Wearing dark colors for your winter nails can be a pretty, classy option for your nails in the January period after Christmas and New Years, but before Valentine’s Day.

This between festivities time offers a great opportunity to showcase some of winter’s darker nail colors, such as some of the moody blue hues out there.

Dark blue nails are perfect for blending into the atmosphere of cloudy winter days and staying cozy inside on colder, blustery days. 

They can also be reminiscent of the color many water bodies reflect during this low light time of year.

To celebrate this season of the year, below are swatches of some of the best dark blue nails for winter we’ve found yet.
