6 Trending nail colours for winter
There’s nothing quite like a fresh mani help you feel a little more cheerful on dark and gloomy winter days. That’s why we’ve rounded up 6 trending nail colours for you to try this chilly season.
1. Misty mauve
Not pink and not purple, mauve is a classy in-between shade that always seems to hit the spot — especially in the cooler months. If you prefer a lighter colour palette, try Revolution High Gloss Nail Varnish in Comet Dream. It’s got an ultra glossy finish and is enriched with avocado oil to keep your nail beds in tip-top condition. Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nail Color in Street Flair sits on the darker end of the mauve spectrum and promises to give you up to 14 days of colour payoff!
2. Dazzling chrome
Level up your basic metallic with a coat or two of bold chrome. Go classic with a golden hue like Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nail Color in Game of Chromes or try something unexpected like Revlon Holographic Nail Enamel in Blushing, a delightful shade of holographic blush pink.
3. Smokin' blues
Slightly smokey and a little mischievous, blue-grey is a moody hue that strikes the perfect balance between casual and cool. Try Mavala Nail Color Cream 238 Sao Paulo for a deep and glossy coat of colour.
4. Subtle sandstone
Low maintenance and easy to pull off, sandstone is the updated nude you need to try this winter season. Smudge Nail Lacquer in Fudged Up is fast-drying and easy to apply, Yardley Stayfast Nail Vinyl in Butterscotch Cappuccino promises not to chip or fade and Wet n Wild Wild Shine Nail Color in Yo Soy is the definition of the on-trend sandy hue in a bottle.
5. Cobalt blue
There’s something undeniably chic about deep blue toned hues and Playgirl Nail Polish in Bahrain and Essie Nail Lacquer in Aruba Blue get it just right!
6. Hot pink
Not only has fierce fuchsia been a hit on runways and red carpets, hot pink is making its rounds as one of winter’s trendiest tones for fingers and toes. Add a coat of happiness with Trind Caring Color Nail Lacquer in The Time is Now, Playgirl Nail Polish in Beijing, Revlon Super Lustrous Nail Enamel in 290 Optimistic or Essence Shine, Last & Go! Gel Nail Polish.
