True Winter colour lovers like a lot of different nail polish colours, like royal purple and ruby red. There are a lot of choices for people who like neutral colours. There are actually more shades of white than you might think for people who like cool tones. Anyone who has seen snow fall and sparkle in the sun before it melts knows this is true. Grey tones are the same. The range of burgundy shades, from cranberry to deep berry and merlot, is just as impressive. Valeriia Telemaniuk, a world champion nail artist and beauty teacher, told Byrdie that the winter season makes her want to go back to classic nail looks. This means that French manicures and different shades of grey and blue will be in style. Deep red colours, both bright and soft, will also be very popular in the next few months. Find out where to buy these colours and what the most popular nail colours for this winter are, according to professional nail artists.
Ganache de Chocolate
Ganache nails are replacing brownie custard nails as a winter favourite. Sofiia Mazur, a nail artist and teacher, says that this colour is a rich, dark brown that looks like melted dark chocolate. Think of colours like Dazzle Dry’s Fringe or Red Iguana’s Ganache gel. The colour is warm and rich, making it perfect for colder months or anyone who likes simple elegance. Ganache gives nails a quiet confidence that is both elegant and inviting. It goes well with gold jewellery, soft neutral clothes, or simple black outfits, making it a classic and flexible choice.
Berry with a Soft Touch
This season, deeper, more stable colours are becoming more popular. According to Juanita Huber-Millet, the founder and creative director of Townhouse Salons, clients are choosing espresso browns, soft mauves, and muted berry tones. These colours are warm and classy at the same time, and they’re not too bright for everyday wear. Muted berries, especially, are a more sophisticated option than brighter reds. They add depth without being too strong.
Light Blue Ocean
Another colour to look out for is light ocean blue with a pearlescent finish. Amy Ling Lin, a nail artist, says these soft blues are peaceful, bright, and uplifting. Sundays Studio’s L09 is a lighter colour that is a nice change from the darker colours that are common in winter. The pearl finish is very delicate and reflects light in a way that adds depth and a soft glow. This colour has a calming, airy, and quietly happy energy that makes you feel good, but it also looks sleek and modern.
Grey that is Cool
Cool grey is becoming a popular neutral colour for winter. Coca Michelle, OPI’s Global Ambassador, says that this colour is stylish and classy and goes with winter clothes easily. Cool grey also makes jewellery look better, especially for people who like to mix metals. Some of the best choices are OPI’s Peace of Mined, Case of Glamnesia, and Suzi Talks with Her Hands. All of these have smooth, flexible finishes.
