Snowy, Jelly and Jeweled: 6 Winter Manicure Ideas

Snowy, Jelly and Jeweled: 6 Winter Manicure Ideas

Winter is the time when you can finally try all the manicure ideas you've been putting off all year: you need to cheer yourself up, corporate events are coming up and, of course, the New Year's party. Spletnik tells you about the hottest manicure trends and the products you can use to try them yourself.

Silver

When else to do a sparkling manicure if not on the eve of the New Year? It does not necessarily have to be fireworks on the nails - you can choose calm shades that will not look too provocative for business days, but will still be appropriate for a party. And this option looks great on nails of any shape.

Nail polish Golden Rose Price: 225 rub.

Nail polish Chatte Noire Price: 282 rub.

Holographic

Don't want to limit yourself to "snow color"? No need. Multicolored glitter will lift your spirits even in the most difficult moments (for example, when you have to submit an annual report). This manicure looks intriguing due to its ability to reflect light and looks good in any shade. Our favorite is in emerald tones as a tribute to the snake, the symbol of the coming year.

Nail polish Chatte NoirePrice: 414 rub.

Nail polish YllozurePrice: 493 rub.

Nail polish Chatte Noire Price: 498 rub.

"Jelly" in dark tones

Deep dark shades look elegant both on their own and because of the texture that nail artists have dubbed "jelly." This winter, we're choosing gemstone tones — ruby, emerald, and, of course, sapphire. "Gemstone colors are elegant and luxurious. Plus, they add brightness to cold, dark days," says Miami-based nail artist Sydney Fisher.

Nail polish EMI Price: 350 rub.

Nail polish Kiko Milano Price: 479 rub.

Nail polish EMI Price: 502 rub.

Shimmering red

Manicure "in Russian style" using all sorts of shades of red has long become a classic for those who are not afraid to stand out, but want to do it organically. On the eve of the New Year, it is worth adding a touch of celebration - choose shimmering shades of red.

Limoni MegaShine Nail PolishPrice: 387 Rubles.

Nail polish EMI Price: 502 rub.

Black

Black manicure is an option for winter, because in summer we want something bright and colorful. But in winter we can afford something more spectacular. Masters advise not to limit yourself to the classic option and add a holographic coating on top of the black.

Nail polish Yllozure Price: 611 rub.

Nail polish IQ Beauty Price: 590 rub.

Nail polish Global FashionPrice: 194 rub.

Blue-violet

If you're already tired of just dark blue, look for a new take on this "winter" shade. As nail artists promise, closer to the New Year, the entire Instagram* will be full of manicure ideas with this shade, which is "a combination of elegance with a touch of avant-garde."

Nail polish Golden Rose Price: 100 rub.

Essie Nail PolishPrice: 1,009 rub.
