When it comes to winter nail polish colors, one can argue that anything goes. Whether a little bit glam or a little bit goth, winter nail colors are always a striking signal of the season. Some match their dusk-by-five surroundings with a navy blue or a vampy bordeaux, while others reflect a certain attitude or emotional expression. For example, a vinyl midnight manicure is a timeless classic in the fashion and music worlds.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started doing my own nails and wearing black and dark blue colors when I was 12 years old,\u201d says Desire frontwoman Megan Louise, who we caught stepping off a flight from Paris after DJ\u2019ing Chanel\u2019s store reopening on Rue Saint Honor\u00e9 this week. At the time, her mother disapproved, and now, \u201cI still think it makes me feel a bit rebellious going on 37,\u201d says Louise. \u201cThe dark nail is your little black dress, after all.\u201d She has worn Chanel\u2019s Le Vernis in Rhythm, a celestial blue, for as long as she can remember, and the Herm\u00e8s polish in Brun Bistre that hasn\u2019t left her mind since she stumbled on it during her European tour: \u201cMy Berlin friend Ava Vegas had it on her coffee table, and I just had to try it\u2014the brown metallic color appears really lush and rich, the perfect combo for a moody winter look.\u201d For nail artist Holly Falcone, who keyed New York Fashion Week shows for Sandy Liang, Batsheva, and Susan Alexandra this season, the look is a fashion staple. \u201cA dark nail is like a great leather accessory,\u201d says Falcone. \u201cIt\u2019s especially chic in the winter and translates through all the different holidays and events the season brings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then there are the optical tricks that dark nails perform. According to New York City editorial pro Jin Soon Choi, cold weather has the potential to \u201crender skin tones toward the cool side of the light spectrum, but some unexpected hues can enhance and bring out your skin\u2019s natural warmth,\u201d says Choi, who frequents Dior Vernis Nail Lacquer in Nuit, a deep red, and her own Absolute Black polish for the season. \u201cDarker colors are also always flattering to every nail shape, short or long,\u201d says nail artist Sonya Belakhlef, who works with clients like Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michaela Jae Rodriguez, and Natasha Lyonne. They point to the dark-wave, Matrix<\/em>-centric, and emo-revival moments happening on runways and red carpets as proof that it\u2019s more than a seasonal shift. \u201cFashion is getting \u2018edgier,\u2019 so dark nails have been in,\u201d says Belakhlef. \u201cBut it\u2019s easy to justify it in the winter!\u201d<\/p>\n

But the winter months don\u2019t always call for something deep and moody. There are a couple of bright sleeper hits that always make their way into our nail rotations. (Think classic whites and iridescent metallics). You can\u2019t really go wrong this winter season, but if you need some nail ideas to get those creative juices flowing, you\u2019ve come to the right spot. Here, the pros share the winter nail colors they\u2019re wearing and using on clients.<\/p>\n

Deep Red<\/h2>\n

Think of your classic red and go a shade or two darker for your winter nail look. \u201cThese iconic deep reds never go out of style,\u201d says Soon. \u201cThey are the most recognized color in fashion among models and fashionistas.\u201d Falcone adds: \u201cA deep, vampy red is always in for a sultry winter,” and is even better when \u201cused for a moody French manicure.\u201d To play off of changing temperatures, Belakhlef likes Cirque Colors polish in Rothko Red, which \u201cchanges to dark oxblood red when cold and bright crimson red when warm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Absolute Black<\/h2>\n

Pushing red carpet ensembles to the very edge, black digits have recently been spotted on everybody from Olivia Rodrigo to Diane Keaton. Falcone describes the short onyx nail as \u201ca clean look with a slightly rebellious edge\u201d and likes an ultraglossy finish with a top coat like Orly\u2019s\u00a0Shining Armor\u00a0quick-dry formula, \u201cso the black looks creamy and shiny rather than dull.\u201d Soon notes that black nails work for everyone\u2014like a tailored suit. \u201cThey are so rich that they starkly contrast with many skin tones, much like a black wardrobe does,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Midnight Blue<\/h2>\n

Navy and night-sky blues are the choice of new romantics\u2014like Louise\u2019s favorite Chanel polish in\u00a0Rhythm, a shade the musician is unabashedly obsessed with. Belakhlef describes Les Mains Herm\u00e8s Nail Enamel in\u00a0Bleu Encre\u00a0as \u201cthe dark and intense blue of the receding night at the break of dawn.\u201d And for the season, Falcone points out that \u201cmidnight blues always reflect the cold weather and are somewhat expected for winter.\u201d But in the spirit of adding a touch of heat, she pays close attention to the undertones. \u201cI like a royal blue with a slight warm undertone to it, so the look isn\u2019t so chilly,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Evergreen<\/h2>\n

Not too far off from the classic jewel tone emerald green, mossy evergreen nails are what Falcone describes as \u201cmidnight greens\u201d; they look best in intensely pigmented shades with a glassy finish. (Interestingly,\u00a0Taylor Swift has been\u00a0wearing the hue\u00a0on- and offstage for years.) \u201cMidnight greens are perfect for the cold weather,\u201d says Falcone. \u201cIt\u2019s actually really earthy, like the forest outside a winter cabin.\u201d For wet-look shine, Orly\u2019s\u00a0Glosser\u00a0top coat creates a protective barrier with a salon finish at home.<\/p>\n

Chocolate Brown<\/h2>\n

The cocoa shade of Les Mains Herm\u00e8s Nail Enamel in Brun Bistre that drew in Louise and fellow musician Vegas is setting the tone. \u201cRichly pigmented chocolate metallic shimmer is the perfect nail color to evoke the coziness of the season,\u201d says Belakhlef. They describe Orly\u2019s metallic Stop the Clock lacquer as \u201ca perfect luxurious neutral for those looking to add some interest without straying too far from the classics.\u201d And for those who prefer a sparkle-free finish, there\u2019s power in its depth. \u201cI love a grayish brown as a dark neutral shade for winter,\u201d says Falcone. \u201cIt\u2019s like a dark taupe that reads neutral and is flattering when we lose our summer tans.\u201d Plus, there\u2019s just something so warm about a chocolate brown to bring on all the cozy winter vibes.<\/p>\n

Metallic Charcoal<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s something a bit sci-fi about the metallic charcoal nail that feels particularly relevant this season\u2014blame the Beyonc\u00e9 Renaissance world tour or Rabanne’s beauty launch. Belakhlef calls a \u201cnear-black holo a must\u201d and dubs KBShimmer\u2019s Stark Raven Mad a favorite. \u201cIn the light, the linear holo comes through, adding a pop of rainbow goodness,\u201d they promise.<\/p>\n

Winter White<\/h2>\n

A white nail is a winter classic\u2014and can also help warm up your skin tone. \u201cBy winter, many of us have lost our summer glow. Wearing white nail polish can add a tiny bit of color back into our skin,\u201d says celebrity manicurist and educator Mimi D. \u201cPlus, it\u2019s a shade that looks good on everyone.\u201d\u00a0Her favorite shades include Orly\u2019s Snow Angel or OPI\u2019s Chill \u2018Em With Kindness. To make sure your white manicure stays intact for as long as possible, she recommends capping the edges of your nails when polishing.<\/p>\n

Glittery Gold<\/h2>\n

What better way to brighten a gloomy winter day than with a bright, shiny gold nail? \u201cI love gold and other shimmery colors because when the light hits it, it instantly boosts my mood,\u201d says Mimi D. \u201cThere are so many levels to gold. You can do a chunky gold glitter or a chrome look to add some sparkle to your outfit.\u201d\u00a0She recommends polishes like the CND Vinylux in It\u2019s Getting Golder or the OPI Nail Lacquer in Five Golden Rings to get that sparkly yellow\u2014either light or deep-toned\u2014for some added glamour to your winter nail this holiday season.<\/p>\n

Silver Chrome<\/h2>\n

Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s influence is everywhere at all times, but Renaissance silver especially makes for the perfect nail color this wintertime. \u201cI love this on short and long nails,\u201d says celebrity manicurist Brittney Boyce, \u201cSilver chrome is bold for a color choice, but very in style.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Boyce, whose famous clientele includes Megan Fox and Kim Kardashian, recommends asking your technician to use chrome powder with your gel nail (\u201cThis color is hard to do on your own,\u201d she explains) to get that iridescent sheen. But an easy way to replicate it at home is using a polish like Apr\u00e9s Gel Couleur in New Year Wishes or Olive & June\u2019s OJPAS, both of which deliver cool metallic shine. Pro tip: nail prep is the most important step for keeping that silver looking shiny and bright. She says to file, shape, and buff your natural nail bed and to use a base and topcoat.<\/p>\n

Soft Mauve<\/h2>\n

According to celebrity nail artist and educator Julie Kandalec, we\u2019ll be turning to soft mauves as our new neutrals this winter. In what she calls \u201cvintage-inspired\u201d and \u201cunderstated,\u201d this muted pinky-purple makes for a perfect nail look that matches everything. \u201cMauve shades of the \u201890s are back in a big way,\u201d says celebrity nail artist and educator Julie Kandalec. \u201cThey\u2019re a throwback yet a nail color that we haven\u2019t seen in a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can turn to a shade like the Herm\u00e8s Les Mains Herm\u00e8s Nail Enamel in Rose Ramise, which Kandalec calls a \u201cgorgeous soft mauve.\u201d We also like Olive & June\u2019s Fig Ranch for a mauve with deep undertones or Chanel\u2019s Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour in Sorci\u00e8re. JINSoon\u2019s Moxie is a pretty lilac mauve shade that\u2019s bright and fun.<\/p>\n

Dark Plum<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re looking to go deep and moody, opt for a dark plum violet. Kandalec recommends something like Chanel\u2019s Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour in Storyteller for a deep violet that gives romantic gothic vibes. You can also look to Deborah Lippmann\u2019s nail polish in Pose, Addiction Tokyo\u2019s Cherry Cocktail, or the classic Essie\u2019s Wicked for that dark plum shade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Pro-Tip: She recommends shaking the bottle to make sure the pigments and solvents in the formula are mixed properly to get the right consistency. And you\u2019ll also want to cap the free edge of the nail to help prolong your mani.<\/p>\n

Pink Pearl<\/h2>\n

Want to go bright and fun for the colder months? A summer nail trend that you can take with you to the colder months, says Kandalec, is a sheer pink pearl shade. She recommends Chanel\u2019s Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour in Songe D\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 for a fresh spin on the classic pearl iridescent we\u2019re used to seeing. \u201cIt\u2019s [also] incredibly versatile in its layering capabilities,\u201d she adds. We also like Cote\u2019s Pink Opal, Nails Inc. Shells Aloud Iridescent Nail Polish, or OPI\u2019s I Meta My Soulmate to get that glittery effect with a pink tint for a really pretty nail look.<\/p>\n

4-Dimension Metallic<\/h2>\n

Metallics make for the perfect winter nail; with their shimmer finish and high shine, it really does brighten up any look (and when it\u2019s cold and dreary, it\u2019s a welcome feeling). Celebrity nail artist Emi Kudo predicts that we\u2019ll take metallics a step further with metallics that have an array of shades built-in. Kudo recommends something like Chanel\u2019s Les Vernis in Alchemiste, which she says gives you a luxe, futuristic effect. She also likes Apr\u00e9s Nails Astral collection in Aces and Strength that shifts between light and dark when the light hits it.<\/p>\n

Plum Burgundy<\/h2>\n

But for winter 2025, swap dark burgundy for a more purple leaning plum shade. She recommends a shade like Dior\u2019s Nuit (\u201c[It\u2019s] rich, elegant, and slightly mysterious for the colder season,\u201d she says) or Manicurist\u2019s Prune for its rich plum undertone.<\/p>\n
