Step into the New Year with Stunning January Nail Designs
When the holiday glitter settles and January rolls in, no one’s nails need to lose their magic. Those sparkly festive designs might be packed away with the decorations, but January shines with a new kind of nail artistry. We gathered inspiration straight from runway shows and the inventive minds behind the manicure table. This month can be a fresh start in nail fashion. Let’s step into the new year with stunning January nail designs!
What Nail Colors and Styles to Wear in January?
What’s the vibe for January? Trend number one is classic burgundy. It’s stylish and suitable for many different outfits and occasions. Plus, deep reds come in both warm and cool tones so there’s a polish to flatter every complexion.
Next, the holidays are past but their glitter lives on. This new year continues to revel in chromes, metallics, and shimmer polishes. Treat yourself to cat eye polish and that glitter you’ve always wanted to try!
Moreover, 3D nails are in vogue and there are many ways to create them. These touchable textures include pearls, gems, rhinestones, charms, and sculpted nail art.
As for shape and length, short and square are having a moment, but don’t be afraid to stick with what you love. We live in a time where personal style is more important than looking like everyone else. Enjoy this era to the maximum!

Delicious Brown Shades
Yes, brown nails were a fall fashion, and they continue to be a hit this winter. Everything from espresso and chocolate to bronze and chestnut are fair game this January. Moreover, this color looks lovely in geometric patterns with shades like black, white, and gold. Once you find the perfect brown shade that matches your skin tone, treat yourself to a cozy, sophisticated manicure.

Surprise Shade for January
Burnt orange and russet were popular in autumn, and they continue to spice up January. What’s more, celebrity nail artist Jenny Bui recommended fighting off the winter blues with a brighter hue like Juzi Orange from Après. This suggestion actually isn’t surprising coming from this award-winning artist known for her unique creations.
We mentioned 3D nail art, and here’s a way to combine cozy with creative. Pumpkin orange cable knit texture, raised dots, and white snowflakes with swirls check all the boxes.
Extra Strength Pick-me-up to Fight Winter Blahs
Nail artists are experiencing increased demand this winter for chrome and glitter nails, and it wasn’t just because of the holidays. Those shiny fingertips make us feel perkier. Silver chrome has been especially popular, perhaps because it feels futuristic.
Also, jelly polishes and transparent looks like glass nails are getting lots of attention. Here’s a way to combine jelly nails with silver chrome plus orange for an unforgettable manicure.

Tortie Nails
Tortoiseshell nail designs have been making a big comeback. The traditional coloring swirls brown, black, and orange, but you can swap orange for amber or virtually any other color. Full coverage tortoiseshell patterns are mesmerizing as they create the illusion of depth. Some artists specialize in tortie tips, too.
Bow Nails and Ribbons
You can’t go wrong with ribbons and bows on your fingertips. Coquette nails continue to influence winter looks.
As for plaid, never fear, it’s not going away anytime soon. Burberry-inspired patterns add cozy warmth and sophistication to winter nail art.
Jewel Tones Are Enchanting
Deep red, dark blue, royal purple, and vibrant green are excellent choices for January nail designs. Green is actually taking the lead at the moment. We suspect it’s due to the movie Wicked. Cynthia Erivo’s nails and the Emerald City influence have definitely had an impact on fashion. With that said, we couldn’t resist these 3D green chrome nails that take the boxes for jewel tones, textures, and a metallic finish.
What Are Safe Choices for January Nail Designs?
Not everyone wants to step out in a brand-new look in the middle of winter. Some of us would rather hunker down and wait for warmer weather. In that case, we suggest burgundy nails or choosing something nude and natural. Classic fashion suggests a neutral palette like white, black, beige, or gray with flattering nudes. Add a dash of silver or gold and you’ll turn these “boring” colors into something elegant that feels like quiet luxury. You can even add minimal details like a single stone or pearl.
Another trick is to use chrome powder to create a glaze over a neutral, nude, or classic color like burgundy or navy. The result looks extra glossy and iridescent. It’s a big payoff for just a little extra effort.

Unforgettable French Tips
Even if all you do this January is freshen up your nails with classic colors and French tips, you can create an unforgettable look with a few artistic touches.
Nude Velvet Nails
Cat eye polish has rapidly gained popularity for its beautiful, multi-dimensional effects. The possibilities really are endless, from shimmery velvet looks to incredible customized designs.
There are two crucial things you need to know about cat eye polish. First, shake the polish well before using it, and continue to mix it while applying it. Otherwise, the reflective particles will settle to the bottom of the bottle and your application won’t have as much sparkle as it could.
Second, it’s wise to work on one nail at a time, finishing the design and curing it before moving on to the next. This ensures that your hard work doesn’t come undone as the polish settles.

If you’d like to give your nails a break, choose a healthy clear or nude polish and give them extra TLC with cuticle oil and nail slugging overnight. A little gold embellishment will give nude nails a luxurious touch.
