The five biggest nail art trends to try this autumn

As the seasons change, there’s never been a better time to revamp your manicure with one of this season’s hottest trends. Whether you’re into edgy details, bold colours or chic minimalist styles, these five nail art trends will keep your manicure fresh and fabulous throughout autumn. So, which trend will you try first?

Autumnal French Tips

The classic French manicure is getting a sultry upgrade this autumn, thanks to dark French tips on top of a delicate and sheer colour to give you an edgy look. The contrast between the neutral base and the dark tips adds an unexpected pop of colour, while maintaining the minimalist vibe of a French manicure. Pick quintessentially autumnal shades like burgundy, chocolate or olive green for an understated manicure with a seasonal twist.

Animal Print

Animal print nails are making a fierce comeback this autumn. From leopard spots to tortoiseshell and even tiger stripes, this trend is perfect for anyone looking to make a statement with their manicure. The key to nailing this look is to keep it balanced by combining animal prints with neutral bases like in Townhouse’s latest AW24 design, Roaring Elegance.

Metallica 

Shiny, futuristic nails are here to stay this season, with chrome and metallic finishes taking centre stage. For a touch of high-fashion glamour to your nails, chrome shades like silver, gold and jewel-toned metallics are the perfect choice. If you want a more subtle take on the trend, you can always opt for a French manicure with chrome tips.

Bold Hues 

Nothing says autumn more than deep, rich shades. Whether you opt for merlot, black cherry or deep wine shades, this trend embraces deep, full-bodied hues that are guaranteed to complement any autumn wardrobe. These rich shades exude style and sophistication, making them perfect for evenings out or for simply elevating your everyday style.

Sheer Style

Don’t be fooled in thinking sheer nails are only for summer, because for those who prefer a more understated look, the good news is this trend is here to stay. Opt for a classic nude, soft pink or a subtle shimmer for a polished look without the commitment of a bold colour. This Frosted Petals design from Townhouse gives a nod to the trend while adding some unique and eye-catching accents on individual nails to create a delicate and ethereal look.
