Marble manicures & 11 more of our fave nail looks to stand out this January

Inspired by the natural veins of organic marble, this technique creates a unique, high-end look. Whether you opt for romantic pastels or high-contrast, moody combinations, the possibilities for customisation are endless.

We love a winter that wraps us in a blanket of white, and those snowy landscapes are the perfect inspiration for a captivating manicure. Designs featuring "frozen" textures and delicate chrome finishes are a real winner for anyone seeking a clean, flawless aesthetic.

Look for shades that evokes the warmth of hot cocoa or coffee with whipped cream. It's a tone that adds instant depth and sophistication to any look. Mocha Mousse - which was 2025's colour of the year - pairs perfectly with everything from casual knits to formal evening wear.

A subtle 3D gold design is the perfect way to add a touch of luxury to your winter manicure. This textured finish provides a hint of luminosity that pops beautifully against both lighter colours, above, and the season’s darker, moodier palette.

This a beautiful choice for those who like to be a bit mysterious. The trend blends the intensity of black with the warmth of deep crimson to create a "ripe cherry" hue. It's undeniably versatile - striking enough for a night out, yet subtle enough for the office.

While stunning "cat eye" nails dominate the festive season, the trend is evolving into something softer for January. Velvet nails offer a plush, luminous finish using magnetic pigments, but in gentler shades like pale pink or lavender for a more romantic, delicate touch.

The timeless French manicure is getting another daring makeover. This season, we're ditching the traditional white tips for original color combinations for a personalised twist. 

By experimenting with moody base colors and tips with a twist, this classic style now goes beyond the conventional.

"Grandmacore" nails are a tribute to the charming elegance of the past as epitomised by our grandmothers.

Characterised by designs that recall vintage Hollywood, one of our favourite looks from the trend focuses on simple, iconic reds that never go out of style.

Cinnamon tones are the ultimate "cosy" trend to combat the winter chill. This spice-inspired shade brings a sense of comfort and earthy sophistication to your hands. It looks equally stunning in a matte, minimalist finish or with a touch of sparkle that will get you noticed.

Few styles have stayed at the top of the trend reports as long as "tortie nails". The signature mottled pattern, inspired but a tortoise's shell, offers a fun versatility that works year-round.

Clean girl aesthetic nudes and "soap nails", noted for their sheer, ultra-glossy finish, remain a staple that pairs with any outfit. The beauty of this look lies in its simplicity, highlighting the healthy, natural beauty of your nails.

A tonal gradient involves applying different shades from the same color family to each nail, creating a soft, sophisticated transition. While earth tones like chocolate and burgundy are the go-to for winter, the "skittle" gradient possibilities are truly infinite.
