Between the romantic echo of Valentine’s Day and the need for a subtle glow in the heart of winter, our nails are inspired by the 2025-2026 haute couture silhouettes. Velvety berry, frosted lilas, cloudy beige, or even icy glitter… Ready for an overview of the current manicure trends? Spoiler: with the Manucurist polish color palette, you’ll want to try them all.
Love Bug: 3 soft and fresh polish colors
We start with a trio of romantic and delicate nail polishes – a must to make your hands shine this February, to try in classic Green™ polishes or Green Flash™ semi-permanent polishes. Also find the full range in organic nail polishes, in the Green™ bio-sourced spirit.
Lilas: the pastel soft power
Both delicate and airy, lilas blue is making a comeback. We even spotted it in all its glory at the latest Carolina Herrera runway show… When it comes to nail polish, our Lilas is no exception. On fair skin, this pastel blue polish with a mauve tint creates a subtle contrast and brightens the hands. On dark skin, it’s spectacular: couture effect guaranteed. Pair it with an oversized cream sweater and perfectly cut straight jeans for a very effortless “French girl” vibe. Short, rounded nails love it; on long nails, it becomes sophisticated.
Candy: the good mood pink
Candy is this pink polish pop with a slight bluish shimmer. A bright and addictive shade, like a tangy sweetness, that instantly brightens the manicure… just like that beautiful strapless dress seen at Courrèges. On very fair skin, it has an ultra-fresh pink effect. On medium skin, the contrast is flattering, chic, and subtle. On dark skin, it brings incredible brightness. A perfect shade to accompany an all-white look or a pastel blazer. Its little extra? Candy works great on short and perfectly filed nails.
Pomegranate: the passionate red (that never fails)
Impossible to imagine February without an intense garnet red polish… and no one at Alexander McQueen would say otherwise! On the polish side, Pomegranate reinvents tradition with a bright and vibrant shade. It is the perfect ally for Valentine nails, festive without being too classic. All skin tones love it! On fair skin, it has a “porcelain” finish; on medium skin, a more glamorous finish; on dark skin, an irresistible depth. With a black blazer, a red satin top, or simple raw denim, this red is irresistible. On oval nail shapes, it’s ideal, but with short square nails, it gives a very fashionable look to your hands.
Love bug, our trio of fresh and so romantic colors!

Berry & Butter: to gently get through winter
A trio of trendy nail colors inspired by the delicious shades spotted on the runways: a pale yellow, a deep burgundy, and a blended beige. Unbeatable polish colors to warm up this late cold season.
Lemonade: the sunny pastel
A yellow polish softly glittered, almost creamy, reminiscent of the light on a February morning… here is Lemonade. A super trendy color, emblematic of Butter nails, also spotted at the latest Givenchy show. Medium and dark skin love it: it becomes a fresh, modern statement color. Wear it with pearl gray, off-white, or lavender pieces for an ultra-trendy pastel combo. Lemonade is fabulous on short, neat nails or in a minimalist nail art French manicure style.
Prune: the couture trend of winter
Deep, enveloping, mysterious, Prune is one of the major 2026 trends seen on haute couture runways. Just look at the wonderful draped dress by Mame Kurogouchi. What about skin tones? This burgundy polish enhances fair skin for an art deco effect. On medium skin, opt for metallic effects, the ideal combo for evening events. And it dresses the nails of dark skin with maximum intensity. You can easily pair it with an XXL blazer, a column dress black tie, or a full denim look. With its black cherry red color, it intensifies the silhouette like never before. Prefer long or medium-length nails so it can reveal all its depth. Forget black polish, choose Blood Moon nails instead!
Dove Beige: absolute softness
Dove Beige is this pretty soft beige polish, slightly grayish - a winter wardrobe essential, also seen at Christian Wijnants this season. A polish color close to nude shades that offers your nails an effortless chic aesthetic. Ideal for fans of sheer nails and other soap nails! Thanks to its neutral base, it wonderfully complements any skin tone and suits all nail shapes. With gray tailored pants, an off-white knit & camel boots, it’s so chic! Already available in Green™, find it in Green Flash™ version from January 30, 2026.
Butter nails, Blood Moon nails, Sheer nails, manicure trends invite you in February.

Frozen Hearts: to breathe warmth and cold
A trio of frosted polish colors straight from the Fall-Winter runways: incandescent red, an iced pink, and a silver glitter.
Lava: the warm intensity to counter the cold
Impossible to resist the warmth of Lava, this vibrant red polish infused with a hint of orange, which brings a bit of sunshine to the gray days of February. A dynamic color that pulses at your fingertips, spotted on the fabulous fringed dress from the latest Ferragamo runway. It is particularly flattering on medium and dark skin tones. On fair skin, it has a very fashionable, almost avant-garde look. Wear it with an oversized white shirt or a piece in warm neutral tones (beige sand, natural linen) for a soft, sunny Riviera harmony. Complete the look with gold jewelry to embrace the warm energy of this pop red. It enhances short or long nails, with almond, oval shapes as well as rounded square shapes, even stiletto. The goal? Let it glow!
Blossom: the sheer iced pink
Among the winter trend colors, this very frost-bitten blush pink spotted on the Simone Rocha catwalk. Just like our charming Blossom, a creamy, soft, and velvety pale pink. On fair skin, Blossom reveals its freshness and softens the skin texture. On medium skin, it offers a bright, polished finish, in the spirit of sheer nails. On dark skin, the shade transforms into a bright pastel pink, modern and elegant. Pair it with luminous neutrals (off-white, ivory, rosy beige) for a very early spring look; pastels (lavender, sky blue, soft mint) for a soothing color harmony; or with denim (light jeans + oversized denim jacket) for a simple, soft casual combo. The ideal shape to highlight the softness of this shade? Short rounded. A clean, neat, and ultra-chic effect guaranteed. It will also beautifully highlight squoval nails.
Disco: February’s glitter
To extend the festive mood, choose Disco, this sparkling glitter polish that showers your claws with silver metallic effects. For a shiny and bold manicure! The same goes for the look, with Versace. A stunning shade for a winter break in the mountains or as an accent nail for a nail art statement. On fair skin, this glitter polish creates a stunning “frosted” effect. On medium skin, the glitter stands out more for a contemporary look. On dark skin, the silver becomes more vibrant, almost mirror-like. Wear it with a ski suit to add fun on the slopes; a warm white Irish sweater or an all-black outfit for a more graphic contrast.
Hot or icy, your nails will steal hearts this winter.

The right manicure habits in February
Winter calls for a careful manicure routine. Here are our essentials to keep nails full of vitality:
Generously hydrate
Cold weather can weaken the appearance of hands. A good reason to adopt the following three care products:
- Nail Moisturizing Duo, a care duo to pamper nails suffering from a lack of hydration. It combines the Base Vitaminée, formulated with nourishing ingredients like aloe vera, vitamin C, and ginseng, and the Complete Serum, designed to provide optimal hydration thanks to its formula enriched with vegetable glycerin and chestnut extracts. A 2-week treatment will help your nails regain their natural balance.
- Hand Crème that wraps the skin in a comfortable veil with no greasy or sticky finish. Its formula enriched with coconut oil, rapeseed wax, and aloe vera brings softness and suppleness, while leaving a delicate rose scent. We love it!
Nail Moisturizing Duo and Hand Crème, your BFFs to hydrate nails and hands.
Stimulate nail growth
To support beautiful length, we immediately turn to:
- Kératine Booster, an expert concentrate designed to support nails prone to fragility and lack of tenue. Its biomimetic formula, rich in plant keratin, silicon, and biotin, supports the natural structure of the nail and helps it regain a more uniform and resistant appearance. As for its fluid texture, it penetrates instantly. Apply it 1 to 3 times a day for one week.
- Nail Boost dietary supplements, concentrated in vitamins, minerals, and natural origin extracts (brewer’s yeast, blueberry) to strengthen nails deeply and stimulate their growth. Take as an intensive cure for fragile nails or lack of tenue (2 capsules per day for 3 months) or as a maintenance cure to prolong effects or maintain a beautiful appearance (1 capsule per day for 2 months).
Boost your nails on the surface and in depth with the Kératine Booster and the Nail Boost dietary supplements.
