Winter nail designs in blue

After all rhinestones look so much like small pieces of ice. To sum up, icy blue, combined with rhinestones is definitely one of the most populars winter nail designs.

Nail designs with Christmas colors look so beautiful

Start celebrating Christmas early

In general red, green and gold are the colors of Christmas. So, naturally, these three colors are always a good choice for a winter manicure. However, you shouldn’t always stick to just these three shades. Instead, you can try and experiment. Incorporate some blue and some interesting patterns and decorations inspired by Christmas and your nails will be absolutely Instagram worthy. Furthermore, once again we mention adding a few rhinestones. They just give you nail design that extra trendiness we all need in order to properly celebrate Christmas.

Glitter is always a great idea for any nail design, especially in 2021

Add some glitter

Glitter is always a good choice for a manicure no matter what season it is. In winter, glitter reminds us of the snow, ice and little snowflakes. What’s more, we all know how extra Christmas decorations can be. So, the more glitter there is, the merrier. Therefore, glitter can look amazing on your nails throughout the winter season. Since this year is the year of French manicure and negative space nail design, you can try a French with glitter in gold, green, blue or even red. On the other hand, you can keep things minimalistic with a nude shade and add glitter on one nail or simply as a decoration tool. Either way, it will be the best winter manicure ever, perfect for the nail trends of 2021.

Winter nail designs which tell the story of the season

As we have already mentioned nail decorations are a big part of the winter manicures, which are trending in 2021. We already talked about the ones celebrating Christmas, but what about the ones, which tell the story of the season. Nowadays manicures are a real piece of art. That is why you can paint a whole winter story on your nails. Whether it’s a snowy forest or a mountain peak covered in snow, use your nails to show your real love and appreciation for the coldest, but at the same time coziest season of the year.

Keep things simple with a minimalistic nail design

Up until now all the trends we mentioned involved lots of color, decorations, glitter and rhinestones. Now it is time to show you that even more simple and minimalistic designs can be just as beautiful, if not prettier, then the ones we discussed so far. In general, we love to use vibrant, bright colors for the summer. Well, the winter nail colors are the exact opposite. In all winter nail designs you can find nude shades and more understated colors. When combined right, however, the results are absolutely breathtaking. Take for example the nail design in the photo above. The nude and white colors combine well together and the design on the ring finger reminds us of snow. What’s more, the incorporation of the snowflake decorations are the perfect finish for this minimalistic, yet gorgeous nail design.
