Holiday Nail Trends 2015: The List

You understand manis are an art in their own right if you’ve ever searched a gloss hashtag or 2. But filtering out tendencies that are outdated and navigating what is popular in a time is tough. For example:

• Are ombre claws still a thing? (The hype’s died down)
• What reddish shade really says vacation? (We’d go with poinsettia.)
• Will I poke out my eye with claws? (Likely, tbh.)

We’re breaking down the best autumn and winter nail trends, so that you can plan for pretty digits all season long. After all, when you’re bundled up head to toe, you have gotta make a statement somehow!

Winter Nail Trends 2015: Color 

Besides the typical berry colors –believe classic reds, deep magentas, black cherries and plums–you will want to place some fresh neutrals on your nail polish spinning. Try out a hunter or a navy green. For festive occasions, hit for the conventional metallic gold above your nudes.

Our top picks this year comprise Good Girl Gone Bad from Deborah Lippman and Berry Naughty out of Essie. The latter is much more of a purchase at $18 a bottle. But , you’re not going to overlook this purple every day.

You can thank the likes of Lana Del Rey to get vampy long nails but the youngest Kardashian has had a hand in talons. This holiday season, and well through next year, coffin and stiletto nails are currently providing square shapes and conventional round a run for their money. Go contemporary with either shape and allow them to grow long. Think glamour when it comes to length!

Winter Nail Trends 2015: Embellishments 

In case you can not or won’t opt for ultra long nails, attempt embellishments to bring a few fancy flair. In the rhinestones you know your salon has about deck, to chic marbling and artistic techniques like shatter finishes is oh-so-right this season. Stay by covering your claws. They’re inexpensive, versatile and you won’t owe anyone a tip in the event that you set them on yourself.
