You may be bundled up from head to toe during the cold winter months, but you can still show off beautifully manicured hands. Here are five fabulous nail colours to make your fingertips stand out.
True blue
Looking for a colour that’s not too dark, not too bright, but something in between? Try “Butler Please” (beauty salons, $8), a bright blue shade from Essie’s winter collection that will make your nails look utterly chic.
Lady in red
From Sephora X’s Cosmics collection comes “Power Hungry” (sephora.ca, $14), a gorgeous ruby-red glitter lacquer that coats nails with high-coverage pigment and sparkle. You’ll be impressed with the long-lasting wear and anti-chip UV protection — perfect for ladies who only get around to doing their nails every once in a while.
Grey is great
When you’re opting for a subdued look on wintry days, reach for NARS’ opaque nail polish in “Storm Bird” (narscosmetics.ca, $21), a glossy nail polish in shark grey. It may look like the colour of the sky on a dreary day, but we promise — your nails will look anything but dull.
Barely there
The American Idol judge has recently launched the OPI Mariah Carey Collection, and expect these nail colours to be as bright, bold and glamorous as the diva extraordinaire herself. Our favourite from the collection is “A Butterfly Moment” (beauty salons, $11), a frosty tan nude shade that goes well with any outfit.
Flirt with fuchsia
You can always count on MAC to be on the pulse of the hottest looks for the season. The “Girl About Town” nail lacquer (maccosmetics.com, $19) is a bright fuchsia colour in a cream finish that’s sure to get noticed wherever you go.
