Nails: Top 5 Winter Polishes 2022

As today is Yule, the Winter Solstice signalling the start of the official winter season in the Northern Hemisphere I thought now would be a good time to share my top five winter polishes. I have done similar blog posts in previous years 2021 (here), 2020 (here), 2019 (here), 2018 (here), 2017 (here) and 2016 (here).

Nails Inc Pudding Lane // A England St. George // Orly You're on Sapphire // Barry M Berry Cosmo // Orly Naughty

Pudding Lane - I seem to wear more white during winter than summer, either way its a good base for snow based nail art. This is an off white cream finish polish.

St. George - A good dark green holo polish.

You're on Sapphire - A dark blue shimmer, quite an icy shade.

Berry Cosmo a dark purple but clearly is a purple not a black, cream finish polish.

 Naughty - And finally a deep oxblood cream polish, winter is a time I reach for dark polishes more often.
