As the holiday season approaches, one thing is clear: celebrities are delivering some serious inspo on the nail trends front.
After doing a little Instagram sleuthing, I’ve spotted some nail trends that are perfect for the festive season.
Whether you’re into metallics, icy hues, or cozy tones, there’s something for everyone to try.
Sabrina Carpenter: Silver for the Season
Sabrina Carpenter has been rocking a stunning silver metallic manicure during her tour, and honestly, it’s perfect for the holidays.
Carpenter’s silver nails give major holiday vibes, like tinsel or a sparkling ornament on your fingertips. Plus, silver is a great choice if you have cool-toned skin or hair as it complements those tones beautifully.
If you’re someone who gravitates toward silver jewelry instead of gold, this could be the holiday nail color for you. Not to mention, silver nails match almost everything, so you don’t have to worry about them clashing with your holiday outfits.

Hailey Bieber, The Reigning Queen of Nail Trends
Of course, we couldn’t skip Hailey Bieber—the queen of nail trends. Remember her viral glazed donut nails? Well, she’s moved on, but her manicures are still making waves.
For her 28th birthday last week, Hailey wore baby blue nails with a tiny olive design. She even posted pictures holding a martini, which tied the look together.
Baby blue might not scream “fall” at first—it’s more of a spring or summer shade—but paired with her vibe, it was giving total ice queen energy. Personally, I wasn’t obsessed with the olive detail (I think an all-blue look or even a glazed donut-style blue would’ve been cuter), but it’s still a fun choice.
Fast forward to now: Hailey’s switched it up again. Her latest nail set features a dark teddy-bear brown, which I love. It’s warm, cozy, and very “hot chocolate on a cold night.” This rich shade looks amazing with her hair and overall aesthetic, making it a perfect choice for winter.
Knowing Hailey, people will probably give this nail color some quirky name—because they always do. (Remember when her hair was called “Hailey Bieber cookie butter swirl”? Iconic, but also, silly.)
Bella Hadid: The Brown Trend Continues
And Hailey isnt alone in the chocolaty nail trend: It looks like brown nails are having a moment because Bella Hadid is on board too.
A few days ago, she posted photos showing off a slightly lighter shade of brown than Hailey’s. Bella’s nails lean more towards a dark tan, but they’re equally chic and versatile.
As always, Bella knows how to make any look her own. She radiates confidence, and her style choices always feel authentic to her personality.
The Verdict
If Sabrina Carpenter’s metallic silver and Hailey Bieber’s chocolate brown are any indication, holiday nail trends this year are all about striking the perfect balance between festive fun and cozy vibes.
Whether you go for icy tones, glittery metallics, or warm browns, there’s no shortage of inspiration to take from this season’s celebrity looks.
Oh and of course, red is always neutral during the holiday season.
