The forever trend: cold tone nails

There are a few seasonal staples that are always on point. In the winter, cold tones are the perfect seasonal shades that you should do from time to time.

You can go crazy with dark blues, greens, grays, purples, and any other cold tone that strikes your fancy this winter for the perfect cool nails.

Matte and shiny combo

Another great combo for winter is the matte and shiny mix. Our personal favorite is matte nails with glossy tips, but you can use whatever combination you like. Mix up matte nail polish with a few strikes of shiny nail polish, and you are guaranteed a sophisticated yet youthful look.

Snowy metallics

Metallic French tips

The great thing about this one is that you can do it right at home! Either with nail polish or nail strips, you can get the look for less, and enjoy a stunning look manicure of your own creation.

Nude mattes

If you like even-toned nails – you have to try this trend. Warm almond and nude shades have become an instant classic over the past few weeks. This is the best option for a neutral look that gives nails a clean, esthetic look, without weighing heavy with several shades and textures.

Realistic florals

With the rain comes the blossom; one look you are going to see a lot this winter is realistic flowers. AKA moody flowers, you can have this decoration painted on your nails, or have actual flowers pressed on. Dry flowers are used to create beautiful-looking nails, and you should definitely ask your nail technician if she has any around.

Multicolored manicure

Remember the color block trend from the past few years? it has now been upgraded to a multicolor creation, resembling tie-dye. By mixing a few different colors on your nails, you can get a beautiful look. The result looks like a water painting on your nails, and what is more suitable for rainy days?

Multi-print French manicure

Ever since someone thought outside the box and did French tips that are not all-white – the tip trend has boomed. Nowadays, nail tips do not have to be in white shades or in one shade at all. One of the best trends with French tips is the multi-print manicure: swirls, flowers, stars, squares, oh my! The possibilities are endless, and your nails will look on point with the beautiful prints available in nail salons.

Neon pop-up

Nails that are completely painted in neon nail polish can be a bit daunting. Luckily, you can partake in the neon trend without having to paint your entire fingernail in bright shades. Instead, get a few pops of color on your nail with neon patterns. It will brighten up your nails and the cold and cloudy winter days.

There you have it. Some of the most popular winter nail trends for 2021. When you get your nail care on, don't forget to give your nails a breather from time to time. Leave your fingernail bare every once in a while, so they are not covered in nail polish, that contains various chemicals. Give your nails some TLC with a cuticle conditioner, leave them as is, and move on to the next manicure trend. This winter is going to be hot.
