From your favourite festive patterns to avant-garde details, the manicurists in this article for Allure offer plenty of ideas to help you stand out and enhance your personality.

Winter Manicure Trends 2024

Champagne on nails

Looking for some festive sparkle? Pay attention to golden accents. Instead of a full covering of nails with glitter, masters advise you to choose thin golden stripes, the effect of "golden rain" on a transparent base or French manicure with a golden tip. Such a design is ideal for New Year's Eve night, as well as for other winter holidays.

Glass nails

This design is reminiscent of Cinderella's crystal slippers, but adapted to modern trends. Transparent nail tips with golden patterns look sophisticated and spectacular. This manicure is achieved using gel overlays and transparent lacquers, and miniature stickers are used to add glitter.

Turtle print

Tortoise nail design is synonymous with luxury. In winter 2024, it is getting new interpretations: the classic pattern is complemented by unexpected shades, such as bordeaux or dark blue. For those who want to save time, ready-made false nails with this print are available.

Chrome Accents

Chrome always remains in trend, especially in winter, when silver shades perfectly convey the atmosphere of frosty shine. The secret to this design is the combination of a black base and chrome powder, which creates a mirror-like effect.

Glitter framing

Manicure with shiny frames becomes the main accent of the season. To achieve this effect, masters recommend using black lacquer as a base and encircling the contour of the nail with large sequins. This design looks bright and festive.

Dark Galaxy

Dark gradients in the style of "galaxy" continue to gain popularity. This design combines with the winter atmosphere, creating a starry sky effect. Blue or black shades complemented with chrome details serve as a base.

Emerald and gold

Emerald is a winter season favourite thanks to its versatility. Combined with gold inlays, it reflects the atmosphere of the winter holidays. Use emerald lacquer as a base and add gold foil for a "fairytale" effect.

Frosted tips

French manicure with shiny tips is a classic winter design. Use gel polish with a glittery snow effect to create a shiny finish that's perfect for the cold season.

How to choose the perfect winter manicure

  • Colours of the season: choose rich shades such as emerald, burgundy, navy blue or silver.
  • Combinetextures: combine matte and shiny elements for a voluminous effect.
  • Personalised: choose a design that emphasises your style and mood.

Winter 2024 manicures are a play of light, textures and shades. Whether it's gold accents, chrome details or a sophisticated emerald, your manicure will be the perfect addition to your festive look.
