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.

ICYMI: Oribe, the haircare brand known for its luxe packaging and to-die-for products that smell as good as they work, launched a makeup line this past summer. And the products are every bit as glamorous as you'd expect. When we caught sight of this nail design by nail artist Cassmariebeauty, we practically fainted. The design captures all of the elegance and beauty of Oribe's new nail polish line -- and we want it on our fingers immediately.

Cassmariebeauty created this swoon-worthy nail art using Oribe The Lacquer High Shine Nail Polish, in The Nude and The Violet. Her inspiration for these lavish purple nails? Flocked wallpaper. For those who don't speak interior design, that's the plush, velvet-patterned wallpaper that was once reserved for homes of the wealthy. Cassmariebeauty plays on the intricate design with whimsical curvy lines and creamy, rich hues that feel 100 percent luxurious. Consider us obsessed.

Everything is better in the nude, right? Sleeping, swimming and, of course, chic nude nails. While keeping your manicure neutral may seem like a snooze cruise for the girl inclined to rock eye-catching neons and glitzy glitter nail polish, these hues complement just about any skin tone and outfit, and can be jazzed up with a little nail decal. To accommodate the lady looking for a little more bling, Essie created this gorgeous nude nail design, which features pops of metallic detail that embody modern elegance and class. Dying to recreate the nail art at home? Essie used Essie Nail Polish in Limo-Scene, Matte About You and No Place Like Chrome to get these nude color nails. Get the full nail tutorial here.
