Metallics will continue to be popular in 2024, making gold a great choice for your February nail look. “Gold [reads] stylish, glamorous, and eye-catching for any nail look,” Haye says.
This month marks the transition from winter to spring, and it's the perfect time to embrace soft and pastel shades. Try a lovely lavender or lilac color to capture the essence of blooming flowers. Alternatively, opt for a mint green or baby blue hue to create a refreshing and calming manicure.
Aside from dark shades of navy blue, baby blue nails are yet another pastel manicure trend that is set to take winter 2024 by storm. “Light blue stands out beautifully,” Schuetz muses. Joseph chimes in to say: “I'm sure blue pastel with chrome will be around all winter as well to give a frosty, snowy look.”
Amethyst is usually associated with courage. It's also said that the wearer of this semiprecious gemstone will benefit from its cleansing and healing properties.
Red conveys a direct attraction and is associated with sensuality and erotic interest. Black, one of the favorite colors, is considered particularly trendy and is therefore also associated with attractiveness.
As we kickstart 2024, there are many ways to approach your manicure. For example, the January birthstone is garnet, so sultry red nail looks are fitting for the month. Then there's the fact that January falls in the dead of winter, so anything icy or blue can work, too.

For one, it seems to suggest that men are more attracted to women who have red nails. This is likely because the color red is associated with passion and excitement, which are qualities that many men find attractive in a partner.
