If you’re already planning your winter nail looks, we don’t blame you. While weather can make getting dressed hit or miss this time of year, a mani is something you can count on, even in frigid temps. And then, of course, there’s the holiday season, when a manicure is fully part of your festive vibe. Whether you want to go for something moody and wintry like Taylor Swift’s deep navy nails or something sparkly and straight off the runway, we’ve gathered the best winter nail trends for 2023, ahead.
Denim Blue
When Taylor Swift stepped out at the Jets-Chiefs game in October, all eyes were on her—and her beauty look. Her moody mani puts a Midnights-esque spin on her recent blue theme timed to 1989 (Taylor’s Version).
Vinylux in Midnight Flight
This polish is a near perfect match—and just so happens to be called “Midnight Flight.”
Pale Shimmer
If you like a little glimmer with your winter manicure, get inspired by the pearl nails at PatBo, metallic pink at Christian Siriano, and glittery tips at LaPointe (pictured).
On The Verge
Not great at nail art? These Paintbox press-ons were the exact ones used on models at LaPointe.
Pop of Red
Red is continuing its reign into winter. The red French manicure seen at Alice + Olivia spring 2024 is a fun twist for the season, though classic red nails were also spotted on the Proenza Schouler and Brandon Maxwell runways.
No.16
At Alice + Olivia, nail artists painted on this exact shade of cherry red.
Moody Aura
Dreamy aura nails are still going strong, with Christopher John Rogers showcasing cool, contrasting color combinations by Jin Soon Choi.
Keppel
Mint green is poised to have a big 2024. Get ahead of the trend by using it as a base for your aura mani.
Gel Couture Long Lasting Nail Polish Kit – Inside Scoop + Top Coat
The exact shade of polish used at Michael Kors isn’t available yet, but this Essie duo will get you a similar look with gel-like shine.
Crystal Tips
If you want to go a little extra for the holidays, look no further than Sandy Liang spring 2024, where nails and fingertips were adorned with tiny rhinestones.
Moonstone Shine Nail Art Gems
If you’re nervous about sticking crystals directly to your skin, try using these stick-on gems from Olive & June x e.l.f., which don’t require nail glue.
