Winter Nail Polish Trends 2012

A fresh coat of polish on clean nails is a simple and quick makeover that will leave you feeling refreshed. As fashion changes seasonally, so do beauty trends and with the chilly winter weather well and truly upon us we've compiled some of our top nail polish picks for the cooler months.

The classic nude is back. For those who fancy demure nails or maybe can't get away with some of the more daring shades at work or school, nude nail polish is a great choice and a brilliant staple for your makeup bag.

Let your fingers twinkle this winter by applying gorgeous metallics to your nails as golds and silvers are a big hit. This look is perfect for evening wear, allowing you to sparkle from head to toe.

For those who are feeling a little bit adventurous with their manicure, unleash your creativity and try out ombre nails. This style has been popping up on red carpets and runways the world over and screams glamour.

Finally, a splash of orange is a new twist on classic red nails and orangey red hues are making waves this winter. This colour makes a statement and looks super stylish when paired with an all black outfit.
