I know we’re all counting down the days until summer, but what better way to pass the time than trying out some smokin’ hot winter nail shades?
Seeing as your hands are probably the only part of your body that isn’t covered by layers and layers of clothing, they’re the perfect place to make a statement. So flick through the gallery below and get inspired for your next mani…
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Pat on the Black
bh’s Rosie personally recommends this polish as the ideal plum colour. Don’t let the name fool you, either, it’s a warm shade and won’t look black.
The Nail Lab Metallics ($15, www.thenaillab.com.au)
Seen almost everywhere at NYFW, metallic nails are a sure-fire way to glam up any winter outfit. Pick whatever colour takes your fancy from The Nail Lab Metallics range – they’re all amazing.
Face of Australia Limited Edition Iconic Collection in Sash me!
Every girl needs a good oxblood red in her nail collection. It’s always on-trend for winter, and was seen this year on the Derek Lam and Kate Spade runways.
CND Vinylux in Peacock Plume
If you’re not into black, get your dark colour fix with a navy polish. We love the dark royal blue seen at DKNY’s Fall show this year, and with CND in Peacock Plume, you can recreate it at home.
essie partner in crime
A brown shade may not look too impressive in the bottle, but once on the nails, it screams sophisticated and chic. It applies quite darkly, like a black with burgundy undertones.
FABY Nails in Eyes of Waterlily ($19.90, faby.com.au)
While pastels have taken a bit of a backseat of late, we’re loving this lavender-like shade for winter, which may or may not have something to do with the fact that Rihanna wears it.
GlazeMe in Grape Expectations
After something to brighten up a dreary day? This purple will do it for you. It’s on the brink of neon and definitely makes a statement.
Rimmel Nail Enamel 60 Seconds in Do Not Disturb
While teal might not be everyone’s cup of tea, the blue-green concoction caught our eye at the Karen Walker Fall Show and we have fallen head over heels since.
