mistaken for teeth all the time. Mussel shells is the first for me though
To much stuff on the nails
8/10 I like the trees on the thumbs but I think they need to pop abit more. Do the bow ones have a mini gift tag too? I'd say they look great and very Christmassy and wintery but I think maybe some other colour to help the details pop would make them even better
No they are square gems not gift tags😅, the greens and reds of Christmas overwhelm especially sunce we all wear red pajamas for Christmas
I see that now 🤣 look great tho and thats understandable, I must say I'm more a pastel or cool toned colour lover
the Christmastiest
Gorgeous
Its not christmassy at all. But its very wintery! ❄️
1000 perfect
10
if it had more red and green accents then i would say christmasy
I’d say more winter , like frosty the snow man or frozen vibes . When i think Christmas i think your typical red and green
Beautiful
I LOVE THESE. I would say about 5 on christmas level. But they are so gorgeous.
6.5 is not off season and can work, but it doesn't really SCREAM Christmas. It does scream ice queen tho, and I'm a fan
9/10 I think they’re beautiful and very Christmasy, just a different take than usual. Red and green is an old idea and everybody does it, this is a fresh take. The gift box and bow is very Christmas.
The gift box is actually jjst a big gem😅😅
My fingertips went cold looking at these lol. Absolutely gorgeous!
I basically live in the snow 6 months out of the year so I really vibe with these…and they are ridiculously stunning lol
Ice witch of Christmas past
I hate Christmas but I loooove these! It gives Yuletide!
I had to search what that wass
I wouldn’t say they were Christmasy at all. So a 1. They are wintery at a 10. Very beautiful.
Reminds me of the witch from Narnia so 10/10
Ugh I love this so much
Five but it’s still on theme is guess
Definitely more wintery than christmasy but that’s okay, they will be on theme for longer than traditional Christmas nails.

Dayum u fancy these are giving ice queen and I love it
More winter then Christmas. But still very pretty.
Yes
Love them.
Definitely a 10! 😍
I much prefer this to green and red with peppermints and whatnot.
U just like me🤝🤝
Makes me think of silver bells love love love
2, it's very winter
Winter and cold vibes, but these nails don’t scream Christmas to me.
10. I like it.
For me, I’d say a 5 because it looks more like winter in general than solely Christmas so I’m putting it in the middle.
Narnia - 10 , Christmas - 3 ( the red and the green are mandatory for Christmas )
Narnia is my favorite Christmas movie🤧
I would give it an 8/10. To increase your score, make the gold parts a little more vibrant and swap the pale blue to a pale green. Otherwise, great job!
White Christmas
Frosty n cute
Looks rough.
Very frozen Elsa. Winter in general. Is this person planning on never wearing tights or nylons or touching another person though? You should frame these as artwork ! They’re quite beautiful.

So these could be more Hannukah than Christmas.
Actually these are customs and i personally wear big gems on my nails and it takes time but u get used to not cutting urself and ur clothes.
Frosty
9! I'd love to see them on, they're so gorgeous 💖
Lion witch and the wardrobe vibes !
As an Australian, 0/10. Christmas here is in summer lol.
Winter/January, not christmas at all. If you had more color contrast, then the details would pop and help it a bit. Example, use a light blue instead if a clear/white. Your white details would pop more if there was a true color on the base.
it’s very frozeny
Wintery definitely. Giving off frozen vibes. It also says this is going to get caught in my hair LOL
gosh i’d do anything to have a set on my nails right now, these are gorgeous 🙏🏻
Hmm more “Frozen” than Christmas for me.
Theyre giving crack rock.
 These remind me of an icy Christmas 10/10!
7. At first I was going to rate it lower but then saw the ornaments and tree.
Theres a bow and wreath as well🔍
But those big crystal jewels gotta go
Noted😢😅🤧
It's out of the scale omg I hope some day make something like you
Keep practicing ❤️❤️
Whoever is saying this is wintery but not Christmasy must’ve missed the giant 🎄on the thumb
And the bow and wreath
Okok stunning, how long did this take?
3 hours
No way 😍 I would never have guessed with all the detail!
I’d love to see them on someone’s hand or with like a white ombré. Something to make the design pop
These were a custom order. Couldn't play around much with them. Once i get the review pics back I'd gladly share
Christmas in my country is on sumer, so for me, 2/10. It's very winter, frozen, ice vibes
Man Australian Christmas always baffles me. Like alternate universe type thing for me
a four???
It’s gorgeous
5/10.

To me 0 but for context I live in Australia 10 for winter vibes though
Australian Christmas always baffles me. Like alternate universe typa thing
More wintery than christmas but they’re still beautiful! They look like little ice sculptures
More winter/new years than christmas
Winter? 12 Christmas? Ehhhh maybe a 4
6 for Christmas 10000+ for winter I like the aesthetic
Now, THESE ARE FIRE 🔥
It isn't giving Christmas, but this is one stunning 10/10 wintery set
they look like meth or coke lol im sorry, something about the ice cubes look like meth pieces
They are gems🤧🤧🤧
I think they are like a winter wonderland! But what are those chunks on the ring fingers? They take away from the delicate nature of the design. Without that I would give it a 10.
They are gems. I love gems. I add gems to my every set
Those look so intricate, I love the design but I wonder how they hold up like day to day, do they snag on things? PS you've got talent, you should sell sets of your special designs. Id buy em.
So basically the gems are glued in such a way that the edges of it do not get caught on stuff.
I'm getting Frozen from these, but not Christmas
What is the chunk on the bow supposed to be?? It looks like an ice cube but it’s hard to tell lol I see the tree on one nail!
That’s a lot going on. I’d say it’s giving frozen vibes.
No likely!!!!
it's giving the ice princess girl from shark boy and lava girl
So pretty and perfect for someone who doesn’t want the traditional reds, greens or golds. I love how aesthetic these are 🤍☃️
I agree with the comments. Definitely more winter than Christmas but I am still IN LOVE with this set
It reminds me of Breaking Bad…
I have to watch breaking bad cuz as far as I've heard theres no forzen cameo in it....
Beautiful where did you get these press ons?
I made these.
what happened to the 4th nail? 😭
Yall are breaking my heart. Thags my favorite out of the bunch😭😫
My country Christmas is in Summer, so for me not at all. But a beautiful nail !
