    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The beginning of a new year often has us all feeling like starting off fresh by taking on better habits, getting rid of old ones, and—most commonly—changing up our look. While others are hitting the squats and going into the salon for a pixie cut, why not start slow and steady with a cozy winter manicure in a color that feels new to you? It takes only a little courage to step outside your usual OPI Lincoln Park After Dark or Essie Bordeaux, which is all you need to kick 2022 off on a fanciful foot.  From new wintry takes on classic dark nail colors to unique pops of color that'll have you feeling the opposite of boring, these are the best nail colors to try this January and tick off all the way into spring.

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    There's no denying how the pandemic fundamentally changed the world—including how we live (and work) inside our homes. An overall trend toward celebrating the history and originality of our homes is displacing ultramodern aesthetics and sharp lines as we all look to create cozier, colorful, more personalized spaces that better suit our lifestyles. We're turning away from big-box stores and toward vintage items—first, out of necessity due to supply-chain issues, and now, for design reasons—to add charm and character to every room in the house, including the kitchen. Here, interior designers from around the South share their predictions for what's trending in kitchen design for 2022 and beyond.

Got Myself Into a Jam-Bayla
Credit: OPI
OPI takes the cake for brilliant and punny nail polish colors. To say we're swooning over these colors would be an understatement. We're not ones to admit we chose our nail polish color solely based on its name (we so did), but choosing a whitty name does make for a memorable salon experience. Go ahead and make a daring statement with a nail polish shade that's as quirky and cool as you. We can't help but wonder if these names were handpicked for us. With bright shades that simply "Can't Be Beet" and calming neutrals that certainly "Tickle My France-y," there's no wrong color choice to pick from. Before you head to the salon for your mani-pedi, browse this fun list of OPI nail polish names that will elevate your look from safe spirit fingers to flashy jazz hands.
