In these cold, dreary days of winter, we’re feeling a bit uninspired when the manicurist instructs us to pick a hue from the shelves. Yes, we miss the punchy brights that complement our tan. And though an oxblood red is timeless, we’re itching to mix things up a bit. That’s where these seven trending colors come in (along with which nail shapes they look best on).
Dark, Glittery Navy: Short, square nails.
Warm, Opaque Beige: Trim, natural-shaped nails.
Charcoal Grey: Rounded nails.
Classic Apple Red: Any nail shape or length.
Metallic Silver: Short and natural nails.
Seafoam Green: Any nail shape or length.
Glitter-Packed Nail-Art Topcoats: Any nail shape or length.
