I Highly Support Still Painting Your Toenails in Winter—Try These Colors First

Of course, we can't have a winter nail color story without mentioning deep, dark reds. This wine-colored option is a total classic and will look good on your hands too.

This Essie polish is so deep it almost looks black when it's on your toes. It's a good option if you want something a little warmer than an onyx or ebony polish.

I love a deep navy because it's still as dramatic as black nail polish, but it's a little bit unexpected and unique. This one from Sally Hansen is a dark, creamy blue that's a quick-drying, long-lasting formula.

J.Hannah makes the cool nail polishes of the moment, and this blue option doesn't disappoint. Not surprisingly, it's understated and chic.

A dramatic dark green is perfect for winter, especially around the holidays. Olive and June's Into the Trees polish is a pretty evergreen hue that has a shiny, gel-like finish.

This deep shade of jade is perfect for a holiday look or the winter season in general.

Why not add some sparkle to your toes? This metallic option from OPI looks so good on all skin tones.

Glittery black nail polish is all at once edgy, dramatic, and eye-catching.

And if you really want to be festive for the holidays, why not go all in with a shimmery gold polish? Sephora Collection's version leaves a gel-like finish.

A neutral or nude nail polish on the toes is a no-brainer. This one is described as a a mauve-cream nude.

Described as a "toasty tan crème," this polish is a warmer neutral that you'll probably use year-round.

You don't have to worry about any chipping or dullness with this polish—it's formulated to deliver up to 11 days of gel-like wear and shine.

Sometimes, you want to try something other than a classic red or pink polish, and for those times, might I suggest a purple? I love this aubergine one from Emilie Heathe. And it doesn't hurt that the formula is nontoxic and vegan.

Lincoln Park After Dark is an iconic nail polish that, in my opinion, will never go out of style. It's the perfect balance of almost black and a deep, rich purple.

Gray polishes go with just about anything, and they look so good on the toes, too. Olive and June's 100% Chance polish is a gunmetal gray-blue.

For a darker option, try Zoya's Genevieve polish, which is described as a "cool leather gray."

I think white looks fresh on the toes, and it pretty much works for all seasons. But in the winter, you can play into the wintry-white theme. If you're looking for an opaque version, Sally Hansen's polish is highly rated.

And if you prefer something softer, this creamy white hue will do. It has a hint of pink.

Maybe you're wary of doing bold neons during summer, so now is the perfect time to experiment when your toes are wrapped up and you're getting used to having something super bright on them. Start it off with happy neon pink.

Neon green is a fun pick, and this one from China Glaze is long-lasting and chip-resistant and has vibrant color.

When the cold, dreary weather has got you down, opt for a sunny fluorescent yellow.
