Beyoncé’s Santa Hat Holiday Manicure Is Easy To Recreate Last-Minute

Christmas time is here! With festivities in full swing, the most wonderful time of the year is ready to make another joyful appearance. You’ll know that it’s Christmas by the start of so many things: sugar cookies in the form of snowmen to holiday lights hanging outside of homes. Don’t forget the endless amount of Christmas movies and music to be watched! Christmas, of course, makes its presence in the beauty industry as well, with so many holiday-themed accessories, makeup products, hairstyles, and of course, holiday nail designs. The icon Beyoncé posted cute Christmas-themed nails of a Santa hat design to her Instagram on Dec. 20, and they really bring the festive cheer.

Beyoncé’s nails were a red French tip manicure with added white nail polish to create a Santa hat look. Santa hats are a staple to Christmas fashion, as it’s one of the iconic accessories representing the one and only character of Santa Claus. Followers could see her nails through her Instagram collage posted on Dec. 20, which has garnered over 1 million likes. Even Queen Bey herself knows how to get into the holiday spirit!

Santa Hat nails were the icing on the cake to Queen Bey’s look. The look showed her in a stunning black outfit from head to toe, with a black cropped leather jacket, a black turtleneck sweater with an added hood, black pants, and black lace-up heels. Accessories of gold dangle earrings, white and black purses, black shades, and red toes to go with her Santa nails complimented her outfit perfectly. It was the best outfit to take a walk to explore city streets in during the cold weather.

People had much praise over the look, sharing many compliments in the comments. Some were excited to see her take a walking city tour, and others couldn’t help but share which purse looked best for her look. Others caught a glimpse of her Santa nails and loved them. With over 21,000 comments in the comments section, the look added some holiday cheer for Renaissance Concert Tour star.

The look of Santa Hat nails is super achievable for anyone to do. Figure out how to do the look in the TikTok above by @makarttpr. As you paint the tip of your nails red, drag the color along down your nail bed to create the cone stocking shape of the hat. Next, use white nail polish to paint a line below your red french tip to create the cuff of the hat. Add white dots to make the fluffiness of the cuff and pom-pom at the end of the hat. The look is perfect for a finishing touch to your overall Christmas attire — and what better way to spend the holidays than twinning with Queen Bey?
