The holidays bring with them tons of festive cheer and joy all around, and it's an occasion that your nails can’t miss out on. When it comes to holiday nail colors, there are many to choose from. The main colors may stay the same, but the shades can differ each year.

Judging by the hottest new releases of the season, here are the Christmas nail colors you should go for this year.

Gold

Gold is a safe but flashy choice, which makes it the perfect Christmas nail color. Adding gold accents to a traditional French manicure will make your nails stand out in a subtle way. Whether you’re at a Christmas party or at the grocery store, gold is ideal to keep your nails in the spotlight. OPI Gel Colors are the perfect choice when you’re looking for variety in gold shades

And if you’re not a fan of loud looks, it’s always fun to go for a simple outline manicure that offers just the right amount of pop to your nails.
