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.
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).
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).
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.
Dreamy aura nails are still going strong, with Christopher John Rogers showcasing cool, contrasting color combinations by Jin Soon Choi.
