12 Of The Best ‘Ugly Christmas Sweater’ Nails On Instagram

After subjecting our eyes to Beardaments and Christmas tree eyebrows this season, it’s refreshing to be introduced to a trend that’s  actually…cute. Unlike beard glitter and over-waxed eyebrows, ugly Christmas sweater nails are incredibly flattering on just about anyone (anyone with good nails!). It’s amazing how fashionable ugly sweater prints become when you put them on a different part of your body.

Don’t be fooled by their name. Ugly Christmas sweater nails don’t necessarily have to look like ugly sweaters at all. Some of them simply have seasonal prints, while others look like wrapping paper and ornaments.

This trend isn’t new, but this year it’s certainly taking off on social media, as most fashion does. It’s a great visual! Here are 12 of our favorite looks, in no particular order.
