I'm Not a Betting Woman, but I'm Certain This Chic Nail Colour Will Rule Autumn

If you know me, then you’ll know that I love black nail polish. I wear it in summer and winter, as I happen to think that it looks chic all year round. Sure, I enjoy experimenting with nail trends now and again, but I always go back to a simple, monochromatic black manicure. However, lately I’ve been seeing chocolatey brown nails all over my Instagram feed, and it feels like the perfect time to switch things up (slightly).

The hashtag #brownnailpolish has a cool 4.6 million views and counting on TikTok, and although this expensive-looking nail colour is nothing new and simply a neutral go-to for many, perhaps it’s the ‘latte’ beauty trend that is prompting a surge in further interest. Or, it could be the fact that summer’s more frivolous, fun colours now feel a little out of place when the weather has been so dire.

What I love about this spectrum of shades though, is that you can find one to perfectly complement your skin, or experiment and try out a lighter or darker tone depending on your mood.

The warm tone and shiny finish make this nail polish look so elegant, and we all know that you simply can’t go wrong with luxe neutral shades. In fact, I’m going to be asking for this exact colour next time I’m at the salon. I’ve already planned my autumn wardrobe, so why not get my nails ready too?

“Brown nail polish is very much in style, echoing the rich brown shades of caramel, toffee and chocolate from the popular ‘latte’ makeup look,” says Juanita Huber-Millet, founder and creative director at Townhouse. “Much like how brown tones are trending in the makeup world, brown nail polish has made a massive comeback. It adds a touch of sophistication to any look, and is perfect for embracing the cosy and inviting feelings of autumn.”

If you want to give this sophisticated nail trend a go, I’verounded up my favourite brown nails for all the inspiration you need. I’ve also linked some of my favourite brown nail-polish shades, so you can re-create the look at home. Just keep on scrolling…
