For a new take on your nails, it’s important to celebrate the festive season with a pristine manicure.

While red and green are the traditional colors of Christmas, you can still embody the holiday spirit with a monochromatic take. Going red—arguably the most alluring of the two—is a striking way to approach the season.

Taking inspiration from a plethora of nail specialists on Instagram, the following sets are sure to amp up your aesthetic game, no matter which look you settle for.
