One of my favorite things to do is pair my nail polish with the festivities of the season. Winter nails definitely have me bringing out a few of my frosty favorites from deep within our collection.

A few nail colors that look good in winter are frosty white, light purple, light blue, bright fuschia, and metallic sparkle.

Do you have a favorite winter nail color? 

If you have yet to decide, perhaps this post can help narrow it down.

Below you will find 5 of my top picks for winter nail polish shades:

essie for the twill of it swatch

essie for the twill of it

Shown in 2 coats, this is an oil slick polish that shifts from cool gray, to olive green, aqua green and lavender shimmer. 

Every time you look at it, you’ll see a different hue. It’s from the 2013 ‘for the twill of it’ collection and this color is the namesake of that collection.

Moon Shine Mani Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls swatch

Moon Shine Mani Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls

Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls is from the limited edition April 2021 Polish Pickup release.

It’s a glowing sheer light blue that shifts to lavender with bits of silver flakies. It looks like the moon’s glow during a clear night sky.

China Glaze Mistletoe Me! swatch

China Glaze Mistletoe Me!

Shown in 2 coats, Mistletoe Me! is from the 2011 Ulta Beauty x China Glaze Holiday Collection, and it’s a fuchsia-berry metallic shimmer. 

This polish is over 12 years old and it is still easy to apply, self-leveling and quick drying! This formula has held up well over time.

OPI Chill ‘Em with Kindness swatch

It looks like a whimsical, frosty icicle on the nail. This color is as though OPI took our favorite, Funny Bunny, and added a little winter magic to it.
