Our nightly Pinterest crawl is full of holiday nail trends, cozy seasonal cocktail recipes and, to our delight, a unique fusion of both. Yes, you interpreted that correctly: cocktail-inspired manicures are one of our favorite trends of the moment. Ahead, we’re rounding up our favorite adult beverage-themed nail looks we’re planning to copy this season.
Creating a Craft Cocktail Manicure
You’ve got so many options for creating a craft cocktail manicure. From cinnamon and orange mulled wine popular at German holiday markets to the rich and creamy espresso martini, there’s something for everyone, with a nail look to match! Plus, winter sees the rise of red wines, richer drinks and seasonal specialties that are super easy to express in nail form.
On the simple end, choose a color that mimics your drink of choice. If it’s a fizzy or bubbly drink, consider opting for a shimmer or glitter polish to embody that effect. If you’re interested in nail art, simple designs of seasonal ingredients can go a long way.
You’ll also find that these winter cocktail manicures align perfectly with the winter trends we’ve spotted so far, such as chrome Moscow mule nails and the influx of deep burgundy wine colors. These shades have taken off this year for a reason, as these moody tones are the perfect winter neutrals.
