While a certain romantic event might fall in February, you don't have to partake in the rosy pinks or reds that are so synonymous with it, especially when it comes to your manicure. In fact, our beauty team have bypassed it altogether, opting instead for either milky tones or subtle, pearlescent washes.
Selecting your January and February nails can be notoriously difficult, as after the cosy, rich shades of December and entering a New Year, a change feels due. But with the winter season persisting, bright colours and pastels just feel wrong. As a team, we've been trading festive cherry reds, cosy browns and luxe burgundies for months now, and so, have indeed entered February feeling very much in need of a manicure reset. So, have all opted to keep things very chic and simple, with a few nods to the new 2026 nail trend entries.
