When it comes to January nail trends, you can expect to see a lot of milky white and sheer pink shades floating around. It’s a new year, so it’s no wonder that people are opting for this fresh, minimalist nail aesthetic. However, in my opinion, nothing is chicer than a deep, dark nail colour to start the year right.
Whilst I usually lean towards navy and forest green tones, lately I’ve been seeing experts opt for an equally sophisticated and timeless shade that is making me want to switch things up at my next salon appointment. Yes, I’m talking about maroon nails.
The perfect mix of brown and red, this deep nail colour looks impossibly elegant. It’s a nice move away from the festive red nail shades we saw on the run-up to Christmas, but it still feels wintery enough to wear throughout January and February. No wonder I’ve seen it trending on Google lately. Additionally, if you’re tired of burgundy polishes but want something similar, it’s a stylish alternative. Trust me, all the fashion girls will be sporting this nail colour in the coming weeks.
Below, I’ve rounded up some of my favourite maroon nail looks, so I highly suggest that you keep on scrolling.
