Simple and cute winter nails
Simple winter nails often use navy or pastel pink with a few hand-painted snowflakes or stars. Short squoval and round shapes keep the look easy to wear every day.
January nail ideas
January nails move away from red and green. Milky white glaze, frosted lavender and soft knit textures keep a winter feel after the holidays end.
Winter nail colors
Navy, burgundy, silver, white chrome and light blue carry winter from December to February.
Winter nails sit between fall and Christmas: deep red, midnight blue, hunter green, silver chrome, white snowflake accents. The cold-weather palette stays in style from December through February.
What to know about winter nails
Hunter green is the breakout winter color of recent seasons.
Silver or icy-blue chrome reads as winter without being literal.
Snowflake or pine accents extend the Christmas look past December.
Winter Nails: common questions
What are good winter nail colors?
Icy blue, white, silver, navy, burgundy, plum and forest green all suit winter. Light shades look frosty; dark shades look rich, especially with a velvet or chrome finish.
What nails should I get in January?
After the holidays, quieter looks work well: milky white, frosted lavender, a nude base with a fine glitter tip, or a soft knit texture. They still feel wintry without red and green.
Are snowflake nails only for Christmas?
No. Snowflakes work all winter, from December to February. Pair them with blue, white or navy instead of red so they read as winter rather than Christmas.
