For some reason–perhaps the cold, gloomy weather–we tend to associate dark, moody colors with the winter season. Instead of bright, coral lipstick, we go for bordeauxs and blacks. Instead of glossy lids, we make multiple attempts at finally mastering our smoky eye. And instead of neon nail shades, we’d rather match our digits to the weather–think slate grays and jewel tones. However, if our trend forecast is any indication, the most popular nail polish colors for 2019 will be quite the opposite.
Whereas 2018 was all about moody deep tones like blue and purple, Lauren Berkovitz, CEO and Founder of polish brand Lauren B. Beauty told us bright colors and bold textures would be this year’s go-tos. For instance, neons like Lauren B’s #imjuicing and yellows like Coachella Valley Sun are more along the lines of what we can expect, in addition to glitter and other textured surfaces. And beyond color, we can also expect an uptick in the number of clean brands because now more than ever, we actually care about the stuff we’re putting on our nail beds.
Maybe you care enough to actually try one or all of these predictions. Perhaps you just want a new poppy color for your personal collection. Either way, any of these 15 bold hues–some new and some that have been around for awhile–fits the bill.
