The temperatures are going down, and since snow and ice are in the forecast, you may as well paint your nails to match the season. Why not?
This past week, we provided you with all the information you needed to know in order to achieve Nicola Peltz Beckham’s blizzard nails. This week, however, it is the turn of the South Korean beauty trend known as chilly girl nails.
Applying the same aesthetic to your nails, as in the chilly girl beauty trend, which is characterised by flushed cheeks and shiny eyeshadow, is all that is required to get this look.
“This winter we are embracing the cold, and leaning into it for style inspiration,” said Charlotte Knight, Founder and CEO of Ciaté London and Lottie London.
‘Inspired by the blush nail trend that has arisen from Korea, the manicure sees a natural base colour with a brighter magenta blur in the centre.
‘It’s a minimal nail art that resembles the aura and ombre nail trends doing the rounds.’
If you do not intend to visit a salon and would want a step-by-step guide on how to get the look in the comfort of your own home, we have you covered.
Charlotte said: ‘The way to get the most natural flush in the centre of your nails is to grab your makeup bag and use a blusher, this gives you the most control to buff out the edge of your ombre and allow you to really build the colour up.
‘Start with a really natural, neutral base colour and apply all over your nails.
‘Then take your favourite blusher and a small, fluffy eyeshadow brush and begin to layer the colours to create a cloud of pink in the centre of the nail.
‘The most important final step is to seal all of this in with a top coat to not disturb your hard work.’
You might want to try this alternative approach instead, especially if you’re a bit more of a pro when it comes to making your own manis.
‘Another option, which is trickier, is to apply the brighter pink cloud with nail varnish and a sponge,’ said Charlotte.
‘To diffuse the colour out you need to do this by blotting with a sponge until the edge is blended and subtle.’
For the whole winter image, you should coordinate your “cold girl mani” with your “cold girl attire” and your “cold girl makeup.” Brrr.
