These Winter Manicures Will Have You Forgoing Gloves, Even on The Coldest of Days

Sweater weather is finally upon us. And thereโ€™s no better accessory to pair with your new chunky knit than a chic, mani peeking out from your sleeves. Rather than sticking with your go-to polish shade for winter 2021, try something new as the weather gets chillier.

This seasonโ€™s must-have nail look is set to be emerald green. According to trends specialist Nick Drewe, โ€œDeep dark green is a contemporary and surprising wearable shade that complements all skin tones and adds a bold edge to any outfit.โ€ The shade works so well for winter and is a big leap from the bright colours we have seen throughout the year.ย 

2. Khaki Green 

One of Pinterestโ€™s top trending colours is khaki green – a soft earthy tone that looks set to take off this season. Go ahead and stock up on your green tones, because youโ€™ll be wearing these shades all autumn and winter. They look cosy, feel warm and pretty much go with everything – what more could you want?ย 

3. Forest Green

Forest green is a hot trend this season, with searches up by a whopping 244% on Pinterest. You can wear the shade in many ways. Green french tips are simple but super stylish and easy to pair with autumn and winter looks. When you canโ€™t decide which shade of green you want, you can colour each nail with a different tone.ย 

4. Brown Tip

If social media has proved one thing, itโ€™s that the French manicure look is still going strong. Add a touch of winter with a deep moody shade like chocolate or chestnut brown. While the more subtle version is still a firm favourite in salons around the world, this style is a great way to dip into darker tones for the colder months…in a subtle way.ย 

5. Navy Blue

Who doesnโ€™t love a pop of blue? Deep navy blue works so well for autumn and winter, and is a relatively simple look to recreate at home. โ€œNavy blue is a tasteful touch of colour that doesnโ€™t scream summer, and brightens the gloomy mood that autumn and winter bring.โ€ย 

6. Dark Purple

โ€œThis season, we are going to be seeing a lot of dark tones and purple always makes a big comeback every year,โ€ predicts Nick Drewe. There are more ways to wear dark purple than just a solid shade. You can paint on thick lines, poker dots or curves, create swirls, or a design combination of glossy and matt.ย 

7. Brown Swirl

You canโ€™t go wrong with an on-theme brown for autumn and winter, but if youโ€™re looking for something more unexpected, โ€˜70s swirls are on-trend. Itโ€™s a fresh way to embrace darker tones and give your traditional solid shade a break.ย 

8. Olive Green

Love it or hate it, but green is the top colour of the season. If you love earthy tones, chances are you havenโ€™t been waiting for winter to break out your favourite staple shade. Olive green is a muted tone with just enough depth to make a statement and soft enough to go with literally anything.ย 

9. Gold Tip

While a deep red or classic navy will never go out of style, why not try an unexpected gold chrome French manicure. โ€œYou can really take shine and dimension to another level with this set. Itโ€™s a festive alternative to the classic white tip and is attention-grabbing, but still toned down enough for this season,โ€ Nick Drewe.ย 

10. Black

Stand out this season and choose a black hue, which paired with a chunky knit and gold jewellery will look Pinterest ready. Go simple by creating a black french tip, or get creative with a fun design. If you want something that leans on the classy side, go for a simple matt finish.ย
