We never get tired of Keke Palmer’s nail looks. The multi-hyphenate always brings originality and fun to her manicures. She’s tried out a reverse French manicure, latte nails, cherry jello nails, silver French tips, and a handful more ultra-trendy designs that fit her aesthetic perfectly. Her latest manicure? Everyone’s favorite mismatched mani trend, with a holiday twist.
On December 21, Palmer posted two photos to her Instagram showing off another look at her glasses collaboration with Zenni Optical. Of course, she was wearing some of the chicest frames from the collection, which also happened to match her fully festive ensemble.
Though we would add the glasses to our shopping cart, the nails had us calling our favorite nail salon for an appointment. Long and almond-shaped, each of them featured a different design that fit every holiday aesthetic. Some were French nails, some were a solid color, and some could even still look good for New Year’s Eve.

Keke’s index fingers, however, were our favorite. Perfect for every event from Christmas to “bed rot week” and New Year’s Eve, these two shined with bright gold chrome. However, different from typical chrome manis, this one had a tinge of glitter peeking through.
Next down the line was some Christmas tree realness. Her middle fingers matched with her pinkies. All of them had a French tip design that started with a classic, slightly pink, glossy base. Then, towards the top, it transitioned into a dark green. What’s more? On top of the green tips were ultra-thin vertical stripes painted in metallic silver—like how you line your tree with tinsel.
The last two fingers, her thumb and ring finger, also matched in color and design. These nails were solidly filled from cuticle to tip with festive mistletoe red. On top of the red, diagonal stripes of various sizes were drawn across the nail. The stripes were mostly shimmering gold, like her pointer finger, but also had some green thrown into the mix.

Her outfit and makeup perfectly matched the festive design of her nails. Palmer’s lips were painted a bright cherry red and lined with a slightly darker hue. Her outfit was nearly completely red as well.
The star layered a red satin corset top underneath an exact matching blazer. The blazer was form-fitting with dramatic lapels and coordinated beautifully with her plaid skirt—which was made up of reds, greens, blues, yellows, and whites. Palmer also threw on a handful of rings, layered sheer black tights under the skirt, put on some platform heels, and, the part we couldn’t dare forget, added her bedazzled Zenni Optical glasses.
Then, she had her sights set—get it?—on the nearest holiday party.
