We’re all taking to Pinterest to pull up some cute nail ideas, but don’t sleep on TikTok. It feels like pretty much everyone is using TikTok as a search engine now, and there’s some pretty cute nail inspo on there. You can find local nail salons to go to or stores that have cute holiday press-on nails. There are already so many holiday nail videos from this year alone. Don’t worry if you don’t have time to scroll them all — I’ve compiled a list of my favorite holiday nail videos for you to get ideas from.
