Winter can be a bummer of a season. Once the holidays come and go, it can seem a bit, well, boring. The season might not be freezing cold (depending on where

you live) and not as exciting as its carefree sister summer, but it does still have its pros. One, it's the coziest season of all! Two, the fashion is just amazing—boots, coats, hats, etc. And while we might not be donning all of those things since we're spending more time at home, sweatsuits have gotten really chic these days. Lastly, I find it's the perfect season for experimenting.

Experimenting, you say? Yes! Since the winter coincides with the New Year, we're all for trying new things, right? This year, one thing I'm looking forward to doing is mixing up my beauty routine, and I've decided to start with something that's not as drastic as a new haircut or dye job but that's still different: my nails. I rarely paint them and am pretty indifferent about it all, but with some extra time on my hands (pun sincerely not intended), I'm going to pamper my nails a little more in 2021.

To help, I asked a couple of fashion girls and nail artists to get me up to speed on all the winter nail trends. Here's the scoop.
