The holiday season is fast approaching, and nothing says "ready for celebration" quite like a fresh, festive manicure. As we look ahead to Christmas nails 2025, the trends are shifting towards a stunning blend of nostalgic classics and futuristic finishes. Whether you are attending a glamorous holiday party in Forest Hill or simply cozying up with hot cocoa, your nails deserve to sparkle.

At M1 Nail Care & Spa, located right here on Eglinton Avenue West, we are seeing a surge in requests for sophisticated, high-gloss, and textured designs. To help you choose your perfect holiday set, we’ve curated a guide to the top nail trends of the season. Let’s dive into the artistry that will define Christmas 2025.

The "It" Look: Velvet & Cat-Eye Finishes

If there is one trend dominating the 2025 holiday forecasts, it is the return of texture—specifically, the velvet nail.

Deep Red Velvet

Move over, traditional cherry red. The "Velvet Red" look uses magnetic polish to create a shimmering, multidimensional effect that mimics the plush fabric of a holiday stocking. It catches the light from every angle, giving your nails a luxurious, expensive feel.

• Why we love it: It feels incredibly festive without being "loud." It’s elegant enough for the office but dazzling enough for New Year's Eve.

• M1 Recommendation: Ask our technicians for a "Cat-Eye" or magnetic gel service in a deep burgundy or wine shade.

Icy Silver & Blue Velvet

For those who prefer a "Winter Wonderland" aesthetic, icy blue and silver velvet nails are a top contender. This look channels frosted windows and snow-covered trees, perfect for the chilly Toronto winter.

Chrome is Here to Stay: Holiday Edition

Chrome powders have been huge for the last few years, and they aren't going anywhere for Christmas 2025. However, we are seeing a shift from the standard "glazed donut" look to more seasonal variations.

Pearl White Chrome (The "Snow Angel" Look)

Imagine a soft, milky white base topped with a high-shine pearl chrome powder. This trend, often dubbed "Snow Angel" nails, is clean, minimalist, and universally flattering. It pairs beautifully with chunky knit sweaters and adds a touch of brightness to grey winter days.

Champagne Gold Chrome

Forget yellow gold; 2025 is all about soft, champagne hues. A champagne chrome tip on a nude base (a modern French twist) is one of the most requested styles at M1 Nail Care & Spa for clients who want subtle glamour.

Nostalgic Art: Bows, Gingerbread & Candy Canes

While textures and finishes are big, classic nail art is making a playful comeback. The "coquette" aesthetic is influencing holiday designs with dainty details.

The "Balletcore" Bow

Hand-painted 3D bows are everywhere. For Christmas, we’re seeing tiny red or gold ribbons painted on accent nails, often paired with a sheer pink "your nails but better" base. It is feminine, delicate, and incredibly trendy.

Gingerbread & Plaid

For a cozy, home-for-the-holidays vibe, gingerbread man accents and tartan plaid patterns are timeless. These intricate designs require a steady hand, which is where our expert technicians at M1 Nail Care & Spa shine. We use precision brushes to ensure every line of your plaid or candy cane stripe is crisp and perfect.

Green is the New Red

While red is a holiday staple, green is taking center stage in 2025.

Emerald City Gloss

Think deep, dark, bottle-green with a glass-like top coat. This color exudes sophistication and pairs wonderfully with gold jewelry. It’s a moody, dramatic alternative to the classic holiday brights.

Forest Green French Tips

If a full green nail feels too bold, try a micro-French tip in forest green. It’s a chic way to nod to the Christmas tree tradition without committing to a full solid color.
