Autumn manicure: trends 2024
Colors
This season, both classic autumn and subdued nude shades are relevant.
- Chocolate. Warm shades of brown are associated with essential autumn attributes: hot chocolate and a blanket thrown over the shoulders on a cold evening.
- Rich red. Bright and dazzling like autumn leaves, choose your perfect shade of red to add a pop of color to your look.
- Cherry. Deep rich burgundy or dark terracotta will be a perfect match for your autumn wardrobe. You can also add a pearlescent shimmer to them.
- Smoky grey. The color of fog and cool autumn evenings. Gray shades on hands go well with warm knitted items. “You can use a duo of gray and burgundy in your manicure and experiment with textures,” says Irina Kudoyarova, founder of the IVA nails and Ta2 brands. “These shades look great under both glossy and matte top coats.”
- Nude. It remains at the peak of popularity in the fall. The range of shades is from creamy foam with a slight shimmer to a cold nude. It is important to choose a varnish that matches your skin tone. “Beige can be diluted with gold or silver shimmer to convey the atmosphere of the last sunny days,” says Tamara Isachenko, IQ Beauty technologist. “Complement beige shades with a golden glow, choose beige-pink in cold tones with shimmering berry gold leaf or beige-gray with the same effect.”
- Unusual shades. For those who like to stand out, a rich red shade of wild berries will be a revelation. Minimalistic manicure in this color is the peak of trends. Tamara Isachenko advises experimenting: “The fashionable shade can be made both glossy and matte, or complemented with a transition to mother-of-pearl to create an even more interesting effect.”
Form
This season, fashion is betting on softness and naturalness in the shape of nails.
- Soft square. Forget about sharp corners. A small square with soft corners is not only stylish, but also practical. This shape also allows you to leave a little length, giving the manicurist more space for creativity.
- Almond. The medium-length almond shape is the epitome of natural beauty. It looks like your own nails, even if they are extensions. “The natural trend we loved in the summer is smoothly moving into the fall: their “Well-groomed nails are the main accent of this season,” notes Tamara Isachenko, IQ Beauty technologist.
Design
Nail design also hasn't been without the trend for naturalness. Ornate colors and abstract patterns are giving way to natural chic, conciseness and elegance. “Simplicity and minimalist designs are the main trend of the season,” reminds Irina Kudoyarova.
- Patterns created by nature. Pay attention to rough textures that imitate stone or leather. Animal prints are especially popular – for example, tortoiseshell or crocodile. Such nail designs are a bold decision for those who are not afraid of experiments.
- Vtirka. In the fall of 2024, experts unanimously recommend creating the illusion of depth and shimmer on your nails using volumetric rubbing. The “cat's eye” or “silk cat” effect will add mystery to your look. A matte finish will give your nails a velvety feel, while a glossy, iridescent finish will add brightness and shine.
- Minimalism with a twist. A single-color coating is always a win-win option. But if you want to add a twist, try combining different textures and techniques on several nails. For example, you can make a print or rubbing on the ring and middle fingers or on the thumb. “To make a single-color coating look unusual, you can use an accent on the lunulae or micro-French,” advises Irina Kudoyarova, founder of the IVA nails and Ta2 brands.
