19 winter nail designs that will get you feeling festive
Sure, it's always cold and the days get dark really early, but don't let those small things take the sparkle off winter. It's a joyous time of year, with hot cups of cocoa, puffer jackets and red noses aplenty. And it goes without saying - every season change demands a manicure modification...
The time is now to get your fingers looking wonderfully festive. But what about our cute autumnal orange nails!? we hear you cry. Sorry, it's time to say your goodbyes.
If there's ever a time to be extra with your mani - it's in the run up to Christmas. Gold, silver, sparkles, super-long acrylics, festive nail art - to sum up: go big or go home. We adore @nailsbymei's offering (it looks as though the nail tips have been dipped in champagne), and if you're a Harry potter fan, you might want to check out @Sayyesnails' Dobby The Elf inspired nail art - genius.
Even if you're not up for some wild winter nail art, we've included some lewks for the more conservative folks out there (check out @p._panther_'s subtle accent nail, and the milky ombre design by @nailsbymei that looks like a beautiful snow drift). There's also plenty of inspo for acrylic nails, gel nails and natural nails - so whatever your taste or nail shape, there really is something for everyone.
Now dust off those white, red and glitter nail polishes 'cause you're gonna need them...
