Elton John might have stepped into Christmas, but Christina Aguilera is diving into it fingers-first.

The iconic vocalist is currently promoting Christina Aguilera: Christmas in Paris, which is pretty much exactly what you've probably guessed it is. For the 25th anniversary of her beloved Christmas album, My Kind of Christmas, she filmed a special concert in France that fans will get to see in movie theaters this month. And when she visited The Jennifer Hudson Show to chat about it, she was fully decked out in holiday vibes, all the way down to her fingertips.

Aguilera wore a gauzy white and lacy red Di Petsa dress paired with thigh-high, red suede boots. She went full snow-queen glam with her hair and makeup, including Veronica Lake-esque smooth, blonde waves, and—as is customary this time of year—super-shimmery eye shadow in a silvery champagne shade. But as fabulous as these details may be, we're especially enamored with Aguilera's nails.

We don't know if she intentionally coordinated her manicure and her ‘fit, but they truly complement each other. The base of each of Aguilera's almond-shaped nails is polished in an ethereal off-white, which already feels inherently icy and, thus, appropriate for this time of year. But what really gives the mani an especially festive feel are the deep red details. A few nails have a crimson French tip, while others have a bow or a ribbow-like wavy line.

For someone who may be in the market for an on-theme manicure to wear to holiday parties but doesn't want full-blown cutesty Santa and reindeer faces across their fingers, Aguilera's nails serve as sophisticated inspo to bring to your salon. (And don't worry if you can't afford to pair it with a multi-thousand-dollar dress. It will look great with everything!)
