Looking for a nail design you can do right at home? Paint your nails in alternating red and white, then draw on tiny red and white hearts. You can even add red or silver nail jewels for sparkle.

 

5. Silver Squiggles

Line designs are a cool way to feature two colors in your manicure. Start with red fingernails (or half red and half pink) and paint thick white vertical stripes on the two middle nails. Finish with silver squiggles. 

 

6. White Dots

15. Red and Silver with Black Detailing

These red and silver almond nails leave a little more room for creativity. Start by painting nails red, leaving the accent nail in only silver.

Using nail stickers, add swirled detail in black on half the nail. Tiny rhinestones will also jazz up these nails.

 

16. Bright Red Nail with Gold and Silver

Bright red square nails are sure to pop, especially when you add a sparkly gold nail or two. On a few of the red nails, try your hand at drawing on silver scenery like Christmas trees or snowmen.

 

17. Red and Silver Holiday Nails

To be ready for the holidays, choose bright red for long squoval nails. Use silver glitter to dress up the ends and bright white to draw large snowflakes with a jewel for the center.

 

18. Red and Silver Snowflake Nails

It’s easy to get these shiny red Christmas nails. Just color half the tips with glittery silver, draw a thin white line for the border, then add tiny white snowflakes and dots on just the accent nails!

 

19. Dark Red with Silver Tips

Define the curved edge of round or almond nails by first painting them dark red, then defining the tips with solid silver. The solid tips will make the nails, and consequently, your fingers, look longer.
