01 Ice Velvet

Start the new year with a sophisticated accent by opting for an icy velvet manicure. The delicate nude lacquer gives the shimmering design elegance and versatility, perfect for any occasion.

02 Intense Red

In January, shades of red remain relevant, but special attention should be paid to deep jelly red. This rich and radiant colour looks truly luxurious, perfectly accentuating winter elegance.

Here's an original way to experiment with black nail polish. Apply a neutral base and then decorate each nail with elegant black curved patterns. This design looks modern, elegant and emphasises the uniqueness of the manicure.

04 Pink nails

Sometimes less is more, and this sophisticated manicure perfectly emphasises the elegance of minimalism. To create a similar effect, just apply a few coats of soft pink or nude polish to emphasise the natural beauty of your nails.
