Winter manicures can be tough. Do you go for the obvious, bright red for all your Christmas parties, or opt for a metallic to ring in the New Year? There are a lot of options, and that can mean feeling overwhelmed when picking your next manicure for the winter. The good news is, though, that there are new and interesting options that will help you look equally put together at your family holiday get together, your rocking New Year’s Eve party, and beyond. If you’re scouring Instagram for your next manicure and still feeling lost, here are the best nail trends for winter.

Simple ballerina pink is classic and trendy

A light, lovely ballerina pink is a classic for a reason. Not only are pastels charming in the winter, but ballet slipper pink is always a go-to around Christmastime (because of the Nutcracker, of course). But it’s not just a sweet, girly Christmas-themed nail color; it’s elegant and looks amazing all year, including the rest of winter. Not only that, it looks a lot like the trending princess nails look. It’s both a timeless classic and an ultra-trendy winter nail look.

Frosty top coats are in for winter

Along with ballerina pink, frosty top coats are another great look for the colder months. A frosty sheen is reminiscent of frost on a window pane, which is, of course, perfect for winter. Something else to note, this frosty look has a definite Y2K vibe, so it’s going to have a trendy edge. And, in case you needed any other reasons to try out frosty nails, Hailee Bieber, the nail-trend queen herself, has been seen rocking them, too. 

Rock a shimmery chestnut brown to look put-together and fun

Maybe you want your chestnuts roasting on an open fire, or maybe you don’t, and you’d much rather rock a shimmery chestnut brown manicure. This neutral looks festive during Christmas, and it can also look great for the duration of winter, too. A rich, shiny brown can coordinate with so many different looks, making it a super versatile neutral. Paired with gold jewelry, it can take on a funky, warm, and retro vibe. If you’d rather rock silver jewelry, it can also look incredibly sophisticated and put-together.
