Nicola Coughlan has officially entered the holiday nail chat, and her latest look is proof that subtle doesn’t have to mean boring.
For the Kate Spade Arms VIP Opening Party, the Bridgerton and Derry Girls star served major chic vibes with a manicure that’s equal parts classy and festive.
Created by celebrity nail artist Michelle Class, Nicola’s nails featured a sleek black polish—a go-to for winter glam.
But the real star of the show? Tiny silver glitter bows placed on her ring fingers. It’s the kind of detail that says, “Yes, I’m sophisticated, but I also know how to have fun.”
Coughlan paired the mani with a Kate Spade little black dress (complete with silver bows, naturally) and matching heels. It’s like her nails were an accessory, perfectly tied into the rest of her outfit.
The best part? This isn’t your classic red-and-green holiday palette. Nicola’s look is proof that black and silver can totally dominate the festive season.
Black and silver nails are the ultimate holiday multitaskers. They’re sleek enough for Christmas dinner with the family but still glam enough to pop bottles on New Year’s Eve.
The combo feels modern, festive, and versatile—perfect for anyone who wants their mani to work for every event on the calendar. Plus, the mix of shiny black and sparkly silver is low effort but high impact, making it a go-to for the entire holiday season.
Sure, it’s not the wildest or most over-the-top design we’ve seen this year, but that’s what makes it so good.
The shiny black base keeps it sleek, while the glittery bows add just the right amount of sparkle. It’s giving party-ready without trying too hard.
So, if you’re looking for holiday nails that are simple, stylish, and not drowning in glitter, Nicola’s got you covered. Add this look to your nail inspo board ASAP.
