AUTUMN is officially here and we have compiled a list of the hottest autumn nail trends to have you looking trendy, stylish and confident. Latte nails
This warm caramel beige shade has recently dominated the fashion and style world. From clothes and shoes to make-up, hair and accessories the latte hue is in vogue.
It is an ideal autumn nail colour choice as it reflects warmth, depth, richness and simplicity and aligns with the hugely popular “clean-girl” and natural beauty aesthetic.
Latte nails are considered a neutral colour that suits a variety of skin tones.
And while it can add allure to your outfit, hair and make-up, it is minimalist enough to complement most looks.
This trend is dressy without being it being too loud, which makes it ideal for a variety of occasions, including home, work and social gatherings.
Red nails
The red-nail revolution has gone viral on social media as it is regarded as a declaration of boldness, confidence and passion.
The hashtag #rednailtheory, which has amassed more than 164 million views on Tiktok, is also sparking a suggestion that painting your fingertips in this shade could be the key to attracting a partner.
Research shows that the colour red
is associated with attraction and desire across cultures, with some studies even demonstrating that women who wear red are more likely to catch a man’s eye.
And while red nails are a versatile accessory for any fashion style, you can opt for a range of different hues in the shade this autumn.
From malbec to burgundy and maroon, there is a shade of red to suit any preference.
Two-tone manicure
Add a bit of edge to a sophisticated manicure this autumn with a two-tone manicure. This nail trend, also referred to as dark French tips, involves adding a colour of your choice to a sheer natural base.
For autumn, warm shades like brown, beige or dark green are trendy
choices as the second manicure colour.
For a playful twist, choose hot pink, burnt orange or glitter as part of the two-tone manicure trend.
The trend is a playful and refreshing take on the traditional style as it adds a touch of sophistication and elegance. These variations allow you to mix things up and add a touch of uniqueness to your manicure while deviating from the classic white.
Chrome nail
As seen on the runway and during Hollywood’s award season, chrome is a major style trend.
This is a unique and powerful way to add that something extra to your fingertips as temperatures dwindle. Much of the appeal is that chrome can come in any colour, making it a versatile option.
It gives your nails a high shine and a seamless mirror-look style.
Short nails
This aligns with the “clean-girl” beauty aesthetic, a style which is all about embracing authenticity and minimalism.
It centres around natural beauty, and health, going back to basics and echoing quiet luxury.
Short nails are easier to maintain and fit into every lifestyle – there is no need for extra protection or products, which is often needed to keep your long nails intact.
But this trend doesn’t have to be boring as short nails can still be painted with a shade of your choice.
For that extra pizazz, add some glitter, designs or other features to make your nails stand out this season.
