7 Winter 2020 Nail Polish Colors That Will Get You Out Of Your Manicure Rut

Cold Shoulder is a deep teal with grey-blue glitter that feels unexpected, but will perfectly complement a winter wardrobe.

Part of OPI's Hello Kitty collection, Let Love Sparkle is a playful pale blue with platinum sparkle — it's like a supercharged take on a metallic silver winter manicure.

Tend to go for a classic red manicure all year round? You're not alone, and plenty of this season's nail drops included a crimson iteration — but with a winter-ready twist. Reds with richness and depth by way of brown undertones instantly warm up your vibe this time of year; keep an eye out for oxblood, burgundy, and cherry chocolate lacquers to get the look.

Essie's Expressie collection features a variety of shades that dry super-fast so you can get your manicure on point in a flash. Go for Not So Low-Key to get the rich red look for winter — it's a cherry chocolate shade that's got deep brown undertones for a sensual vibe.

Chanel's holiday collection, which is about all things opulent, included two fresh nail lacquers. One is Richness, a bold oxblood shade that's a sophisticated, warm winter-ready take on a classic red manicure. Whether worn for a big day at work or out on a dinner date, it says all the right things.

What happens when you mix a crisp, pure white with jet black? Gray, of course. It's the ideal middle ground if you can't settle on one end of the spectrum or the other — and better yet, there's a bounty of options out there thanks to the latest additions from some fan fave nail brands. For winter, go with one that's got cool undertones (aka not the putty, taupe-infused varieties) to keep the vibe clean and seasonal.

No. 101 is a smoky gray with a creme finish that's got a cool tone. It'd be a fun shade for playing with negative space nail art, but would be equally as modern covering the full nail.

Darker but still plenty cool is OPI's Rub-a-Pub-Pub, from the brand's recent Scotland-inspired collection. Created by combining an ashy coal with a chilly gray, it's an unexpected shade suitable for cold winter days.

Want to keep everyone on their toes? Opt for one of winter's more unexpected polish shades: bold fuchsia. The vivid pink hue is a playful pick that'll instantly make you feel warm and bright, as if you're about to embark on a tropical getaway. And don't worry, thanks to fuchsia's blue undertones the color still feels cool and weather-appropriate. Choose the shade if you're tired of your tried-and-true red.

Zoya's new hue Rosa is a pearlescent fuchsia, which emphasizes the shade's blue undertones. It's bright and cheery like a crimson, but with a bit more flair.

Bright Lights by Deborah Lippmann is a richer take on fuchsia, with a creamy, opaque finish and violet tones. It's almost like a bold berry hue, and would wonderfully complement rich winter wardrobe tones.

Indulge in the moodiness of the winter season by reflecting the vibe in your manicure with an inky, edgy shade — and no, it's not black. Deep navy blues are a modern approach to a moody nail, in a way that's bold but still refined. Opt for one with iridescence if you'd like a dreamy angle, or pick a creme finish for a minimalist aesthetic.

Deep, dark blue that's just a few shades from black is a welcome alternative for winter — especially when it's got a subtle hint of shimmer like Olive & June's HJ (named for Los Angeles-based Helen's Wines founder, Helen Johannesen). Curl up on a cold winter night with this navy nail color and a glass of red, and you'll feel just right.

J. Hannah's Blue Nudes is a creamy take on a deep navy, for a richness that's only otherwise seen in nature (think naturally sourced indigo and an inky blue night sky). Like your go-to pair of jeans, this is a shade you can circle back to again and again this season.

Recreate the feeling of summer in a subtle way with a warm nude manicure that's reminiscent of tan lines and sun-baked sand between your toes. Look for nude polishes with taupe or peach tones and select one that's a few shades darker than your complexion for an instantly warmer vibe. Since the color's still neutral, you won't have a problem styling with wintery layers (though you may wish you were sporting a swimsuit instead).

Clean beauty brand Orosa's winter collection was a well-curated drop of just three shades: a jet-black, a prismatic glitter, and a peachy nude. The latter of which, called Dusk, presents an ideal warm nude that mimics desert sands.

Broome is a taupe-y tan shade that's rich and opaque enough to coat your nails for a bare-but-better look. With warm undertones, it's captures the vibe of beach sand in a bottle.

One thing's for certain: Rose gold is the metallic shade du jour. Put your silvers and golds away for the winter and opt for a warm, bronzed rose hue that helps light up your wardrobe. Opt for one with lots of shimmery pigments for ultimate shine — it'll ensure your nails have a bit more impact than a basic nude-pink.

Named after Olive & June's third salon location on Los Angeles' westside, OJSM captures the warm rosy glow of a sunset by the beach. It's metallic and glittery at the same time thanks to fine, shimmery pigments that look lit from within.

This ultra-glittery bronze shade combines a platinum base with a major pink punch via micro glitter that catches the light from every angle.
