Let's face it. Winter can be downright depressing. It's bleak, cold and while snow looks pretty falling to the ground, after a couple of days it takes on a dingy tone. Here's how to make the best of the situation, though. By buying a selection of winter nail polish colors.
Something about the act of applying these shades makes the season brighter. Even though none of these hues can be considered bright. No, in reality they're deeper, richer, but still dynamic. You've got your trending black cherry color, a laid-back mauve, a cool gray along with a nod to Wicked. All guaranteed to help you beat the winter blues.
Naturally, most are matte. Although there's nothing that says you can't shine after the holidays are over. Something about a little shimmer reminds us of ice, especially icicles, in the best possible way, of course. Metallics are also trending on the fashion front so rocking them on your nails makes total sartorial sense.
The great thing about nail polish is that you can completely change a look for not a lot of money. The highest priced must-have shade of the season is $60. And that's just because it's Hermes. On the way opposite side of the spectrum, Mineral Fusion's Perfect Storm is on sale for just $9.99.
Ready to make winter a bit better? Here are the top winter nail polish colors to help you make it through most people's least favorite season of the year.
