Shellac Nail Trends In 2023

From metallic silver manicures to rusty mauves and teal toned blues, the season’s latest nail trends allow you to express yourself while keeping your mani in top condition. Create an eye-catching look with clear tips topped with gold overlay or create something classic but unexpected with an unconventional French manicure design.

1. Matte/Shiny Combo

After years of glitter and 3D nail art, matte nails offer the ideal natural look to add some sophistication and elegance for fall 2023.

If matte finishes aren’t your style, why not give a milky shade topped with chrome a try for a glazed donut manicure instead? This trendy summer trend will give your nails an eye-catching pearlescent finish!

At times, this technique can also be played up for effect with black matte and white reverse French with tiny accents of dots or flowers, for a bold statement manicure without going all out with intricate designs. You can wear this look on short, stiletto, coffin shaped nails – just make sure that the polish you select hydrates and won’t chip easily!

2. Skinny Dark French

This year’s version of a classic French manicure offers an unexpected dark flair. From all-black nails to adding just one slim line at the tip, this look makes an elegant and beautiful statement on every nail shape.

Are pastel green nails in style right now? A perfect accompaniment to denim fashion’s current fascination with muted hues. Wear this trend on all of your nails in an ombre effect or use one coat as an elegant nod.

Other must-try trends this fall include clear tips, metallic manis in gold, silver and gray shades; strawberry glaze effect; micro nail art and the BIAB manicure – these trends make a bold statement. Experiment with all these looks for an eye-catching statement this season. It’s all about finding what suits you this year.

3. Chromes & Tortoiseshell

With viral makeup trends like bronzy eyeshadow and moody hues such as auburn hair popping up all over the internet, now is an opportune time to think ahead to fall beauty looks and styles. Even if you still prefer sunny summer weather, why not channel its spirit with a dark French manicure that embodies its aesthetic?

No matter which shade of red you opt for or chocolate brown hue you select, this nail trend will add chicness and style to your winter wardrobe. Tortoise shell nails are also an elegant solution that add warmth and sophistication to an otherwise dark ensemble.

Add an elegant finishing touch to your tortoise shell mani by incorporating a coloured cuff into its design – adding subtlety while simultaneously creating an ombre effect! This is sure to take it up another notch.

4. Animal Print Nails

Animal print nail trends are an eye-catching and fashion-forward look that are ideal for summer. From leopard spots and exotic zebra stripes, to serpent scales and scaled designs – animal print designs add a wild sophistication that adds flair and intrigue.

For those not quite ready to commit to full animal print nail art, try subdued versions such as leopard spots or zebra stripes on select nails as an easier approach. These subtler forms of animal prints will still look stylish without going full animal.

As far as color choices go, rusty mauves and deep chocolate hues make great fall nail colors; teal toned blue adds an unexpected pop for transitioning summer nails into fall weather. Additionally, Pantone’s Color of the Year, Viva Magneta could provide even more shimmer and shimmer!

5. Mood Ring Nails

As summer winds down, it’s time to prepare for fall beauty trends. Sultry brown smoky eyes and copper hued hair hues will become staples as this season-inspired palette takes over our makeup and nail palettes.

Are you in search of an autumn look that exudes sophistication and coziness? Try the dark French manicure trend. Think warm chocolate brown or deep forest green hues for an opulent yet chic style. Or channel the mood ring nail trend that has taken TikTok by storm this year: this style involves creating circular gradients of eyeshadow swatches on your nails – easily created at home or by having someone at a salon do it for you; an alluring and mysterious addition to any mani.
