These triangles with flecks of green jewel tones celebrate the holiday season without    being so obvious about it. And the super short length feels especially refreshing. It's          not surprising that the nail artist behind this mani, Hang Nguyen, works with Nailing Hollywood, an agency that represents some of Hollywood's coolest manicurists.

Nothing looks cozier than these heather gray sweater nails with a soft-white tribal     pattern. And unlike some of this other winter nail art, this design works just as well            on a late February day as it does during the holidays.

Textured nails that resemble chunky-cable-knit sweaters are among the most              popular winter nail designs on Instagram, probably because of how adorable they            look peeking out of fingerless gloves or wrapped around a mug of something hot.

These may be the most overtly Christmas-y nails on here, but they wouldn't be out              of place in January or February, especially if you swap out the snowflakes in favor of              a lace pattern.
