The 10 Trendiest Colors To Paint On Your Toes This Winter

Thanks to nailfluencers like Bieber, shades of cool-toned sapphire and navy blue are expected to be a total power player for the winter season.

“Deep, moody blue pedicures bring a cool, youthful vibe,” says Choi.

Personnaz echoes this, noting that navy is “stunning with a denim look.”

A bright red will *always* be in style for the coldest months of the year — and both pros agree with the sentiment.

“Glamorous and timeless reds are completely captivating,” says Personnaz, while Choi similarly states that “a classic, bold red is perfectly timeless for any winter occasion.”

Add some shine to your wintertime look with silver polish, a seasonal pedicure fave according to Choi.

“For a touch of festive sparkle, shimmering silver adds a sophisticated, subtle shine — just enough to catch the eye without overwhelming,” she says.

Not quite black and not quite purple, Personnaz says that dark berry tones will reign.

“My favorite winter shade is a beautiful, deep black-red,” she says.

As an example, Personnaz points to the Manicurist Green™ Natural Nail Polish in Hollyhock ($14), while Kylie Jenner recently rocked OPI’s Nail Lacquer in Lincoln Park After Dark ($11.99).

Burgundy was a tried-and-true mani staple for fall 2024, and it will continue to dominate winter ’25, too.

“Deep burgundy reds are a perennial favorite that provides a versatile, fashion-forward look that pairs well with a variety of styles,” says Choi.

If you prefer lighter colors, Personnaz names a classic pastel that’s also trending.

“A classic pedicure polish shade that never goes out of style is a sheer pink,” she says. “This timeless hue is elegant, versatile, and beautifully complements all skin tones. It's perfect for any season and occasion, bringing a clean nail effect that works with any wardrobe choice.”

Espresso nails are the richest shade of chocolate polish — and they are another fave for the snow-filled season, according to Personnaz.

“I'm absolutely drawn to warm, cozy shades like deep chocolate browns,” she says.

Not quite as dark as rich espresso, mid-tone browns and warm neutrals are set to trend for the upcoming months.

“Earthy tones like brown, taupe, and olive offer a warm, grounded aesthetic that’s ideal for the winter months,” says Choi.

The essie Nail Lacquer in Crochet Away ($10) is a perfect medium brown shade, while the Lights Lacquer Polish in Oui’d ($11) is a gorgeous muted olive hue.

Although the witchiest season is officially over, black will remain a go-to polish for winter pedicures.

“For timeless elegance, black remains unbeatable, offering effortless pairing with any outfit,” says Choi. “When in doubt, black is always a chic, stylish choice.”

For a pure, opaque black, the pro says the JINsoon Polish in Absolute Black ($18) is an obvious choice, while the Mooncat Nail Lacquer in Emo For Life ($13) is another option you’ll want to add to cart.

Not quite over your “cinnamon spice girl” fall? Luckily, similar terracotta tones will continue to be a vibe through the winter months.

“Burnt sienna is a warm and rich shade that’s a fresh alternative to classic browns and reds, adding a unique winter flair,” says Choi.
