The 6 Hottest Winter Nail Trends To Warm Up Your Cold Hands

As the seasons change, so does every single part of your beauty routine. Your skincare regimen adjusts to accommodate the colder climate, you shift your makeup looks from warm and glowy to more cooler tones and matte finishes, and of course, you switch up your nail colors to reflect the moody nature of the season. And while there are staples that you can revisit each and every year — like deep vampy tones, sparkles, and holiday-themed art — this year's winter nail trends are even more fun. "Winter nail art designs don't always have to be 'winter wonderland,' 'dark shades,' or 'Christmas sparkle'," says CND Education Ambassador Samantha Birkett-Leigh. "In fact, in the salon, I very rarely get asked for typical winter designs. I have also seen a shift across social media during these last few years."She continues, "Nail professionals and clients alike are much more up for something original, and seem to follow on trend fashion designers they are seeing during fashion week and in glossy magazines. They are taking inspiration from art galleries, pottery, and nature."Below, take a look at a few of this year's top nail trends, according to some of the most in-demand nail artists and educators in the industry.
