The festive season is almost upon us ladies. With the weather turning super cold and snowfall around the corner, what better way to get all Christmassy than to give your nails some much needed TLC.

Gone are the long summer days when your nails could be neon bright to compliment your tan. Now’s the time to get sophisticated for all those Christmas parties you will be going to. With these Winter months you should be looking at a much darker and richer color palette. Think vivid reds, deep plums, and warm browns. CocoKouture is here to help inspire and make sure your nails are the talk of the town.

Taupe, burgundy, and plum are just a few of the vampy colors to look out for this Winter. Of course gold and silver never go out of style, and alongside electric blues and deep greens, they’re proof that this season metallics are really making their mark. Nude colors also take precedent in the Winter months as your clothing becomes more neutral in tone.

Zoya do a great ‘Feel Winter’ collection of neutral colors that are anything but bland or boring. Nails Inc have some truly inspiring nail collections out this season that I would recommend: the ‘Autumn Winter Colour Collection’ draws inspiration from the runway with some beautiful russet inspired shades.

They also inject a bit of London atmosphere into your life as the four colors are named after train stations in the English capital. Their ‘Luxury Winter Collection’ is ideal for everyday AND glitzy nighttime wear.

I simply must talk about some of the Christmas 2011 nail sets that are out. (See CK’s Holiday 2011 Beauty Product Gift Guide for some gift ideas!) Way back in October, Vogue mentioned the two sets from Chanel and Givenchy out this holiday season. They’re infused with shimmer and ‘continue the metallic trend for the Christmas period’. Both colors offered in ‘Les Scintillantes de Chanel’ Christmas collection and Givenchy’s ‘Nuit Celeste’, look heavenly standalone or when paired with the other items from their holiday makeup collections.

Another really neat nail polish set is China Glaze’s holiday collection, ‘Let It Snow’. With colors such as Velvet Bow, Poinsetta, and Tinsel Town, they are totally inspired by and created for the festive season. These polishes are used in high-end nail salons around the US and UK and are totally worth the price if you want to recreate that sleek salon look at home. Finally, our ultimate favorites, OPI, have created their own Christmas Glitter Shimmer Collection with the Muppets. That’s right! Inspired by Kermit and Miss Piggy, Pepe’s Purple Passion, Meep-Meep-Meep, Fresh Frog of Bel Air, and Warm and Fozzie are just some of the 12 delectable colors to choose from. If you really want to make sure you stand out from the crowd I vote OPI all the way.
