Mind you: I first wrote this post in 2019, but I’m updating this post every year to fit the trends. So this post is totally up to date!
I’m not following the trends all the time, but I like to do my research on nail trends so I know which nail colors for winter are trending this season. I have my favorite colors (I just love pink/mauves), but I love to pop on a trending color now and then. I wear acrylics, so I can also ask my nail tech to do some nail art if I want to; one of the things I like most about going to the nail salon! In today’s post, I’ll share some trending nail colors this season and some cool nail art you can DIY or go to the nail salon.
In this upcoming winter season of 2022/2023, we see the trend of minimalistic, nude nails continue. The baby boom nails, Hailey Bieber’s nude chrome nails, and the colored French Manicure is still going nowhere! What you will see is that people may change up the colors, as gorgeous brown nails, baby blue, soft pink, and purple are trendy this winter. The OG black nails or red tips are also very popular.
Even though the designs are pretty minimalistic and simple this year, glitters are still trendy, and you will still see super cute Christmas design nails – just more on the minimalistic side with nude tones.

As you can tell based on the designs, we’re going minimalistic chic this year! I really love the idea of chrome nails but with a different color, maybe baby blue or purple? I think those would look so good! What are your favorite nail colors for winter? Do you go for a design or just a plain but gorgeous nail color? Let me know in the comments!
omg I kept scrolling and thinking “this is my fave” no “this is my fave” lol! But DAMN that cobalt blue ???
Loool same! That cobalt blue is so stunning omg ?
Oh I think that green, glittery, and taupe one is my fave! I also reallllllly like that deep purple and the deep burgundy. I love when it’s winter because then the darker colors are more common lol.
