Nails are important to every Bucknell girl. With winter and the holidays approaching fast, nail lacquer companies are releasing their Winter 2013-2014 collections. Compared to past years, these particular collections have colors that are sparklier and contain glitter. Aside from the shimmering colors, the Winter 2013-2014 collections are unique because there are calm pastels and soft neutrals. Of course, the classic dark reds, hunter greens, and dark purples will also be making an appearance.

Essie has released two winter collections: Shearling Darling and Belugaria. In Shearling Darling, Essie has found inspiration in winter clothes like sweaters and mittens to inspire this collection’s six colors. The Belugaria collection is perfect for New Year’s since all the colors are extremely glittery. The Belugaria collection could also be used for the perfect accent nail, which is a trend when you put an accent on just one or two nails by painting them different colors.

OPI’s latest winter collection is Mariah Carey’s Holiday Collection. Every color has been personally selected by Mariah Carey. All eighteen colors come together to make the ideal combination of glitters and darker hues of red.

New to the nail polish scene, the nail lacquer brand Butter London gives us their Illusionists collection. Containing six colors, three of the colors are glittery while the other three are basic winter shades. Although more on the expensive side, Butter London’s collection is unique because the colors can be used as topcoats on other colors to add a unique hue to your nails.
