Of course, velvet nails cannot compete with fabric counterparts in terms of warmth and coziness, but they still have a special winter charm. With a subtle shimmer and slightly metallic effect, they can imitate an atmosphere of comfort and warmth, especially under certain lighting. When combined with deep dark shades like rich red, brown, and gray, the velvet finish becomes a true accent of a winter manicure. We’ve prepared 10 trendy velvet manicure ideas that are perfect for February and will create an atmosphere of winter magic.
