11 Winter Manicure Ideas

Winter
is the best time to be creative with your nails. We tend to wear dark
and quite muted colors, we spend more time at home because it’s
cold, you might have more time in the evening, so why not use it to
make your nails look all pretty and creative. It’s hard to think of
winter nails and not immediately jump to Christmas, but we tried our
best to find some ideas that will work for non-festive occasions as
well. We hope you get inspired by these winter manicure ideas and
choose to add some color and sparkle into your life this winter
through the medium of cool nail art.

1.
Black nail polish used to be associated with rock’n’roll and
punk, but these days black is just a good choice to look chic with no
hassle. But for an extra oomph adding some tiny sequins on a nail or
two never hurt anyone.

2.
Shades of red inevitably will make it onto your nails every winter.
Somehow we just keep coming back to it as a winter color, even though
it’s a year-round classic. Adding a few stars can help set you
apart.

Light colored nude nails with a little sliver of gold are the most
winter-appropriate manicure idea we’ve seen. The star/snowflake on
one nail is a nice accent too.

Plain old nude nails look completely transformed once you add a
couple of branches on top. Those are probably drawn on, but you know
you can get nail stickers, right?

This nail design idea is a perfect example of how just using a couple
of brushstrokes of all the Christmas and winter colors can transform
your manicure. You don’t even have to know how to draw, just put a
couple of blobs of winter colors on your nude nails, some gold or
silver foil and suddenly you’re artsy and fancy.

Blues, whites and greys always look good together and the geometric
design that looks like misty snowy mountains is a great idea for
winter nails.

Colorful stars just make every manicure look 300% better. You can’t
deny it, it’s a truth universally acknowledged.

Hexagon glitter on nude nails is my jam. All-day every day, but this
looks especially wintery in this color combination don’t you think?

Whitish nude, glitter and crystals? Yes queen! Be that ice queen this
winter. Great for special occasions but who says you can’t rock it
on the daily?

base. It is magical and you know it. Who wouldn’t want to rock
nails like that?

11. For an extra wintery and extra icy look go for a light blue base. It’s giving me Frozen vibes, Elsa would definitely go for it.
