All the nail art inspiration you need before getting your next mani for the cooler season
Colours such as burgundy, rust and deep navy will always make for classic fall manicures, but just because they’ll never go out of style doesn’t mean you have to always wear them and retire those bright polishes and patterns for good in cooler weather.
So, to help you step up your nail game this fall, we reached out to Hong Kong’s top nail experts—Wing Au from Eightyeight, Christy Chan from Ooh La La Nails and Nancy Lau from The Nail Library—to find out what shades will be all the rage for the season, as well as the hottest, most beautiful nail art designs that are about to pop up all over your Instagram and Pinterest feeds.
From glittering crystals to playful mismatched nails to bold red tones, these are the best fall nail trends to keep in the camera roll for your upcoming nail appointment. Make sure you get on these looks before your friends do.
3D seashell nails
This seashell-inspired nail art is the answer to all your mermaid beauty dreams. Wait, did you think light blue hues and glitter were only a thing for summer? No, you don’t have to wear these tones just for the warmer weather. An ethereal creation, seen here at Eightyeight, is a perfect way to stand out amongst all the warm oranges and burgundies this season.
“Knowing the end of summer doesn’t mean the end of admiring the ocean,” says Wing Au, Manager at Eightyeight. “Sparkly 3D seashell nails is one of the key nail trends for fall/winter 2020, and it has been undergoing a modern resurgence with a new combination of various shimmery cat eye colours and unique seashell designs”, says Au. Grab a blue cat eye polish that works for you and add the 3D effects as an accent on one or two fingers. Decorate the nails with pearls or crystals for a more elegant result.
