Being an It girl isn’t just photo shoots, brunch at that place where no one else can get a reservation, fashion week pap walks, and bottle service at the club. This status also means knowing when to put on your fuzziest socks and keep it low-key (cool girls enjoy a Grey’s Anatomy marathon too). So, when winter rolls around and a minidress isn’t insulated enough for your taste, you can skip the red carpet and opt for a dazzling pedicure instead.
A shape-shifting multichrome black gives darkened club vibes, like sweating on a dance floor lit by a disco ball and vibrant blue laser lights. Deep, rich oxblood gives classic winter reds a gothic femme-fatale upgrade. Shimmery champagne-hued toes evoke the glass of bubbly you’d have at that Metropolitan Opera gala where you simply must make an appearance at. And deep sapphire gives the kind of counterculture cool girl who skips the gala hobnobbing for popping bottles with friends and stirring up good trouble around the town.
Espresso brown is a deeper, sexier take on nudes for winter, while plum makes for an elegant pedicure that feels unexpected. And, to really throw everyone for a loop, ditch the heavy winter hues for ballerina pink, even adding a holographic finish if that ballerina has a rebellious streak.
With these trending, edgier pedicure colors, the party will come to you (and your fuzzy socks, as the case may be). Below, our experts break down the colors to keep handy this season.
