My Favorite Nail Shades for Winter

JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Reactivate it to view this content.

It’s rare that you’ll find me with bare nails. It’s also rare that an at-home manicure lasts more than 3 days 😑 So, it would stand to reason that I have quite a few options when it comes to nail polish colors. In the warmer months, I tend toward colors – bright pinks, royal blue, and the occasional white mani. But with cooler weather, I like warm greys, rich reds, and almost-blacks.

I prefer a lighter color on my toes, so the elephant grey and warm vanilla neutral get used quite often.  Likewise, I’m open to a bolder option for my finger nails, like a bright red, dark purple, and rich brownish grey. They all pair together really well, so I can mix and match my finger and toe colors, too. 
Do you tend to pick seasonal options for your nail color, or do you go with whatever you’re feeling at the time?

    I love those warm grays. I'm thinking of picking up Essie Chinchilly or Merino Cool.

    These are the perfect shades for winter. I am also more than likely to paint my nails at home and I am always looking for new colors.

    I tend to go for autumn colors all year round since that's my favorite season. You'll normally find me wearing navy blue or a shade of burgandy.

      I have asked for the link to be corrected here and on instagram. If you don't care about readers and putting out accurate information then I don't care to be a reader any longer. You've lost a blog reader, an Instagram and snapchat follower, and a jewelry purchaser.

    I'm definitely a seasonal color picker. Though I'll do a bright pink on my toes almost any time of year – adds some much needed brightness during the dreary winter and always looks great on a vacation getaway!

    I definitely pick seasonally! I have an awesome neon orange color, but I would never reach for it until summer. It just feels wrong somehow. Even when we went on a beach vacation in September I didn't feel like I could wear a bright shade!
