Close your eyes and imagine a winter landscape with a cozy cabin. Everything’s perfect, from the snowy evergreens to the cheerful fireplace inside, waiting for your arrival.
We took that scene as our inspiration to choose holiday-themed gel nail polishes for you this season. Each shade can transform your nails into a winter wonderland. We hope you enjoy the beautiful colors and effects they offer you.
Holiday-Themed Gel Nail Polishes
LAVIS Glitter G05 - Champagne Toast Glitter Collection
The Lavis Champagne Toast Glitter Collection is one of our favorites for winter holiday nail art. It features two dozen colors glittering with winter fun and cozy cabin charm. Some shades remind us of the peaceful silence of a frosty landscape. They are like the glimmer of light on freshly fallen snow. Others make us think about pine trees, holly berries, or a delicious glass of wine by the fireplace.
Moreover, each polish is specially designed for extra sparkle. Depending on the type of light and the viewing angle, your nails will look shimmery or downright dazzling. And yes, anyone can achieve salon-quality results at home with these gels. They are straightforward to apply and remove, with a low-odor formula that stays gorgeous for weeks on your fingertips.
Here’s another collection celebrating the jelly gel trend with plenty of sparkle. That’s right, these are cat eye magnetic polishes that are infinitely customizable. All you need is a magnet to make the magic happen. Don’t they look like multi-hued frost on the windows?
LAVIS Cat Eye CE5 - Lucid Dream Collection
The LAVIS Cat Eye Lucid Dream Collection has nine shades packed with pigment, yet still translucent like stained glass. They are a rainbow of colors with spectacular clarity and plenty of glitter. There’s everything you need to create a memorable holiday manicure.
The first shade is similar to frosty crystals, and the second is like bubbly champagne. The third is a mug of your favorite drink, while the fourth reflects the pale blue of a winter sky. We could go on, but you should see the colors yourself. There’s something for every skin tone, outfit, and special occasion.
Maybe you’re aware that milky shades are fashionable this winter. Also, sheer neutrals never go out of style. Both of these create a lovely background to host winter nail designs. Plus, it’s fun to embellish them with pearls and metallic accents.

LAVIS Glitter G02 - Pillow Talk Collection
Of course, red is the eternal classic nail color. Whether you prefer passionate crimson or maraschino cherry, they never go out of style for the holidays.
Moreover, cat eye polishes have a unique trait. They create the illusion of being two colors instead of only one. All you need to do is move the glitter with a magnet. The sparkles here look like snow on a burgundy background, leaving the French tip nearly bare of shimmer.
Lavis Gel Polish 273 - Vintage Rose Colors - Terracotta
When contemplating the rustic charm of a wintertime getaway, you probably picture snuggling by the fireplace with a mug of cocoa or coffee. Warm shades like brown and beige echo the earthy palette of a secluded cabin. They are part of this Lavis holiday gel collection.

Meanwhile, here are some cozy textures found in a cabin retreat. Cable knit patterns are comforting, like a favorite sweater on a chilly evening. The touchable taupe and cream designs promise to keep your fingertips as snug as they are stylish.
LAVIS LX1 - Coffee & Caramel Collection
Here’s a vibrant design inspired by holiday joy. It’s like those unexpected moments that bring color to dull, chilly days. It was done with shades from the Lavis Hidden Treasures Collection, a collection of cat eye gels in vivid colors. Think of it like the promise of sunlight and warmth after a long winter night. The festive rainbows are accompanied by stars and snowfall from shimmering clouds.

Take Time for Self-Care During the Holidays
Finding peaceful moments by yourself can be challenging in the whirlwind of the holiday season. Still, it’s essential. You can enjoy self-care through nail art among the many tasks and social engagements. Seriously--painting one’s nails is a ritual of self-compassion and mindfulness.
A Ritual for Relaxation
The deliberate strokes required to apply gel polish are meditative. With each swipe of color, the mind focuses, the breath slows, and a rhythm takes hold. This practice can be active meditation, where the attention to detail provides a break from the seasonal stress. During these moments, with a comforting cup steaming beside you, you can relax and feel tranquil.
Create a Personal Space
Doing your nails creates a personal time that’s physically and psychologically comforting. This private haven is as rejuvenating as a spa retreat. It’s a space where you can self-reflect and feel refreshed.
Express Your Individuality
Choosing colors and designs that showcase your style affirms your individuality during a time marked by compliance with traditions. Your nails are one way to express your unique personality and style. Even if you feel the need to conform, your mani can still speak for you.
Positive Emotions
Colors influence emotions. Bright and glittery shades uplift the spirit, while dark tones provide a sense of calm and grounding. Use your nails to remind yourself of what’s important during this busy season.
Self-Appreciation
Moreover, beautiful nails are a subtle yet constant cue to appreciate yourself. Every time you glance at your hands, you’re reminded of the time you took to care for yourself. It’s a small, personal luxury that says, “I’m worth it”.
A Bonding Experience
Sharing this self-care practice with others can be a way to connect and slow down together. It combines the joy of companionship with relaxation.
