7 Winter Nail Polish Colors to Upgrade Your Holiday Manicure
We've already started decorating for the holidays and listening to Christmas music, so it's only natural that our seasonal mani shade is on our minds. This year's winter wonderland of nail polishes includes a lot of what you would expect for this time of year, glitter, red, and green, but with a few new trends to jingle things up. Sparkly and metallic finishes, like tinsel, twinkling lights, and sparkling new-fallen snow are synonymous with the holiday season, so we weren't too surprised to see many nail polish brands releasing all the glitz in their holiday collections. Shop these lacquers now for your DIY manicures or to bring them into your salon.
Shiny Red
If you're feeling like a classic holiday manicure with a touch of glam, try this vibrant red. This bold red is not only a traditional Christmassy color, but it also still has a hint of shimmer to glam up the look.
Silver Metallic
You can't go wrong asking for this festive yet subtle silver metallic polish at your next salon trip. If you feel like the solid manicure is still a bit too bold, try using a metallic polish as a design accent or for a skinny French manicure, which is basically the same as a traditional French mani but with a thinner line of polish for the tip.
Glittery Pine Green
We are certainly not keeping our love for this gorgeous green polish under wraps. This winter line from Essie is packed with every glitter-infused holiday hue you could wish for from Santa, and we definitely have this dark green shade on our list.
Silky Brown
A silky brown shade is an unexpected color to rock during the holiday season. One buyer gives the polish a 5-star rating and writes, "This dark chocolatey brown is great for fall and winter… Softer than black and looks good with everything. Love it!"
Deep Plum
Put a sassy spin on the traditional holiday nail trend with an amethyst, eggplant, or plum color like this one. It's a sophisticated hue that's bold but not overpowering. This shade is from OPI's Scotland Collection, which is full of rich, highly-pigmented colors.
Warm Gold Glitter
If you're ready to go all-out with the glitz for your holiday manicure this year, paint on this fine gold glitter polish. With a holographic lacquer, you'll certainly be the life of any holiday party. One buyer who gave the shade a 5-star review was pleased with all the compliments she received and the longevity of the polish. "I wore this polish for almost a month," they write. "[I] received many compliments."
Rose Gold Metallic
Breaking news: Pink Christmas decorations are going to be everywhere this year. Translate the trend into your holiday fashion with this rose gold metallic polish from Olive & June. It's the perfect combination of glam elegance.
