5 Nail Experts On This Season’s Must-Wear Shades
“The trending shade for me this season is a sheer, warm milk shade. The tone and depth is chic, and it’s flattering on all skin tones.” – Harriet Westmoreland, manicurist & founder of Westmoreland Cosmetics
“I think smoky plum will be the nail shade of the autumn. It’s such a good transitional shade when you’re over the nudes and brights of summer but not quite ready to commit to the blacks and deep reds. Think muted hues with purple or brown undertones – a subtle statement and so wearable. Essie’s ‘Take Me To Thread’ is a great option.” – Georgia Rae, manicurist for Sofia Richie Grainge
“Swap out your standard browns and creamy beiges for those with a subtler grey undertone; a milky brown almost like a smokey toffee latte. They’re soft enough to act as a neutral but the muted undertone makes it feel modern and wearable. The Gel Bottle’s ‘Cookie’ is a perfect example.” – Iram Shelton, nail artist for Julianne Moore & Lauren Sanchez
“Nothing says autumn quite like changing from those sheer nudes and pale pinks to deep wine shades. For that perfect redish-purple I like ‘Curious’ by Kinetics.” – Michelle Class, manicurist for Naomi Campbell & Gemma Chan
“’Thornbird’ by Biosculpture is one of my favourite shades. It’s so easy to wear and suits all skin tones, so it’s worth trying. Khaki will definitely be making a big comeback this season too.” – Julia Diogo, manicurist
