Fall 2024 Nail Trend: Metallica

Shine, sparkles and mirror effects! The metallica trend makes your nails shine with silver-gray tones. Long nails and an ultra-glossy finish that catches the light with every movement are key for manicures using this trend.

Fall 2024 Nail Trend: Rich Reds

Red hues are a mani staple, and this fall, we’re all-in on darker shades of the colour. A deep burgundy or cherry red brings natural sophistication to your nails. Both intense and elegant, shades of red can flatter all skin tones and work well with casual looks or evening attire. Rich reds are your go-to for timeless style.

Fall 2024 Nail Trend: Espresso Nails

Love the classic French manicure? This season, we’re modernizing it with an autumnal twist: replacing the traditional white tip with a deep brown. Espresso nails offer subtle elegance, perfect for those seeking to blend simplicity with originality. It’s chic, refined and easy to wear every day.

Tips for a Long-Lasting Manicure

No matter which trend you choose, proper preparation of your natural nails is essential to ensure your manicure lasts. Here are a few tips to maximize the durability of your nails:

Moisturize and exfoliate

Make sure your cuticles and hands are well-moisturized before applying polish. A moisturizing treatment before the manicure helps prevent chipping and strengthens the nail base.

File in one direction only

Filing in multiple directions can weaken the nail and cause splits. By filing in one direction, you reduce the risk of breakage.

Use a quality base coat and top coat

Never skip a base or top coat! A good base coat protects your nails and helps the polish adhere to your nail better. A top coat, applied in a thin layer, seals the colour and gives a glossy or matte finish, depending on your preference.

With these tips and trends, your nails will be ready to take on fall in style.
