The Winter season is officially among us and that means it’s time to switch up our manicure routine and embrace new colors! With the Holidays just around the corner, I have also included my most favorite festive and sparkly shades!
The Colors
1. Burberry Iconic Colour No. 449 Festive Gold ($22)
This limited edition lacquer gives nails a three-dimensional wash of color. Perfect for both the Holiday and Winter season, “Festive Gold” has a long-lasting high gloss finish as well as accelerated drying times. Buy at Nordstrom.
2. Sally Hansen Miracle Gel “Game of Chromes” ($7)
One of my favorite nail polishes on the market right now is Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel line. The two step process requires that you apply the Miracle Gel top coat over top to seal in color for a long-lasting finish of up to 14 days – and I can attest to this! It really did last a full two weeks for me and the colors are highly pigmented and easy to apply. My personal favorite color for the Winter season is “Game of Chromes”. Buy at Walmart.com.
3. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics “Silence” ($10)
Formulated with dense pigmentation and and intense color, the Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Nail Lacquers are a must-have in your collection. The brand even launches colors that match a lip tar, which is super cool. “Silence” is a beige shimmer polish that offers just the right amount of sparkle to be worn for day and night. Buy at Nordstrom.
4. Butter London “Henley Regatta” ($15)
Butter London’s vitamin-infused formula not only promotes nail strength but also contains a highly-pigmented formula to give you a professional manicure look from home. “Henley Regatta” is such an amazing teal-green shade with tons of sparkles and glitz that would lift anyone’s spirits from any winter blues. Buy at Nordstrom.
5. Hard Candy “Bronze” ($4)
I’ve recently discovered the Hard Candy brand and have really come to love their nail lacquers. “Bronze” is a beautiful copper shade with lots of sparkle. It especially is flattering on a variety of skin tones, which is super important in the winter when we all lose our beloved tans! Buy at Walmart.com
6. Dolce & Gabbana “Anise” 715 ($27)
If you thought pastels were only reserved for the warmer seasons then think again. Dolce & Gabbana’s “Anise” is a stunning grey/blue shade that could not be more fitting for the winter season. Buy at Nordstrom.
7. TRUE Isaac Mizrahi “Darling Plum” ($10)
Isaac Mizrahi line of high-shine nail lacquers come in such an awesome variety of colors and are also chip and water-resistant. “Darling Plum” is a classic burgundy shade that isn’t too light or dark, making it perfect for the transition from warm to chilly temperatures. Buy at IsaacMizrahi.com.
8. Tom Ford “Smoke Red” ($35)
Everyone needs a classic shade of red in their nail polish collection, and Winter is the perfect time to rock the daring color. Tom Ford’s “Smoke Red” is an extravagant and amplified true red that stays color true throughout wear and offers a high-shine finish. Buy at Nordstrom.
9. NARS “Manosque” ($20)
NARS “Manosque” is a cool cashmere purple that has a cream finish. The slightly darker hue makes this purple the perfect choice for a color to rock this Winter for a freshly painted look that lasts. Buy at Nordstrom.
10. Inglot Matte It Be “537” ($17)
The Inglot Matte It Be nail lacquers are super awesome because they actually dry matte, so there’s no need for a separate matte top coat. The colors in this collection are named after numbers, and “537” is a gorgeous greyish purple that provides quick and even coverage on nails. Buy at inglotusa.com.
