Brrrr, it’s cold outside!  We’re right in the middle of winter—but there is a lot to love about the frostiest season of the year!  So heat up a mug of cocoa or tea, pull up a chair, and watch the snow falling outside your window while planning your next gel nail polish manicure.  Here are some trendy ideas for winter nails!

Sometimes it isn’t what you do with your nails but how you accessorize which can complete an exquisite look.  The muted blue used here is ideal for the season, but it’s the way the color is coordinated with the jewelry that really makes these nails elegant.

Best Winter Nail Ideas And Designs To Try In 2023 - January Gel Nail Ideas

While we tend to associate blue most readily with winter, any pastel hues can capture the season.  Light pinks, greyish tones, and whites also are wintry shades.  The marbled look here is simple but breathtaking.

Winter Nail Art Trends You'll See Everywhere This Season

This is the same idea as the pale blue nails that I shared with you earlier, but this time the nails have been done in a neutral flesh color.  This still creates a very wintry look.

These nails are simply gorgeous!  Pale pink fades to white at the tips, with ample glitter throughout.  These nails remind me of sparkling snow.

These nails have been painted with a simple dark matte blue.  The color looks like a deep, velvety winter night sky.  It just goes to show that you don’t always have to do something elaborate to create a captivating look. 

Nails;nails Winter;nails Winter Gel;nails Acrylic Coffin;n…

Here is another simple but lovely look.  Most of the nails have been done in a glossy dark blue, with just one nail in sparkly silver.

These nails, like the ones above, use one color for the majority of the nails (pale pink in this case) and sparkly silver for just one of them.  An added touch is a carefully painted snowflake on one of the nails.  What beautiful work!

Here is another idea for snowflakes on nails.  I am loving the subtlety of this look.  At a glance, you just see sparkly silver nails.  But if you look closely, there are snowflakes and stars, just barely visible.

Best Winter Nail Ideas And Designs To Try In 2023

Here the nails have been painted with a neutral color.  Delicate snowflakes have been rendered on top, making for a look which is even more subtle than the one I shared above. 

I hope you enjoyed these gorgeous gel nail polish ideas for winter, and feel inspired now to try a few or come up with a creative look of your own!I’m sorry, but I honestly believe that everyone is sleeping on winter nails. Like, you’re telling me you jump straight from holiday nail colors (see: festive Christmas nail designs and sparkly New Year’s nails) right into spring nail colors? From jewel tones to pastels? Because I could never. Instead, I keep my nails winter-appropriate with all the unique designs and moody colors that Wednesday Addams would approve of—and I highly recommend you try the winter-nail life for yourself, too.

And no, I’m not just talking about regular ol’ blacks and burgundies—I’m talking super-shiny finishes, chrome accents, and intensely opaque polishes. So whether you have a stash of press-ons, a standing salon appointment, or a love affair with doing your own manicures, you’ll be set for your next mani with the below 60 (!) winter nail ideas. Yup, your camera roll is about to get really, really full.

✔️ P.S., This is new, up-to-date info, bb. We updated this article in January 2023 to add new trending winter nails we saw all over Instagram, delete outdated oldies, and give you the latest nail tips to DIY these designs at home.

These nails are giving major Matrix vibes, which Cosmo already predicted to be a big 2023 winter fashion trend. Definitely pair this with a long leather jacket, Matrix sunglasses (obvi), and silver jewelry to match the chrome on your nails.

Gel Nail Ideas For Winter - January Gel Nail Ideas

Marathon. But when the weather doesn’t exactly catch my vibe, I like to make it up with a snow-y manicure. If you’re recreating the look, pop on some snowflake nail decals, or have your nail artist draw on the snowflakes and then cover them in acrylic powder for a similar raised, matte effect.

Nail Design Trends This Winter [2023]

My Instagram explore page has been full of aura nail designs as of late (prob because I follow almost as many nail accounts as I do astrology pages). But this abstract mani is one of my favs, complete with its winter-y light blue and white hues, since it feels light and clean for the start of 2023.

Had your fill of flashy holiday nail designs? Give this simple, minimalist manicure a try. The micro French tips, especially when painted black, look understated yet ~editorial~ and require very little skill to DIY. Just cover a makeup sponge in seran wrap, paint the surface with a thin layer of black nail polish, then gently press the tip of your nail into the polish to get a crisp, clean line (à la this French Tip tutorial).

I lived in Chicago through six (!) intense winters, which meant I spent a lot of time indoors, staying warm and drinking hot cocoa. So to pay homage, I’m skipping the frigid temps this year and choosing cocoa-colored nails. And since I like things ~extra~, I’m wearing a shimmery-brown nail polish to make my manicure feel festive.

Best Nail Inspo For Chic Ladies To Rock In January

Would 100p wear this). Pair it with your shiniest silver jewelry to bring out all those sparkles, or throw on a blue sweater to really play up the winter vibes.

If you want your manicure to look like sparkling snow on a sunny winter day, try these glittery ombré tips with a snowflake design. Outline the tip of your nail and fill it in with the lightest color, then do the same with the other two shades, lining them up with the previous color. Then, to get the seamless ombré, melt the shades together by swirling a clean nail brush through the edges of each shade to blend.

January Nail Inspo — Nails On Brown - January Gel Nail Ideas

Winter is the perfect time to play around with deep, cool-toned shades, like burgundies, merlots, and plums. I’m personally loving how this plum shade—when paired with 2023’s required biker jacket—feels like an edgier, brighter neutral than a classic black. For the more opaque finish, paint on two to three coats of polish, then finish it off with a long-lasting top coat.

Nail Designs You Need To Try

Pantone’s trend forecasters are predicting orange to be one of the biggest shades across fashion and beauty this year. So if you’re all about being ahead of the trends, try it first on your nails with a coral-y orange polish. It’s just soft and creamy enough that it doesn’t feel too summery, but it’ll still give you some brightness to help offset some winter blues.

I’ve already talked everyone’s ears off about my Hailey Bieber glazed-donut nail obsession, but it’s! not! over! (And I’m not even mad about it). This winter, Mrs. Bieber has been wearing almond-shaped French tips covered in chrome powder for a glazed finish, creating a new twist on her old trend.

How frickin’ adorable is this penguin nail art? Like, I have cute aggression just looking at it. And with the help of a penguin nail sticker, you, too, will be able to DIY this look at home. Just paint on your base color, draw a squiggly line at your cuticles, fill in the space with white polish, then add snowflakes with a nail-dotting tool. To finish, press on your penguin sticker and layer on a top coat to lock it down.

Winter Nails To Try, From Cosy Accents To Tinsel Tips

An icy, shimmery, silver nail color will always feel like a festive staple come winter. So if you’ve already worn it a few times this season or just like to be a little extra, add a swirly French tip in a shiny black nail polish to give it a gloomy edge. These tips don’t have to be symmetrical or perfect whatsoever, so even nail-art newbs can easily recreate them.

Wait, this chocolate-brown nail color looks almost good enough to eat, IMO. It's rich, which makes it perfect for a classic dark winter nail color, and also decidedly neutral, which helps it look good on every skin tone.

 - January Gel Nail Ideas

Get out your checkered Vans and black eyeliner because grunge is back, bb. But make it a little less angsty than your 9th-grade Sharpie manicure, and a bit more 2023 chic by layering on two coats of an ultra-shiny top coat.

Winter Nail Trends: Ice Princess Art & French Manis

I can’t unsee the coffee-creamer chart whenever I look at this neutral-toned, French-tip mani (but honestly, seeing caffeine every time I stare down at my nails isn’t exactly a bad thing). You can stick with a true gradient across all of your nails, or mix it up a bit for a more “Skittles” effect, as seen above.

Jewel tones are great fall nail colors, because they combine some warmth and richness that brings together the shades of summer and winter. But you can make them feel a bit more wintery by choosing darker versions of the shades you loved last season by incorporating a tortoiseshell accent.

I’m all about celebrating New Year’s for as long as possible, especially on my nails with a disco ball-esque nail design like this one. I love how

nail polish remover gnat trap

Summer means ripe tomatoes, tall glasses of lemonade and, yes, fruit flies. The pesky pests are the last thing you want buzzing in front of your face — especially when you're prepping dinner or having friends around for a weekend soiree.

Fruit flies reproduce at an astonishing rate: According to pest control company Orkin, female fruit flies lay hundreds of eggs in a very short time, commonly on moist foods like overripe fruit and vegetables. Then, within 24 to 30 hours, those eggs hatch into larvae, or maggots, that feed on the food source on which they were laid. Within about a week those larvae become sexually active and not more than two days later, start the cycle over again — leaving you with

How To Get Rid Of Flies: 20 Simple Ways To Kill Flies Effectively - Nail Polish Remover Gnat Trap

Fortunately, there are simple and effective ways to get rid of fruit flies indoors fast — maybe not in under five minutes, but certainly in overnight — using fruit fly traps that you can DIY at home. All it takes to stop these irksome insects in their tracks is some strategic cleaning and a few household supplies.

How To Do Your Nails At Home During Coronavirus Quarantine

Fruit flies are attracted to ripe, rotting or decayed fruit and produce, as well as fermented goods like beer, liquor and wine, say the pros at Orkin. They also like to buzz around trash cans and garbage disposals if enough food is present. And, unfortunately, considering their reproductive prowess, two tiny fruit flies will quickly multiply into an infestation that can feel almost impossible to control.

If you see little black bugs flying around your kitchen, you first want to make sure you identify the critters correctly. Fruit flies usually appear light or dark brown in color with red eyes. Double-check that your pests in question aren't drain flies, which lurk around drains or garbage disposals, or fungus gnats, which prefer overwatered houseplants. For those bugs, check out our guides on how to get rid of gnats and how to make a homemade fly trap.

Start by deep cleaning your kitchen and throwing out any rotten food. To cut off fruit flies from their food source and prevent them from entering your home, take these preventive measures to avoid a future fruit fly infestation:

How To Id Fruit Flies, Drain Flies And Fungus Gnats

Then, you'll want to find a way to trap the existing fruit flies in your kitchen, fast. Our experts have found that a DIY fruit fly trap is a quick and effective solution. What's more, these homemade fruit fly traps can be fashioned from supplies you likely have on hand in your pantry. If you want to skip the DIY route, you can buy premade fruit fly traps, too. Here are the best ways to kill fruit flies, according to pest experts:

For this DIY fruit fly trap, sweet apple cider vinegar (ACV) is more effective than white vinegar. They can't resist the scent of vinegar, and they won't be able to exit once they're inside! For an even better chance at success, make several of these traps and place them around your kitchen. Here's how to do it yourself:

Fruit & Drain Flies

The smell of rotting produce will help entice the fruit flies into the mixture, but the cone part of this fruit fly trap makes it difficult for them to get out. Here's how to do it yourself:

If you find your fruit flies impervious to your plastic wrap or paper cone traps, try adding three drops of dish soap to a bowl of vinegar and leave it uncovered. The soap cuts the surface tension of the vinegar so the flies will sink and drown.

The experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute were excited to see this product cross their desks, especially senior chemist Sabina Wizemann, who found that it worked better in her home than other DIY remedies she's tried. The premade mixture uses the active ingredients sodium lauryl sulfate (a surfactant used in soaps) and malic acid (found in fruit) and comes in a stand-up jar. All you have to do is open the top, set it on your counter and "watch the cycle of life unfold."

Homemade Gnat Traps And Ways To Kill Fruit Flies

Like vinegar, fruit flies love the smell of wine. Try leaving out an open bottle with a little leftover liquid — the skinny neck will keep the flies trapped. The Old Farmer's Almanac also recommends using stale beer to attract fruit flies to a DIY trap. Add a couple of drops of dish soap to either for surer success.

If you notice fruit flies in your drain, you might be looking for an instant fix — like pouring bleach down the drain. But experts say this isn’t the most effective solution. Doing so might kill some larvae, but it will not kill enough of the eggs or larvae to eliminate the problem. That's because bleach passes down the drain too quickly to do a thorough job.

✔️ Always run cold water before turning on the disposal or grinding food, and for a few seconds after the grinding stops. The water flow will help food move all the way through the pipes after it leaves the disposal.

The Original Fruit Fly Trap, 1 Unit

✔️ Every week or so, with the disposal and faucet both turned off, toss in a bunch of ice cubes, a tablespoon of baking soda, a few thin lemon slices and a teaspoon of bleach. Turn the disposal on without running water until you hear the grinding stop. Then, with the motor still running, flush the machine with cold water for about a minute.

I love painting my nails, but I hate having to remove it later. Especially glitter-based and darker polishes - they're so tough to get off! I always ended up picking at the last bit of polish and damaging my nails, so I knew I needed to try something else.

After a lot of googling, I found a few solid options and tested them out. I found the winning method on gingerbreadmanne and it was so fast and easy to do I just can't get over it. :D

Also: this is incredibly useful if you have psoriasis like I do - my thumb nails have fairly large horizontal ridges that tend to trap polish between them, and this makes removing it much easier!

If this method doesn't work for the polish you're wearing, there's another option. Try scoochmaroo's "how to remove a gel manicure" instructable for more info.

How To Get Rid Of Gnats In 2023, According To An Exterminator

Pour some nail polish remover into the cap and dip a strip into it. You want the strip saturated but not dripping wet.

Push the wet strip down onto a nail firmly so it will stay in place and repeat for the rest of them.

Once it's been a couple minutes, remove the strips but pushing them off the ends of your nails. Apply pressure at the nail bed and push the cotton toward the tip. The polish should come off pretty easy!

If the cotton sticks, chances are you didn't use enough remover. Dab more polish remover onto the cotton and let it sit a little longer.

As you can see, this method took off almost all of the glitter polish - and I was using two coats! Hooray! It took only another minute or so to remove the rest.

My nails also looked loads better than they do normally - no peeling or places where I scrubbed too hard or picked. :D

ingrown nail surgery aftercare

ingrown nail surgery aftercare

Ingrown toenails are common and usually treatable without surgery. However, in severe cases, people may need a small medical procedure to treat an ingrown toenail.

If they notice them at an early stage, people can treat ingrown nails at home. However, in severe cases — especially when the nail has become infected — people may need to see a doctor for advice, antibiotics, or a surgical procedure.

Ingrown Toenails Treatment - Ingrown Nail Surgery Aftercare

In this article, we explain when a person needs surgery for an ingrown toenail and discuss the procedure, recovery time, and risks.

Ingrown Toenail Surgery

Ingrown toenail surgery is usually an outpatient procedure that involves the use of local anesthesia. Local anesthesia means that the person remains awake, but the doctor numbs the area so that the person cannot feel their toe.

Some doctors offer a sedative or twilight anesthesia during the surgery. With twilight anesthesia, the person remains awake but groggy, and they may not remember the procedure.

If a person prefers general anesthesia, the surgery may take longer and require more preparation. With general anesthesia, the individual will be unconscious, making it a good option for people who are very anxious about surgery.

Aftercare Tips To Follow Post A Private Ingrown Toenail Surgery In London

Several surgical procedures can treat an ingrown toenail. An orthopedic surgeon or podiatrist can offer advice on the best option, but a person should be sure to make them aware of relevant health issues, including any prior history of ingrown toenails.

This painful condition happens when the toenail grows down into the skin. It most commonly affects the big toe, with the corner of the nail growing into the nail bed. In most cases, it occurs due to tight fitting footwear or improper trimming of the nails.

Ingrown Toenail Surgery Perth - Ingrown Nail Surgery Aftercare

People can often treat ingrown toenails at home by wearing sandals to avoid putting pressure on the toe, soaking the toe in warm water, and keeping the area clean to help it heal on its own.

Ingrown Toenail Removal

However, if there are signs of infection, a person should see a doctor rather than trying to treat the nail at home. People should also seek medical care for an ingrown nail if they have a health condition — such as diabetes, nerve damage, or poor circulation — that makes home treatment risky.

Ingrown toenails irritate the skin. As a result, they can make it easier for bacteria and other microbes to get in, which increases the risk of infection. Promptly treating an ingrown toenail reduces this risk. Some signs of infection include:

If the toenail is very swollen or inflamed, or it does not get better after a few days, a doctor may diagnose an infection and prescribe antibiotics. They might

A special splint to prevent the toenail from growing deeper into the skin. If the toe still does not heal, a doctor may recommend surgery.

For most people, the wound will heal within several weeks. The pain will steadily lessen in the days following surgery and should have gone by the time the wound heals. It can take several months for the nail to regrow, but the length of time will vary from person to person.

Ingrown Toenail Surgery - Ingrown Nail Surgery Aftercare

Minor complications are common following nail surgery, though serious complications are rare. However, an untreated ingrown toenail carries a much higher risk of complications than nail removal.

Benefits Of Removing An Ingrown Toenail

People should discuss the benefits and risks of surgery with their doctor, who will take into account their particular risk factors. People with a history of anesthesia complications and those with weakened immune systems may be more vulnerable to complications.

Ingrown toenails can be painful, but with proper home or medical treatment, they are rarely serious. Surgery presents some risks, but it can alleviate the chronic pain of an ingrown toenail.

Ingrown Toenail Removal Treatment - Ingrown Nail Surgery Aftercare

People with ingrown toenails should discuss their treatment options with a skilled, experienced podiatrist or orthopedic surgeon. Excellent medical care and diligent home management can reduce the risk of complications following surgery and increase the likelihood of a full recovery with the regrowth of a healthy nail.

Cao predicts icy metallic colors, especially those blue shades, will be trending this winter. “Everything has an ultra-shiny, outer-space feel to it, ” she says. “Light blue is especially great for winter.”

An oldie but a goodie, metallics are Goldstein’s pick for winter 2023 colors to see trending all over your social feeds. “Silver, gold, and chrome variations of colors — they are a great way to play with nail art without getting overwhelmed, ” she says. “[They’re also] easy to recreate at home.”

Choi predicts that the infamous glazed donut nails will continue to be big into the winter. “The base color is selected to complement each person’s undertones for a natural pearlescent look, ” she says. “Many prefer a soft look for their manicure, and iridescent polishes are the perfect way to get the shine without using glitter; iridescent polishes shine beautifully on their own for a minimalist look or atop vibrant hues for a glowy finish.”

The 10 Most Popular Nail Colors Of 2023

When you think of metallics, it’s natural to think of silver, gold, and bronze. But this winter, Cao says pastel colors like lilac will also take center stage. “In winter, it’s really pretty with a cool-tone shimmer, ” she adds.

Choi says that earthy tones are going to be big this winter. “[They] have a certain elegance that make a statement without flashy designs or finishes, ” she says. While earthy tones are also popular for fall, she says you’ll see earthy tones like rusty reds a lot in 2023.

Goldstein recommends going with brown nail polish if you want to change up the usual burgundy that you normally reach for in the winter months. It’s still just as cozy and warm but gives you something more neutral. She and her clients love this Chanel polish in particular for its deep brown shade with a shiny finish.

A winter white is one of the go-to winter colors for many. For 2023, Cao says the color will go a more sheer route. “Sheer milky whites pop more than a basic sheer [neutral], ” she says. “It looks great on short, natural-shaped nails for a clean look.”

Another earthy tone shade that Choi says will be big for 2023 is cerulean. The muted light blue is a soft winter shade that can match any look.

When in doubt, go for a classic cherry red nail polish. “Red is always a great way to start the new year, ” says Goldstein. “It is said to bring good luck and fortune in many cultures.”

Moody and romantic, Cao says that dark black cherry red hues are great, sophisticated shades for the winter months. You can go full-coverage or take the French manicure route, which is always a classic.

Cao says that if you’re looking for an opaque white, turn to something that has a beige tone and is loaded with pigment to give it that creamy feel. “It stands out and looks great across all skin tones, ” she says. She recommends pairing it with minimal nail art or a playful decal for a fun twist.

Winter Nail Designs To Try In 2023

To enhance the metallic trend that Goldstein mentioned previously, she recommends using a black base (her pick is the Chanel Boy de Chanel Nail Colour in 404) beneath chrome powder to really get your nails to pop.

Another pick from Choi is this muted olive green that goes on smooth and creamy. It’s a perfect earth tone that seamlessly transitions from winter to spring.

Known also as Ballerina nails, this long and tapered shape extends beyond the end of the finger and comes to a narrow, squared-off tip said to resemble coffins or ballerina slippers. These uniquely shaped nails also provide a bigger canvas for nail art than a natural nail which leaves plenty of room for personal style to shine.

Depending on their length, certain activities like playing sports, washing dishes, or typing quietly on a computer become challenging. The more extended away from the fingertip, the more challenging these happenings become. People are often times nervous about longer nails if they haven’t had them before, but it is an acquired taste.

Closely resembling their namesake nut, Almond nails taper from the rounded base of the natural nail into a short, rounded point.  Due to the shorter length they can add strength despite their filed sides and are a good choice for customers looking for a slenderizing effect for thicker fingers and wider nail beds.

While the Almond shape is intended to be a shorter enhancement, they do require some additional length, either from the natural nail beneath the enhancement, or by adding an acrylic tip.  This little extra length can make certain things like opening cans of soda or beer, or quickly unbuttoning clothing more challenging than doing these same things with natural, trimmed nails.

How To Pick The Best Nail Shape For You

The most obvious upside to flaunting a Stiletto style is they are the fiercest of all. These are very popular in nail competitions due to the “WOW” factor. Stilettos taper into a sharp point, and are usually a considerably long, attention grabbing and statement screaming.

Although Stiletto nails get their name from the Stiletto knife, they wear much like their shoe counterpart: style over daily functionality. Due to the length and sharp point of this style, daily tasks like putting in contacts, counting change or even getting something out of a purse or pocket become a near impossibility. The exaggerated length also possesses the greatest potential to break when your clients plan on using their hands for anything. Celebrities can rock this look pretty easily, but it does help that they have a team of assistants ensuring they don’t have to use their hands.

When you have a customer who just doesn’t know what they want, you may want to recommend the Oval styled nail because it is the most similar to the shape of the natural nail and  can be a safe option in just about any scenario. This shape of acrylic nail is also a wonderful choice for your customer who works in a conservative setting that wants to have a well manicured look without being overly flashy. The Oval shape itself also leaves a window of opportunity open for adding different colors and designs to embrace your customer’s personal taste.

There really is no downside to having Oval shaped acrylics. They are a smooth and natural shape and are not disruptive of daily tasks.  This classic and natural appearing shape also leaves an option open for your customer to go conservative or festive with their choice design and coloring.

If your client works with their hands frequently, or has a career that involves frequently typing on a keyboard this may be a great option for them. When worn short the precise straight edges help to increase the nail’s structural integrity and keep the nail strong. These are also a fantastic choice for a customer who wants a traditional Pink and White acrylic nail.

While the length may vary based upon preference, this is intended to be a very short style of nail. Tapping fingernails on a hard surface will not provide the satisfying click your customer may be used to when wearing acrylics. While the straight edge helps to strengthen the nail, it also holds the most impactful downside as well: the sharp corners of the nail may catch on silkier materials, potentially limiting your wardrobe choices.
