Winter Nails To Try
These are a list of winter nail designs to try in winter of 2026.
1. Winter Blue Nails

These nails are absolutely stunning. I love how striking the color is. The two nail designs on two fingers are so pretty and add a simple but beautiful element to the nail.
2. Pink Sweater Nails w/ Snowflakes

I am obsessed with these nails. This nail set is super girly and fun. I love how perfect it fits with winter. I also really enjoy the sweater design. The snowflakes are also really cute and I love the blinged out 3d snowflake addition as well.
3. Winter Blue Snowflake Nails

I love how pretty these nails are and how they appear so simple even though there’s a different design on each nail. I think my favorite design is either the candy cane look or the snowflake. I also really like the glitter!
4. Blue Bow Nails

There’s something so stunning about the blue in these nails and the addition of the little bow is gorgeous. I also really like the white sweater nail design and the snowflakes!
5. Glassy Blue Heart Nails

These nails are super unique. I usually don’t see transparent/glassy looking nail designs. These definitely seem a lot more complicated, but if done right, they can look amazing and super fun for the winter season.
6. White Polka Dot Nails

Something about these nails just screams winter, even though they’re not a traditional blue and white nail. I think it’s mainly the white that reminds me of snow. It’s classy and super cute!
7. White Snowflake Nails

These nails are absolutely gorgeous. I love how simple yet detailed they are. This set would look absolutely gorgeous on everyone.
8. Blue Winter Wonderland Nails

This set really does scream winter wonderland. I love the candy cane striping in blue and the addition of the small white snowflakes are also super cute.
9. White Bow Nails w/ a Twist

These nails are so different to me because of how funky the french is on a few of the nails. I like that the french is abstract and it’s actually really pretty when it could easily be very sloppy looking, but it came out amazing. I also love the additions of the 3d pearls and the white bow.
10. Winter Sparkly Nails

These winter sparkly nails are trending on Pinterest right now, and for good reason. These mix sparkles with snowflakes and how could you not be obsessed with that. These scream rich girl to me for some reason. Do they also scream rich girl to you?
11. Blue Chrome Nails

There’s something so fun about these nails. I love how shiny they are and how pretty the blue is.
12. Shimmer French Nails

I love how simple and pretty these nails are and these are also a great option if you like more miminimalist nails but you want that extra sparkle.
13. Blue Ombre Snowflake Nails

The ombre blue with the snowflake is so pretty!
14. White and Blue Bow Nails

This look gives me all of the cutesy blue vibes. I love the bows, checkerboards, and the polka dots!
15. Glassy Glossy Nails

I love how glossy and glassy these nails are. It almost looks like the nails are filled with water which is so pretty.
16. Cream Sweater and Bow Nails

These nails are such a pretty nude winter option. If you’re not into color as much, then these are perfect!
17. Blue Stripes and Snowflake Nails

These nails absolutely radiate winter. I love the present design on one of the nails. I also really enjoy the cute snowflake design.
18. Dark Blue Celestial Nails

I love the celestial vibes of these nails. I’m also obsessed with the blue color and the gold mixed together.
19. Light Blue Sweater French Nails

I love how pretty and unique these nails are. These nails are adorable with the addition of the hearts on the french and the sweater like details as well.
