Nail polish colors for winter tend to reflect the moody, more subdued nature of the season.

Go for everyday glamour in a light gold polish, or be a bit daring in a metallic evergreen hue. Below are a few winter nail polish colors worth trying out this season.

Oxblood, or burgundy if you’re less into fancy pants fashion terms, is a big trend for winter. Wearing oxblood colored nail polish is a simple way to work this vampy trend into your look, without having to kit yourself out in new clothes. It's a great dramatic shade, yet it works for daytime too.
4. Ruby

Red hues are classics when it comes to popular winter nail polish colors. If you’re more of a traditionalist, a scarlet polish may be more to your liking than a deep oxblood color. When looking at nail polish for winter, a ruby red polish would be perfect for complementing the season’s regal looks.
5. Gunmetal Grey

No matter how hard you try, you can’t escape grey in winter. But why would you want to when it comes in this stylish gunmetal shade? It’s darker and edgier than your pale grey shades but still light enough to be worn as a neutral.

This metallic hue is the perfect compromise for those who want to venture away from classic black nail polish but still keep things chic with a hint of shimmer. The reflective finish catches the light beautifully and makes it an ideal choice for nighttime events or to add a touch of sophistication to your everyday look. Plus, gunmetal grey complements a wide range of skin tones and is versatile enough to pair with most of your winter wardrobe. Flaunt this color on short, tidy nails for an understated yet bold statement.

Go green with your winter nail polish colors in a rich evergreen hue. Instead of a matte green polish, I’d stick with one that has a metallic or shimmer finish for a bit of added depth. Get really decadent by looking for a gold toned shimmer.
8. Vermilion
