Peppermint Swirl Nails

You’ve heard me say this before and it definitely won’t be the last time you hear me say this, but I don’t know how Kelly does it. Every year I don’t think it’s possible to top her creativity and attention to detail of past manicures. Every time she proves me wrong and these Peppermint Swirl Nails might just have made their way to the top of my favorite holiday manicures list!

My holiday manicures of years past have been legitimate works of art. This includes Christmas String Light Nails, Candy Cane Nails, Plaid Nails, Christmas Sweater Nails. But these red and green glitter Peppermint Swirl Nails may just be the ultimate Christmas manicure!

The attention to detail on these nails is literally amazing! First off the peppermint pinwheel is so spot on it looks exactly like the candy itself. And the mini candy canes on my thumbs are so perfect they actually look like stickers! I’ve actually had multiple people comment that they can’t believe they are hand painted and not in fact nail art decals!

And if you’re wondering why I didn’t name this manicure, Candy Cane Nails, it’s because I actually have 2 other candy candy nails already on my site and they’re all completely different! This candy cane French manicure design is a more subtle take on candy cane nails and this step-by-step candy cane nail design is definitely intricate, but it’s something you can easily recreate at home with a steady hand and a thin nail art brush.

Clearly I have a sweet tooth and a love for red and white stripe designs!
