Who’sbored of standard dark red nails for winter? We sure are. Enough ofthis silly nonsense. Who says fun nails are only for summer? We thinkit should be an all-year thing. So we looked around on Instagram andfound a whole bunch of cute, bright and funky nail designs that areperfectly suitable for winter. We tried to stick to winter colorpalettes, but let’s be honest, sometimes we broke those rules,because the design was just too cool to dismiss and because rules aremeant to be broken either way. So here we go. Starting from simpleand going all the way to funky – these are the best winter naildesign ideas we have found.
Simple Nail Designs
1.Let’s start nice and simple, a minimalist approach doesn’t meanyou can’t have fun with nail designs. A thin glittery line lookschic and we think covering half of your nail in foil for that frostytip look is a great idea too.
2.A bit of glitz and glam never hurt anyone, especially if you use itsparingly as an accent rather than an all-over thing.
3.White is always a good idea, especially in winter. It will go witheverything and if you play around with shapes and negative space yourmanicure will definitely stand out.
4.Here’s another simple nail design perfect for winter. Just buyglitter nail polish with interestingly shaped bits of glitter in itand you’re good to go.

6.We think wintery Zodiac constellation design can look very cute andso does the minimalist triangle one.
7.Gold starts always look good on nails, but these were particularlywell placed. And if you prefer gold lines, combining them with aforest green nail polish is a winning combo.
8.We love the tiny polka dots on the design on the left and the hexagondesign is both funky and cute at the same time.

15.Funky Zodiac manicure with bits of glitter and pastel blues andpurples. We thought it was a very wintery color palette.
16.Pearls on nails are the newest trend and we think it looks perfectfor winter. You can go for varying sizes of pearls or shape a birdout of them – either way, it looks stunning.
