Get ready to find that perfect combination of color and design with this guide to adapting your nails to the time of year.

1. Dressing Up Your Manicure with the Seasons

We love changing up our nail polish with the seasons – there’s nothing like a brand new manicure to get us in the right headspace. When it comes to sprucing up your mani with the changing seasons, there are a million different ways to put together timeless looks with a modern twist. Here are a few of our favorite nail trends for each season:

• Winter: Half-moon manicures are cozy and retro-inspired, which is perfect for winter. A classic white or ivory base with an oligarch gold crescent tip is festive and festive, and a sophisticated look for a night out.
• Spring: A light springy manicure features pastel shades like bubblegum pink, baby blue, and lilac. We love to mix-and-match a few colors for a multi-dimensional look. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different shapes, too, like half-moon, ombre, and French tips.
• Summer: Summer is all about daring, bright, and fun. Try a neon yellow or candy-apple red with an accent of sparkling gold. Or, why not try a chevron design on an iridescent base for a fun seaside-inspired look?
• Autumn: When it comes to autumn, we love to keep the mani classic and romantic. Rich colors like russet, shimmery copper, and deep forest green set the perfect fall mood. Try mixing a few shades on one nail and go for an edgy twist on a French manicure.

Adding tiny details like glittery accents or different shapes is one of the best ways to make your manicure stand out. No matter the season, keep experimenting – and always incorporate a little sparkle for extra sophistication.

Let your manicure work for you. Try doubling-up your colors or shapes and add textural elements with a matte finish. We promise you’ll find your next signature mani in no time.

2. The Rise of Colorful Autumnal Nail Art

The days start to cool off and the leaves begin to change – Autumn is here! And with changing weather, comes changing trends in fashion and beauty.

Nail art has always been popular, and as we move into the cooler months, colorful designs are making their way to our fingertips. Even if the days are short and the weather is dreary, these bright and vibrant nail art designs liven up the mood.

• Neon Cuticles – Bright colors have been trending recently, and they make the perfect design for the fall. Try a neon yellow-orange gradient, combining oranges and pinks for a look that’s perfect for the season.
• Jewel Toned Marbling – Jewel tones, like sapphire and emerald, are also making an appearance this fall. The marbled look creates an edgy and luxurious style.
• Dried Leaf Nails – Perhaps the most iconic style that reminds us of autumn is the dried leaf pattern. Recreate the fallen foliage on your nails for an inspiring take on the classic autumn style.

No matter which design you choose for your fall nails, it’s sure to bring a smile to your face on those blustery days. Vibrant colors and fun designs can help lift your mood and bring a touch of sunshine to the season.

3. Nail Trends for a Bright Winter Look

The chill of winter can often put a damper on our daily beauty routines, and our nails are no exception. But a bright, bold look for your nails is an easy way to bring a bit of cheer into the chillier season. Here are the top 3 nail trends for a bold look this winter:

Chrome Accents– Adding accents of chrome to your nails will elevate your look and bring the perfect touch of glamour. This is easy to achieve with specialty caviar nails or using stick-on chrome accents.

Glittery Details– If you’re looking to make your nails the talk of the town, why not go for a sparkling winter wonderland effect? Go for full coverage in a glitter polish or dab some sparsely on your accent nails for a little bit of extra sparkle in your life.

Confetti Tips– Bold and fun, confetti tips are the perfect way to get away with wearing bright colors without going too dramatic.

For an extra bit of flair, take your nail look up to the next level with:

• Interesting shapes
• Alternating textures
• Contrasting colors

Don’t be scared to get creative! Bright colors can bring a whole new element to your wardrobe and make winter just a little bit brighter.

4. Summertime Nails: Just Add Sparkle!

Winter Wonder Nails
When the days get shorter and the nights get colder, it can be easy to find yourself stuck in a beauty rut. Switch up your style this winter and add a touch of sparkle to your nails! Here are our best tips and tricks to achieve that winter wonder nail look.

• Opt for a sheer background color like pink, white, beige, or even a light blue.
• Choose a glittery nail polish in bright colors to make your nails stand out.
• Try a gradient look with two different colors to create an ombre effect.

Now comes the fun part – adding a little sparkle to your winter nails! Start simple with a layer of glitter nail polish to create a subtle shimmer. For a bolder look, sprinkle loose glitter or gems directly onto the nail. If you’re feeling extra fancy, apply a thin layer of adhesive glitter on top of the nail that will sparkle in the light.

The best part is that you can accessorize your nails with any winter look you choose. We especially love pairing sparkly nails with a class styled sweater and trousers, or a cozy oversized knit. The possibilities are endless!

Don’t be afraid to get creative with your winter nail looks: layer different polishes, use nail art strips, or add gems and pearlescent colors. Have fun with it and show off your shiny winter mani!

As winter, spring, summer and fall grace us with their seasons, so too do these special nail trends give us an opportunity to express our personality and adapt our style to the time of year.
