One annual tip-off that winter is officially here? Swapping the bright shades, French manicures, and nude nails we’ve had in rotation for winter nail polish colors that feel more in line with sweater weather. We’re talking nail colors that look good peeking out of an oversized knit or under a sparkly clutch—or, let's be real, with the beloved sweats we still can't quit. Think of them as the mani equivalent of the first play of Mariah Carey's “All I Want for Christmas Is You”; the joy they bring is impossible to resist even if they're hidden under gloves when you're actually out and about.
With that time of year upon us, we enlisted Glamour editors, friends, and nail polish enthusiasts to share the shades they can’t wait to wear this season. While you'll find the usual wintry mix of holiday red, glitters, and dark berries perfect for winter nail designs and nail trends, there are also some more unexpected shades in the bunch—including the shade one editor chose for her recent engagement manicure. Whether you’re visiting your favorite nail artist or DIY-ing at home, read on for the best winter nail colors we'll be reaching for all season.
