From intricate dreidel designs to magnificent menorahs, there's no better time to rock Hanukkah nails and ring in the eight-day holiday in festive style. Here are a few of our favorite nail designs to get you into the Hanukkah spirit in no time at all.
Something Sparkly
We love the simple design that nailsbydenise3 put together. It’s not only classic, but the menorah detailing is just enough to bring the celebratory spirit.
All The Festivities
We’re all about having a nail party, and alldemnails knows that this is the best way to go. Combining solid colors and sparkles with intricate designs, these are the Hanukkah nails we want ASAP.
Subtle Detailing
The delicate detailing in engziskin‘s Star of David is perfect to try this holiday season, and we are drooling over the perfect shade of blue.
Make It A Celebration
There are so many wonderful parts about Hanukkah celebrations — so why not show ’em all off? shirbear1‘s details may be intricate, but they’re beautiful. (And we know we’ll be trying them out, too.)
Hanukkah-Inspired Decals
Want to ditch the hand-drawn art? No problem. Sites like Etsy sell amazing nail stickers so you can land dreamy artwork just like monicahues.
Keep It Subtle
While we love extravagant artwork, we know that it’s not always practical — or easy. A subtle design like emzrozc‘s gives a shout out to the holiday lights without overdoing it.
Hannukah Nights
Instagrammer nail_arts007‘s dreamy design is easy to nail (pun intended), and the dark hue is perfect enough to dress up for a holiday celebration.
Chrismukkah Nails
There’s so much spirit this time of year, so why not show it all off with a set of Chrismukkah nails like fingerbangportland‘s. Your nails are bound to be the envy of everyone you come across during your holiday celebrations.
Festive All Eight Days
In the festive spirit, lemmielickett‘s design lets you “light” a finger for every day of the holiday. It’s both innovative and fun for any nail guru.
Dreidel-Inspired
If you want to opt for a design that’ll stand out, fedoraharp‘s is the one for you. With subtle pops of color, these Hanukkah nails are a nail party worth rocking all season long.
Bring On The Bling
Instagrammer runningwithlacquer‘s shimmery polish and glitter-accented Star of David is the perfect combo for any glam gal celebrating Hanukkah. Sign us up for this mani ASAP.
Sparkle Bright
For a similarly shimmery, yet a bit more subtle, design, try mixing traditional and glittery polishes to add a bit of festive flair. Finish off the look by adding delicate details, like oliviajweibert‘s Stars of David.
Neutral And Bold
Nude nails, like pumps, never go out of style. manicurediaryblog proves that simple blue and nude polishes can create designs as stand out as those with glitter, nail pens and every other nail tool in the book. The blue Star of David against the nude polish is a bold holiday statement we’re utterly obsessed with.
Dreidel’s Hebrew Letters
We love any nail design that challenges us, and emismanis proves that the extra little bit of effort can create a stunning design. Her recreation of the dreidel’s Hebrew letters is already impressive, but her own designs on the rest of the nail bed are what make the end result truly memorable. “A great miracle happened there,” indeed.
Star Of David
The Star of David is a pretty easy design to nail down. Once you have it mastered, take it to the next step with a design inspired by marymagdaleneburlesque. Combining different shapes, patterns, and lines, we can’t help but want to master this level of Hanukkah-inspired nails.
