Nail Polish 2024 Colors What’s Hot This Fall
Autumn brings with it cozy vibes and warm tones like brick red and cranberry-tinted burgundy, but you don’t need to turn your nails dark for this season.
Milky white polish remains a top trend for those seeking an unfussy yet contemporary aesthetic in 2024, as evidenced by runway shows from Helmut Lang and Proenza Schouler which featured this hue on models.
Red
Red is an iconic color that never goes out of style. For an eye-catching statement, opt for vibrant crimson or fiery orange to make an impactful statement, suggests Deborah Lippmann of Deborah Lippmann Manicurist & Spa and founder of her namesake brand. Or for something subtler yet still bold enough, warm raisin taupe complements most skin tones according to nail pro Julie Kandalec.
Lilac is an appealing option for those who prefer muted colors but still enjoy feminine style, says Kandalec. This hue can look especially lovely when worn with muted pastel sweaters or coats during wintertime.
Cobalt blue adds an energetic pop of color, while steel blue exudes sophistication and polish. Both shades work great for winter wardrobes – be it velvet blazers or adorable hat and bootie combinations.
Black
Black nails add drama and polish to any ensemble, from casual wear to elegant office settings. Their chic appearance in matte finish looks stylish yet sleek; and with gold glitter accents they even look seductive!
If you’re searching for an elegant black shade, give OPI’s classic black nail lacquer a try – it has over 13,000 five-star reviews and dries down to an impeccable jet black without turning blue or purple in bright light.
KBShimmer offers another fantastic choice in black nail art with this linear holo effect for dark skin tones, which looks stunningly chic!
Spring’s pastel hues are both playful and feminine. Robin’s egg blue, barbie pink, buttercream yellow, key lime pie are all perfect choices for an eye-catching girly manicure; for something a bit more refined and sophisticated lilac nails are a beautiful choice that exude juicy sun-ripened vibes while complementing nail art designs beautifully.
Milky White
If you’re in search of a soft, feminine yet classic and refined manicure look no further than this milky white hue. Reminiscent of cloudy skies or whole milk (more opaque than nonfat and not matte like Wite-Out or heavy whipping cream), pair this shade with abstract white designs for a modern take on manicure trends or wear it alone for chic everyday looks.
If your nails are long and full of ridges, try applying thin coats of polish in thin applications for an effortless satin finish that’s streak-free and great to pair with metallic nail art! Additionally, it makes a lovely base color when worn alongside metallic designs!
Green will undoubtedly be one of the defining colors in 2024. Seen on runways and in nail designs such as marble and swirl, it pairs beautifully with sage green French tips – we particularly recommend Mineral Fusion Olive You and Londontown Sedona to add a sophisticated spin on this trend.
Green
Green is one of the hottest nail colors this spring. This soothing hue adds style flair and fits seamlessly with any wardrobe – whether that means classic French tips or marble nail designs!
Bright summer yellow nails are a fun and festive way to mark the season’s warmth and sunshine. Their sunny hue is ideal for beach season, making any outfit stand out against its background of warm sands. Additionally, this hue pairs beautifully with jewel tones such as emerald green.
Winter hues should capture the peaceful feel of snow-dusted mornings; warm burgundies and champagne golds speak to holiday parties and new year celebrations.
