Hot winter nail trends of 2021-2022 that are sophisticated, not silly

Hot winter nail trends of 2021-2022 that are sophisticated, not silly

by Lisa Barnes | Beauty + Cosmetics

We’ve all had the best time looking at the hot winter nail trends of 2021 into 2022, to help get our fingers up to date — if not our shoe collection. One limb at a time perhaps? When it comes to beauty trends, I love nail polish because it’s a...

Hi! We’re Kristen + Liz!



 Kristen Chase + Liz Gumbinner of Cool Mom Picks We started Cool Mom Picks in 2006 to help make life cooler, more meaningful, and more fun for parents of all kinds.

Trivia: It was called Cool Mom Sh*t for the first two days. (Yeah, we rethought that.)

We had no idea our site would grow to become a major lifestyle network, that we'd end up sharing our finds with the TODAY Show and Martha Stewart, that we'd be able to make a real difference for so many small businesses and women-run companies, or that we'd end up with an incredible community of the coolest readers on the planet. (If we do say so ourselves).

We still love what we do every single day. And we're so glad you're here.
