Introducing the manicure equivalent of the icy make-up trend. This winter’s trendy nail colour is icy blue, also known as super pale blue. And because it falls into the pastel category, it’s just as wearable in spring.

9. Creamy Beige Nails

Creamy neutrals are a popular choice this winter, not just beige. You can experiment with different undertones to find a nail colour that suits you best. Grey, brown and pink undertones all work well, ensuring the base colour is bright and creamy. Manicurist Danielle McDonagh used Biosculpture Gel in Crescent Moon, a creamy beige with brown undertones, for this fresh manicure.

A colour inspired by chocolate, what’s not to love? Not to mention, it’s also ideal for complementing all the winter neutrals in your wardrobe. Brown hues ranging from dark chocolate to creamy chocolate fudge are all in the mix for winter 2024.
