When it comes to winter, the color pink isn’t a shade that comes quickly to mind. For this nail look though, pink will become your next go-to color. A baby pink shade can be used on your pinky, thumb, and index fingers. To bring that extra glam, use a glitter shade on the ring finger. Now for the holiday touch, add a gift bow detail with a white nail polish on the middle finger.
