1. Ultimate Grey

For 2021, Pantone opted for the marriage of two complementary colors that symbolize resilience and hope. One of the two 'it colors' is ultimate grey—solid, dependable, and reassuring. And in times like these, boy, do we need a trending nail color that evokes feelings of composure, steadiness, and resilience.

Try on Dipwell's ultimate grey collection and find your signature shade of "rock solid".

• CLASSIC COLLECTION: light pearl grey | medium grey | mink shade | deep grey | deep shadow grey
• NATURALE COLLECTION: cool grey | light grey | oyster grey milk

2. Vibrant Yellow

The second Pantone color of the year 2021 is vibrant yellow (aka Illuminating). When you pair this burst-of-sunshine, optimistic color with ultimate grey, you exude a message of happiness supported by fortitude. Because we just need to feel like everything's gonna be alright, you know?

Look at these collections. Look how they shine for you. Yeah, they're all yellow.🎵

• CLASSIC COLLECTION: dirty dijon | sunflower yellow | sophisticated saffron
• GLITTER COLLECTION: citrus yellow | goldenrod yellow
• NEON COLLECTION: dayglo yellow | saffron yellow | highlighter yellow
• GLOW IN THE DARK COLLECTION: yellow that shines for you

3. Feel-good Green

It's like Billie Eilish's hair, but way toned-down. Why go for the muted version? Celebrity nail artist, Elle, explained to Allure, "Celebrities gravitate towards these colors for red carpets, cover looks, and everyday wear because they complete any look without a glaring statement. They are also calming colors that have a feel-good mood."

But if you'd rather choose a deeper forest green color for a more chic look, we have that shade in our green collection, too.

• CLASSIC COLLECTION: pine green | leafy green | fresh apple green
• GLITTER COLLECTION: key lime green | good luck green | emerald green
• NEON COLLECTION: soft neon green | bright neon green

4. "Nude" Brown

Elegant soft browns are perfect not only for fall and winter, but are also expected to continue to be a heavy hitter throughout the year. Versatile, indeed!

For an extra oomph on your nude brown nails, choose either the classic or glitter colors in these brown collections.

• CLASSIC COLLECTION: rich brown | hot chocolate brown
• GLITTER COLLECTION: shimmer chocolate nails
• NATURALE COLLECTION: tawny mid-tone nude

And because "nude" isn't a single color, we offer a wide spectrum of nude powders in our Naturale Collection to celebrate our beautiful skin tones, with more shades coming soon.

By the way, if you truly want bare nails, that's great, too! Just don't skimp on your nail care. Apply Cuticle Drops so your nails still look polished and presentable.

5. Hot Pink

We may not have a crystal ball that could predict the exact future, but we're confident that shades of pink will remain every bit as popular in 2021. "Pinks were a popular choice amongst designers this season, so I expect them to have a moment [this] year," says the Oprah Magazine color forecast.

For the new year, browse our pink collection and go bold with this beloved classic color.

• CLASSIC COLLECTION: fuchsia pink | taffy pink
• GLITTER COLLECTION: sparkly fuchsia pink | sparkly cotton candy pink
• NEON COLLECTION: magenta | bright raspberry |
• PASTEL COLLECTION: light coral pink |

1. French mani (with a twist)

Nail experts predict that the updated French manicure is coming in hot this year. Lucky for you, we've already created some tutorials that pair rich colors rather than the classic white tip you're familiar with.
