Winter nail ideas are everywhere on Instagram right now, from the usual darker tones to trending shapes, lengths and nail art styles. Here are some I’ll be screengrabbing and bringing to my next appointment…
This Saved by the Bell bomber jacket-style ’80s extravaganza is minimal with a hint of Art Attack. Neil Buchanan and Zach Morris would both be here for this look.
This look is two things: incredibly subtle and shockingly easy to recreate. It won’t involve two long hours in the salon, so if you’re tight for time, choose this.
This elegant and timeless look uses shade 719, Richness, to give mani glamour like only Chanel could pull off. The chestnut red is the red of the season for sure.
If you really, really want to commit to the theme, Christmas red and white Lapland-esque nails are here for you.
Sure, these might be the least practical nails since the Guinness Book of Records, but look how pretty? I love the mix of matte and sheen here too. A little shorter and the caramel colour would be a total win.
(That was to the tune of Olé, Olé in case you didn’t sing it that way…) The multi-nail ombre trend is back for winter and this neutral toned version is right up my street.
These short, glitter rose gold nails are the perfect balance for party season. You’re glam, you’re glittery, but you can still wrap presents.
