Latte patterned nails
Choosing one of your favorite nail trends, like latte nails, and incorporating it into this 3D pattern makes for an extra cozy and inviting look. You also don't have to apply the 3D knit vibe to every nail. Opting for a couple of nails to stand out with the pattern is a great way to go.
An accent nail
Highlight the 3D sweater weather pattern on a single nail, and then surround the star of the show with some of your other favorite hues and tones to make for a beautiful, trendy manicure. Mix and match –- or add some glitter. You can never go wrong with that move in our book.
Earth tones
Try an earthy-toned manicure featuring the knit sweater pattern on a cascade of wintery green and brown nails. The trend can be bold or subtle and looks incredibly cute when paired with an actual sweater. The ultimate cozy design for the colder months, the sweater weather mani really invokes feelings of warmth and comfort.
All curled up
