Red nails are one of the most classic nail colors you can wear. They’re so iconic, they may as well be a neutral color. While red nail polishes are versatile, they are not all created equal. Some reds are clearly meant for summer, while others are distinctly winter shades.

The reds you’ll choose for your winter nail colors are usually much deeper and darker than reds for other times of the year. So in this post, you’ll see 4 examples of winter reds.

Starting below with a red from Huella Beauty, Lifted Soul:

Huella Beauty Lifted Soul swatch

Huella Beauty Lifted Soul

Shown in 2 coats, Lifted Soul is a true deep red that goes on smoothly and evenly in thin coats. It’s a great one to use as a simple, classic red nail or as a base for holiday nail art.

Londontown Elderberry swatch

Londontown Lakur Elderberry

Shown in 2 coats, Elderberry is a cherry mocha red; a deep burgundy with brown and purple undertones. If you’re looking for a deep, dark burgundy that’s got warmer undertones, this shade is it.

Londontown Lakurs are 21-free and include a nourishing plant-based formula, which are distinguishing features that set this brand apart from the rest.

Revlon Divine swatch

Revlon Divine

Shown in 2 coats, Divine is just that; it’s a dark, earthy burgundy pearl with brownish undertones that’s opaque in 1 thin coat and dries in under 1 minute. For the smoothest finish, though, 2 coats is best. 

Divine is the perfect shimmery winter red shade.

OPI Complimentary Wine swatch

OPI Complimentary Wine

Shown in 2 coats, Complimentary Wine is a creamy, blackened burgundy that’s the perfect vampy date night shade. It’s from the Fall 2020 Muse of Milan Collection, which is full of a bunch of other gorgeous shades, like Fall-ing for Milan, a shimmering cafe latte brown.
