21 Best Winter Nail Designs That’ll Help You Sparkle All Season

“I love a deep rich burgundy paired with color blocking and line work,” says Robinson in regards to her inspiration for this look. “Together they create the perfect winter manicure.”

This abstract, geometric style design is a great go-to for beginners because it really only requires some basic painting and a little line work. So long as you have a deep red, pearlescent white, and true black polish on hand — as well as a toothpick for doing the thin stripes — you’ll be good to go.

4. Scorpio Szn Nails

Los Angeles-based nail artist Nia Ho is the brains behind this brilliant astrology-inspired look, which features cosmic details and subtle touches of sparkle. “For this Scorpio nail look, I used mostly black color on every nail, as well as some holographic black and silver glitter,” Ho tells Allure. “I also hand-drew the little stars with white nail polish and used chunky glitter to create the galaxy sky.”

You can definitely make this Scorpio-themed manicure your own by switching up the designs. That being said, you’ll want to have some black and white polish on hand, along with both fine and chunky glitter options, too. It also couldn’t hurt to get a stencil or a sticker (such as this one) for the scorpion itself.
