Mod Monochrome Nails

Mod monochrome nails are an exciting trend to embrace this fall, from geometric designs to eye-catching patterns – these chic looks will keep your look trendy yet chic.

Give your basic French manicure modern flair by incorporating design and colors inspired by Yayoi Kusama’s iconic polka dot artworks into its design and colors. Try creating this look yourself for added fun.

Color-Blocking and Gradient Manicures

Color-blocking nails are another stylish way to channel the mod aesthetic. Instead of opting for traditional black and white colors, mix and match shades to create an eye-catching gradient on your fingertips. Choose one shade per nail, or varying hues across both hands – either way this manicure is sure to turn heads!

We love the combination of burgundy and pink nails pictured above; this color scheme will complement an olive complexion beautifully. But you could also take another approach and go monochromatic, opting for blueberry milk nails – as seen on everyone from Dua Lipa to fashion blogger Atiana De La Hoya!

Mod nail art can take your modern nails one step further with metallic silver and gold manicures that exude minimalist chic. Just remember to top off this look with a glossy topcoat to maintain that vibrant shine while protecting them from chipping too!

Pastel Hues

Mod hues can make for an engaging and eye-catching combination when layered with geometric designs, making this off-kilter mod look the ideal look for autumn.

Soft pastel hues like blue, pink and lavender evoke an alluring yet delicate aesthetic. Versatile pastel colors such as these make them easy to combine with other colors – Commission Studio used their whimsical pastels in combination with darker tones in designing this brand identity for innovation agency Franklin Till.

Gold accents can elevate any monochrome look, adding elegance and modernity. Start with a basic white French manicure using a striping nail tool before adding daisies in pastel yellow hues like OPI’s Alpine Snow for a timeless yet chic aesthetic.

For an all-year mod look, choose creamy neutrals that complement your natural skin tone. Light beige tones like Icelanded a Bottle of OPI and Samoan Sand work wonders on fair complexions while earthy brown shades can work great on deeper colors. Plus adding gold accents can elevate this luxurious look.

Creamy Neutrals

Mod is in this season with a classic nude manicure enhanced by eye-catching black-and-gold spotted designs, perfect for Type As who want something different from traditional nail colors and paint styles.

Choose a warm-toned neutral like Glidden’s Color of the Year 2024, Limitless, as your base hue. This elegant cream hue reads as a modern off-white and pairs beautifully with both pastels and browns for an eye-catching aesthetic.

Use this creamy neutral as a blank slate, allowing other decorations and pops of color to take center stage. According to paint expert McCollum, this hue works especially well in earthy wood tones as well as formal spaces.

Try this classic neutral for your next interior project, such as a kitchen island or bathroom vanity. This transitional greige leans more toward beige than white, making it suitable for pairing with lighter cool tones as well as darker moody browns. Use furniture and accessories made of various materials ranging from inlaid brass, glossy gold and matte nickel – no matter your interior scheme!
