Winter style gets us all jazzed about snuggling up in cozy sweaters, stepping into snug boots, and wrapping up in stylish coats.
And I can round off the outfit perfectly with a matching manicure and pedicure.
During winter, our feet are often hidden away in boots and socks, but that doesn’t mean we should neglect them.

Festive Nail Art
I think Christmas colors, sparkles, snowflakes, and gold foil. Hang Nguyen, a nail artist featured in Elle, predicts that rich colors such as emerald green, burnt orange, and deep burgundy will be used to make the classic French manicure more festive.
Classic Nail Art
If you prefer a more classic look, I recommend to try a black and white striped nail design or a classic French manicure. You can also experiment with negative space or ombre effects for a modern twist on a classic look.
Modern Nail Art
For a more modern look, try a two-toned design or polka dots. Park Eunkyung for example suggests trying a negative space design with a pop of color or a metallic finish.
DIY Nail Art
If you’re feeling crafty, try some DIY nail art. You can use stickers, studs, crystals, pearls, or rhinestones to create your own unique design. Try experimenting with different shapes and colors to create a one-of-a-kind look.
Embellished Nail Art
If you are searching for a more glamorous look, try embellished nail art. You can add crystals, pearls, or rhinestones to your design for a touch of luxury. You can also experiment with different textures, such as velvet or suede, for a unique look.
Choosing the Right Nail Polish
Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect polish for your winter toes.
Consider the Occasion
The first thing to consider when choosing a winter nail polish is the occasion. If you’re attending a formal event, a classic red or black polish with a metallic finish can be a great choice. On the other hand, if you’re going for a more casual look, muted blues or shades of nude can be a great option.
Experiment with Shimmer
If you’re looking to add some sparkle to your winter toes, consider a shimmer polish. Gold glitter can be a great choice for the holiday season, while a subtle shimmer can add some interest to a classic red or black polish.
Try Something New
Winter is a great time to experiment with new colors and finishes. If you’re feeling adventurous, try a trendy emerald polish or a black licorice shade. These bold colors can be a great way to add some personality to your winter look.
And if it doesn’t work as desired: no problem, as you can hide your toenails very well in winter!
Don’t Forget About Maintenance!
Finally, as always, it’s important to consider maintenance when choosing a winter nail polish. Metallic finishes and glitter polishes can be more difficult to remove, so keep that in mind when making your selection. Additionally, make sure to use a top coat to help your polish last as long as possible.
Overall and to finally sup up, choosing the right nail polish for winter is all about finding a shade that makes you feel confident and stylish.
Winter Pedicure Tips
And no matter which style you choose: the right pedicure is key!
Keep Your Feet Moisturized
The cold, dry air of winter can be tough on your skin, especially your feet. To keep them soft and smooth, make sure to moisturize regularly. Look for a rich, emollient foot cream that contains ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil. Apply it at night before bed and wear cotton socks to help lock in the moisture.
Don’t Forget the Cuticles
Dry, cracked cuticles can be painful and unsightly. To prevent this, make sure to keep them moisturized with a cuticle oil or cream. Apply it daily and gently push back the cuticles with an orange stick to keep them looking neat and tidy.
Consider a Winter Manicure
While you’re updating your pedicure routine, don’t forget about your hands, too! A winter manicure can complement your pedicure and complete your winter look. Try some of the same colors and styles you used for your pedicure, or experiment with something new. InStyle has a list of 40 winter nail designs to try now that can give you some great ideas.
