Winter comes with snow, holiday parties, cozy nights by the fire—and of course, some of the best nail trends we’ll see all year. “Moving into the winter season always means a few things: There will be red and there will be glamour,” says Essie Global Lead Educator Rita Remark. “Every year comes with its own variations, but those are two you can always depend on.”
The end of 2023 and early 2024 months will be sprinkled with sparkle (naturally), but we’ll also see a return to classic colors and shapes. Warm, solid shades like dark green, chocolate brown, and even jet black are poised for a takeover. Nail art is much less graphic than years past, instead relying on funky nail shapes and gradient blends for a pop of personality. Simplistic doesn’t indicate a bland approach though. We’ll see experimentation with different toppers and finishes and classy 3D adornments over the course of the next few weeks.
