A pretty nail art design can do more than just elevate your winter outfits. They also happen to keep your mood upbeat while you’re typing away on your computer at work! And since it’s the winter (plus holiday season!), you should be continuously reminded that the next festive soiree is just a couple of hours of work away.
You can either go for full-blown winter-themed nail art or try one of these pretty, and trendy manicures ideas we picked out for you...

What started as knitted nails, has now transformed into this shimmery, soft, velvety finish that looks super glamorous. Cool, silvery shades will help bring in the whole winter-festive vibe as well. So make sure you bring more than a couple of inspiration images with you for your next nail appointment.
2. Monochrome prints

You are frankly spoilt for options while picking prints for stylish manicures. Try something new this winter and go for the monochrome print trend. Prints created with varying shades of the same colour can be a good change from the MANY colourful, printed nail arts you see around. Plus, we find this cow print totally adorable and too cute to ignore.
3. Chocolate nails

If you’re a fan of patterned nail art designs, this one should be right up your ally. Abstract nail art gives you the freedom to play around with shapes, placements and most importantly, they leave room for messing up! After all, abstract designs don’t need to follow rules or look like anything at all. Just make sure you’re using a proper base to make your abstract designs pop. The rest can be all fun and games!
