How to Find an Expensive-Looking Nail Shade
Winter Neutrals to Write Home About
If there's one thing we know about the "old money" look, it's that neutrals are a girl's best friend. As the season changes, turn towards creams and camel shades to compliment your cozy attire. And with trending espresso brown looks still all the rage, consider going for a deep, dark brown to ground your look.
Swap Your Jewel Tone for a Deeper Version
The holidays are all about those big, bright colors. Jewel tones dominate the season, with ruby reds and emerald greens at the top of the mind. But sometimes, these bold colors don't read as "expensive" as a nail shade.
This year, we've seen a big surge in deep, moody takes on our favorite colors, with more burgundies than red and more navy blues than baby blues. And it's no coincidence that these shades tend to communicate a more rich girl vibe. For the winter season, we expect to see expensive-looking nail shades in deep forest greens and red wine shades to take this year-long trend to the holiday space.
Magnetic Metallics
Alongside jewel tones, precious metals also have their day in winter. From Hanukkah's gorgeous silver to Christmas gold, these colors are everywhere during the holidays. And you might be tempted to reach for a silver or gold polish to match the festive atmosphere. Just consider the texture and finish if you want this look to read as expensive-looking.
Chunky glitters and super-reflective glossy coats can give these looks a less-than-expensive vibe. In their place, consider a magnetic polish that provides a shimmery depth to your gold or silver. Not only are velvet magnetic nails super trendy right now, but they also provide the ideal amount of glow for your winter nails.
