There’s no denying that 2023 has been the year that nails have reigned supreme in the beauty world. Whether it’s celebrities stepping out on the red carpet with head-turning manicures or Instagram feeds packed with the chicest nail art, there has been an abundance of nail inspiration wherever you look. We’ve had spring’s milky nails, summer’s vibrant chrome manicures, autumn’s cinnamon-spiced tips, and now? Winter’s biggest nail trend is emerging as one to watch—the oud manicure.
