Here’s how you can *nail* your look this season.
Whether you love classic autumn neutrals, prefer minimal sombre shades or can’t do without a pop of colour, there is a fall 2021 nail trend out there for your to covert. Create some magic on your mini canvases as you step out, and paint on one or more of these striking manicure styles on your digits.
1. Autumnal Swirls
Here’s a neutral-toned, wavy manicure with gold highlights to level up your mani game. Keep the design minimal by adding upto 3 layers, or choose to make it more complex by adding more. Pair it with some chunky gold rings to dress up your look.
2. Long Falsies
Go big or go home. If you, like Billie Eilish, enjoy going overboard with your lengths, this is the look for you. Stick to an earthy solid colour tone in keeping with autumnal vibes.
3. Alternating Fall Shades
Can’t make up your mind on which colour to go for? Why not try a different shade on each nail. From olive green to pumpkin orange, this classic assortment of hues is sure to give you a feel for autumn.
4. A Classic Dark Red
A flattering colour for Indian skin tones, red never goes out of style. Take a cue from Katrina Kaif.
5. Flower Pressed Nails
As pretty as a flower, this dainty mani is for those who like their nails fresh and delicate. Layer a clear or mildly tinted nail paint over pressed flowers and foil. Blake Lively’s gorgeous red carpet manicure serves as the ultimate Pinterest-y nail inspo.
6. Contrasting Turquoise
If browns, blacks and other neutral shades form a large part of your fall wardrobe, experiment with gorgeous turquoise and mint shades to balance out your look and add a pop of colour. Our inspiration? This high-shine, eggsheel blue nail lacquer we spotted in the #GucciLinkToLove jewellery campaign.
7. Retro Feels
Get your nails autumn-ready by adding muted colours to retro designs. Flowers might be more of a spring thing, but mustard and caramel hues makes for a perfect fall match.
8. Ombré Marbled Nails
Ombré nails with a marble texture and a rose gold squiggle running down the middle, add luxury to your digits. Olive green adds an earthy touch, for a style that begs to be noticed. Get ready to spam Instagram with your artsy ombré look.
9. Matte and Gloss Combo
The easiest way to ace this trend is to apply a rich matte base colour and DIY the French with a clear gloss. Case-in-point: This deliciously dark mani see in Prabal Gurung’s Pre-Fall 21 lookbook.
10. Gold French Tips
Oval nails are going to be *major* this fall. Elevate yours by painting your tips gold. Pair with stackable rings that match for a striking effect.
