And this year, nails are proving to be more of a delight than ever. Who among us hasn’t experienced the momentary joy of looking down in between endless meetings to a hint of shimmer, or a pop of our favorite winter nail polish peering back at us?

This season, winter nail art is all about maximum fun with minimal work. Sure, there are the beautiful deep greens and dark red nail polishes that always trend as the best winter nail colors. But there are also plenty of unexpected winter manicures you can easily paint from the comfort of your couch (preferably with a glass of wine and something feel-good pulled up on Netflix). Think glittery shades that look like sparkling Christmas lights and pair well with winter hairstyles and winter makeup, or quirky stickers that give the look of nail art without any of the fuss.

So, no matter your taste or dexterity, scroll on for the coolest winter nail ideas and holiday nail designs that’ll take you through the season and straight into 2025. Cheers to that.
