You know those overly eager friends who go straight from Halloween to Christmas decor, and seem to forget the month in between? Sometimes nail art (and Starbucks cups) works the same way. While we're not usually one to jump the gun for Yuletide cheer, we'll make an exception for these subtly themed holiday nails. In our defense, the silver and deep red nails allude to the holidays without being overbearing about it. And they definitely work as an everyday fall and winter nail look, too.

Cassmariebeauty created these burgundy nails using Zoya Nail Polish in Trixie as a pretty substitute) -- just in case you want to play copy cat. If rocking these merlot digits instead of pumpkin orange in November is wrong, we don't want to be right.

If there's one thing we learned from countless hours of watching "Project Runway," it's that every successful fashionista knows the meaning of balance. Whether it's dressing up a basic outfit with an eye-catching accessory, keeping bold prints in the same color family, or in this case, maintaining balance between cool and warm. Now, we may not be talking threads, but the rules still apply for this flower nail design. After all, nails make for some of the best outfit accessories.

Redlipstickmonster created this gorgeous 3D nail art, using a moody mauve and dusty rose polish that make the floral design completely wearable for winter. The rose-accented nail adds a touch of femininity, while the purple-grey polish keeps the overall look modern and cool. It's a nail design even the sassy Tim Gunn would approve of.

We've officially made it through Thanksgiving, which means it's finally socially acceptable to blast holiday music and keep "Elf" on a loop in your living room (no judgment -- seriously). As we begin our foray into festive season, it also means we can trade in our fall nail polishes for something a little cooler -- literally -- by replacing the deep reds and earthy browns of autumn with the icy blues and stark whites of winter.

Bellacures created this minimal winter nail design using Essie Polish in Style Cartel and Barbados Blue. While we love over-the-top holiday nails as much as the next peppermint-mocha-toting gal, we can appreciate less on-the-nose winter nail art too. After all, with plenty of delightfully flashy light displays and ugly sweater parties in our future, we won't be hurting for kitsch in the coming month. Instead, flaunt this understated blue nail design like the (snow) queen you are. We'd be willing to bet it's Elsa approved.

This week, we're doing a little abstract thinking with this gorgeous geometric nail art that looks like it belongs alongside a Kandinsky.

Generally, we like to reserve bold designs for a single accent finger. But sometimes an artfully constructed nail design demands the limelight across all digits.

These Cubist-inspired nails use a broad color palette that balances light and dark, and bright and subdued, which is a must for the elaborate pattern. You can thank Olive and June for your nail envy, who posted these pretty digits as nail art inspo. However, the true master nail artist remains a mystery. Either way, accent nails only? Psh. Go ahead and rock a fist full.

How does the saying go: Life's about the little things? During the holiday season, that means festive touches, like twinkling lights illuminating the neighborhood, mistletoe dangling in a doorway ... and seriously understated holiday nail art.

NYC manicure studio Paintbox (Paintboxnails on Instagram) created this glitzy and glamorous nail design for the holidays using Floss Gloss Nail Polish in Black Holy and Nars Iconic Color Nail Polish in Milos. The black tips add a striking contrast to the tinsel-inspired gold dots. The overall effect: elegant yet festive -- perfect for any occasion from a gift-exchange brunch to a New Year's Eve fete. All you need now is a glass of bubbly to rest your dainty digits on, and your holiday nail look is complete.
