The Top Nail Tips of Winter 2023
If your cuticles have been a mess lately, you’re not alone. Whether it’s the increase in searches for Russian Manicures, the extra hand washing or the bitter cold that’s causing them to crack, investing in nail care is ideal around this time of year. In addition to regular manicures, these are a few of our favorite tips.
Push don’t nip
Pushing the cuticle instead of nipping or cutting them is far less invasive on your cuticle and nail bed. This cuts down on dry, peeling cuticles and hangnails.
Pick up a cuticle oil
This one might seem obvious, but outside of the nail salon, how often do you actually apply cuticle oil? Investing in one that smells divine and can sit at your desk is key. Ever so often, take a break from typing and paint a little oil on to revive dry cuticles with nourishing oil.
Keep a hand cream handy
The cold air can seriously dry out your skin this season and you might not notice until its too late. Whether you’ve got a travel size from your last trip or want to pick up a new tube, keeping a luxurious hand cream in your purse will ensure that you actually use it! Lather on between moments and after each time you wash to keep hands moisturized and nails looking their best.
The Top Nail Trends of Winter 2023
The Russian Manicure
This manicure isn’t for everyone and is quickly becoming the most hotly debated trend around, but if you’re looking for an ultra clean finish this season, this manicure might be for you. The key detail is to find a manicurist who specializes in the service. Because they are completely removing your cuticle with advanced methods, you’ll need someone who knows what they’re doing to cut down on damage.
Minimal nail art
Nail lengths are being scaled back this season and so is the nail art. Instead of over the top finishes, many are searching for nail trends that extend their time between appointments. (This is another reason the Russian Manicure is such a hit). We’ll see lunula art, faint lines and nude polishes take center stage this season as we all look for ways to be more low-maintenance.
Wine colored polishes at every turn
Burgundy, Pinot or Merlot, whichever wine shade strikes your fancy is bound to be a hit. In addition to other red colored nail polishes, the wine varieties create a more low-key finish while still partaking in the red nail theory.
