To make it work for you, get nail polish guides to mask the ends of your nails while you apply the base color, which should be the lighter color. Once the two layers are dry, remove the polish guide (can be found at any drugstore) and carefully fill in the ends. Voila! Runway ready in no time!
But you don’t exactly have to go with a new take on a classic look this season. To show your festive side, consider embellishing your nails with some themed nail art. Snowflakes, snowmen and other holiday designs may be available in stencils, or you can get really creative and design an entire winter scene!
Winter Nail Care Tips
When the temperatures drop and the air dries up, your nails and cuticles can take a beating. Consider these tips to keep your nails in top shape throughout the winter season.
Shari Gottesman, founder of Perfect Formula nail polish, recommended to CNN the use of moisturizer on nails in the wintertime. Keep plenty of heavy moisturizer in your purse or desk drawer and apply it regularly to avoid split nails, dry cuticles and cracks. You may find yourself washing your hands more often in the winter (it is cold and flu season, after all), so be sure to apply your moisturizer after every wash.

If you’ve got some time on your hands, pamper yourself at the salon! Invest in a paraffin or hot oil treatment to lock in moisture and replenish dry skin the next time you get a manicure.
