There is a definite chill in the air, so time to let go of pastels and brights and embrace an autumnal nail palette.
Whether you’re treating yourself to a DIY manicure, or supporting your favourite local salon, channel the current mood with deeper shades.
Autumn tends to herald a move towards classics. Jewel tones and sophisticated neutrals work well with classic autumn wardrobe staples like muted knits, camel coats and a return to dark blacks and navies. Here are the shades to consider for your next manicure.
