Top 10 Boho Christmas Nails – White, Gold & Glam

Hi Lovelies, the festive season is upon us and before you know it, the holiday celebrations too!

So for those of you who didn’t already pin their next Christmas mani, I selected for you my top 10 favourite boho Christmas nail inspo in white, gold and nude colours.

If, like me, you enjoy chic and elevated nail designs with just the right amount of sparkle – looks that go with everything, from your casual weekend outfits to your festive looks (including your beach glow moments) – you’re going to love these.

Snowflakes or not, for me it’s the mix of soft nude and gold that gets the best effect – timeless and always sophisticated.

My favourite nail design this year? The babyboomer in matte, with dainty abstract gold chrome decorations and tiny pearls and bijoux details.

Have a look, and tell me – which Christmas nails will you be picking for your next manicure?

1. Classic Boho Christmas Nails – Gold Sparkles Over Beige Nude & White Nails

A classic, versatile, and elegant look. The trio of gold, beige, and white is always a winner. In this design, apply beige on the two middle nails, white on the outer ones, and a gold chrome finish on the second finger for balance and contrast. Add elegant lines of gold sparkles over the coloured nails for that refined, harmonised mix of neutrals and gold. Simple, effective, and easy to achieve.

2. The New Chic Trend – Matte Base with Dots Bijou Nails

I’ve seen this polka-dot bijou trend for a while, but it looks even more sophisticated on a nude base – I love it because it makes your nails perfectly smooth and naturally elegant.

With dainty bijoux on top, it creates that couture effect – a Dior flair that instantly elevates your manicure. Gold or silver with pearls or crystals – compose your jewel setting by applying larger elements at the base and scattering smaller ones toward the tips.

Minimalist and sophisticated, this look blends natural beauty with couture artistry for a refined and festive manicure.

3. Matte Babyboomer with Snowflakes

I personally prefer almond nails, but I couldn’t find my original pin – forgive me!

The babyboomer is an eternal classic, and revisited in matte, it’s the perfect canvas to highlight snowflake designs. Use a no-wipe white gel paint to draw the thin lines and tiny dots of the snowflakes perfectly. Dip it into sugar or acrylic powder if you want to add texture – but I recommend doing it only on thicker nail art, as the powder tends to blur fine details and erase the clean definition of the design.

4. Festive Glossy Babyboomer with a Touch of Sparkles

Glossy, shiny, eye-catching – this look is the perfect mix of everyday polish with a festive touch.

I love longer white tips; they give a modern feel to this timeless classic – simple, with max impact.

Coat it with a light layer of transparent, peach, or gold glitter gel for the final touch.

Extra tip: draw elegant wavy lines from base to tip to add dimension and a more luxurious finish.

5. Snowflake Nails with Sugar Effect

One of the most popular nail designs on Pinterest and Instagram – the famous snowflake in sugar powder. It’s probably the most requested nail art during the holidays! My personal advice: it’s Christmas, but you’re not the tree.

I like colours and designs, don’t get me wrong. But too much variety can make it hard to balance your look – and everything loses impact.

Stick to one or two snowflakes, a palette of up to three shades max, and leave some negative space for that refined effect.

I like this cute nail inspo – nude matte base, white sugar snowflakes on the middle nails. Feminine, elegant, festive. Without trying too hard.

6. Abstract Gold Chrome Design & Pearls

Another one of my favourite trends this season: dainty gold abstract designs over a natural nude base. It brings a magnetic, artistic allure to your nails – a couture vibe that feels both modern and poetic.

You can create abstract floral, geometric, geode, or wavy shapes – the options are endless. Keep it harmonious; I like mine discreet, but go bold and Schiaparelli-inspired if that’s your vibe!

7. Gold French Tips Chrome Nails

Chrome nail designs have been popular for a while now, but this version – stylish metallic French tips in gold chrome – gives the trend new life. Gold pairs beautifully with jewellery, but you can also use rose gold, copper, or silver depending on your tone and accessories. Pair them with pink, peach, or beige sheer bases. Add a delicate snowflake or gold sparkle at the base for that festive finish – and you’re ready to celebrate.

8. Boho Celestial Nails with Gold Stars & Pearls

Of course, my top 10 wouldn’t be complete without a pure boho nail design! Not everyone dives into full Christmas mode, so I picked this celebratory, spiritual-chic look – celestial nails with gold stars, moons, and pearl details. It’s a structured chaos of sparkles that just shouts boho. It’s spiritual, dreamy, and perfectly boho chic – for the eternal wanderer with her head in the stars.

9. Simple Pink Nude & Gold Ombre Nails

Ombre nails are one of my all-time favourites – a soft gradient that elevates any shade. To make it festive, simply swap your usual pinks or terracottas for gold or silver tones. This was actually my Christmas nail look last year – super quick and easy, perfect when you’re short on time.

10. Champagne Chrome Nails

And finally, the Champagne Chrome Nails – quick, luminous, and simply gorgeous. Just cover your nails in chrome powder, and for a frosty finish, add a matte top coat. Use two layers of top coat to protect the chrome from peeling or fading. If you’re feeling creative, add engraved-style decorative lines.

Tip: apply the chrome first, then create the nail art on top. This keeps your design defined and dimensional.
