Fall 2024’s Biggest Nail Art Trends Are Bringing the Drama

By Aditi Rana

Fall 2024 nail art is here to slay, serving up everything we crave for autumn—think cosy vibes, luxe textures, and a whole lot of sparkle. We’re talking faux croc and tortoiseshell patterns, dazzling glitter, and 3D gels that transform into pearls or chunky cable-knit designs. This season’s nail trends are inspired by our fave fall essentials, from cool-weather fashion to the return of pumpkin spice lattes. If you’re all about keeping it classic, go for shimmering pastels or a soft-goth French mani with inky blacks and deep espresso tones. Want to go bold? Try a textured accent nail in rich, fall colours like deep reds, fiery oranges, and creamy chocolates. It’s time to let your nails do the talking this season.

Champagne Chrome

While glazed doughnut nails are still in the spotlight, champagne chrome is bringing a fresh twist for summer 2024. This trend takes the sleek, reflective vibe of the classic design and adds a shimmering, champagne twist. Perfect for a chic, clean look with a touch of sparkle, champagne chrome nails shine on short, square shapes for a minimalist edge or on elegant almond nails to flaunt that high-shine finish. Ready to upgrade your nail game with a touch of glam? This one’s for you.

The Blues

Get ready to see light blue nails everywhere this season! From soft baby blue to vibrant shades, this trend is all about making a cool statement. If you’re new to rocking bold colours, start with your toes and see how you feel. For that extra pop, finish with a glossy top coat to make your blue nails shine. Time to add a splash of cool to your nail game.

Crystal Couture

This season, red carpet glam has made its way to our fingertips with crystal-studded nails taking the spotlight. It’s like having a mini award show on each nail. For a DIY touch, simply stick pre-glued gems onto nude nails and seal with a top coat. If you’re hitting up the salon, go all out with crystals of every shape, size, and colour. Finish with a glossy top layer for that extra dazzling shine. Your nails are about to sparkle like never before.

Chrome 2.0

Chrome nails are sticking around, but get ready for a major upgrade. Forget the subtle glaze; this season is all about bold, eye-catching chrome. Picture shimmering silvers, vibrant rainbow chrome, and dreamy pastel variations. If you’re not fully committed yet, start with iridescent metal-effect tips to mix and match seasonal trends effortlessly. Your nails are about to go next-level shiny.

Rainbow Tips

If classic French feels a bit too polished, spice things up with rainbow tips. Start with a soft pink base and let your tips pop in vibrant colours. Stick to one shade for a sleek look—think zesty tangerine, sunny yellow, or sky blue. Want more fun? Mix and match two or three complementary colours (different pinks are perfect!) or go all out with a full rainbow spectrum. From delicate micro tips to bold, chunky hues, there’s a rainbow of options to brighten up your mani.
