As temperatures drop to near freezing, even nail art yearns to cozy up, and we’re not only referring to nail polish shades.

Every year, especially during the festive season, the ‘knit’ nail art, translated as sweater-effect nails, comes back into fashion. These nails reproduce, in relief, the appearance of wool sweaters with ribs or braids that, at first glance, evoke a cozy feel.

Also known as sweater nails, they can be created on nails of any shape, although almond or oval-shaped nails are most recommended. If you’re seeking inspiration, we’ve selected some perfect ‘knit’ nail art designs to flaunt at holiday parties or throughout the winter.

The chosen colors for these manicures are all variations of white with silver accents or blues, like the daytime or nighttime sky in winter.

‘Knit’ Nail Art in the Color of the Year: Peach Fuzz

This selection wouldn’t be complete without a mention of the color that has already captured our hearts. We’re talking about the Pantone 2024 color, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz, a velvety peach that shines on the nails.
