There’s nothing that makes us feel more put-together than fresh nails, especially ones that are matched to your tonal winter wardrobe.

Whether you’re a fan of a quick at-home manicure, or looking for something to take to the salon for a bit of celebrity inspiration, these are our favourite looks for the season.

Dark and earthy, let green be another colour to try this season. If you want something a little different, use a lighter green varnish to create a French tip design.

Take any varnish to the next level with this nail art. Apply base coat and colour, then use a detail brush to outline a semi-circle shape at the nail base. Use shimmer tones to jazz it up.

Pearly Shades

Just like a timeless nude, pearly shades are gorgeous and make a great everyday colour. To achieve a perfect glow, don’t be afraid to layer your varnish, and aim for at least three coats.

Bold and Burgundy

This autumn we’re loving the moody burgundy hues that are versatile and ideal for all nail 
shapes. This dark colour looks great with some extra shine, so be sure to add a topcoat to your polish.
