I just turned on the heat in my apartment, which means one thing: winter is coming. With a new season comes a great deal of change. We’re swapping out our sandals for leather boots, margarita-fueled happy hours for wine nights at home, and fall nail art for a cold-weather color palette. The transition from fall to winter is the ideal time to change up your nail game and start fresh. Luckily, this season’s best nail art and designs are super versatile, so there’s something for everyone. Think: fine line detailing, moody nail polish shades, and subtle shimmers. Whether you’re into a DIY mani or looking for inspiration to bring to the salon, ahead, we’ve rounded up the seven best winter nail art designs that’ll make all your hometown friends jealous.
