When the temperatures start falling and the leaves start changing colors, something happens to our nails. We say goodbye to the pastels and the bright corals and crave some winter-ready drama. Dark wine shades, deep greens, rust orange — it all feels fresh and new again. This year, winter nail polish trends for 2022 are cooler than ever, with festive holiday party-ready shades and more muted everyday colors.

There’s a nail polish color for everyone, at every finish and price point. Splurge on a Christian Louboutin Beauty polish with packaging that’s basically artwork, and/or stock up on under-$10 colors you can grab on Amazon and at Target. The choice is yours. And if you’re more of a press-on fan than typical nail polish, be sure to check out our round-up of the best press-on nails that fake a salon manicure.
