Come winter, I'm always ready to switch up my manicure. To be fair, it's nothing crazy (I'm wearing a holiday red nail color as I type this). Usually, I swap my classic pink nail polish for moody winter shades like navy and forest green, but this year, there's a new trend in town that I'm so on board with. Please welcome: lace nails. With intricate, delicate patterns that look just like real lace, they are understated, sexy, and elegant. All this is to say: This manicure is winter's hottest (in more ways than one!) nail trend.
Whether you prefer a mysterious black and gray lace nail design or a fresher, lighter color palette, there are many ways to wear lace nails. They suit any nail length and shape, making them versatile and fun. To achieve a realistic look, most lace nails are created by stamping the pattern onto the nail, so even if you're not a professional nail artist, you can try this style yourself. Get ready to fall in love with lace nails, winter's sexiest and most texturally interesting nail trend, and keep scrolling for all the inspo you need before heading to the salon.
