While there are no wrongs when it comes to polish or design, there might be one that feels the most aligned with your personal vibe for November. For you, that might be a snake-print French modelled after Dua Lipa’s. Or, you could go for a very seasonal burgundy or a burnt-orange and chestnut colour combo. Wherever your head’s at, we have a few cool designs to help inspire your next manicure and potentially a spot in your own Instagram photo dump. Scroll though the trends, ahead.
Snake Tips
Dua Lipa is “feeling autumnal” with what her manicurist, Michelle Humphrey, calls “snake tips.” The colours are fun, particularly the blue, and the print is more unexpected than a cheetah or leopard.
Oxblood Tones
We’ve already been over the merits of a burgundy manicure. Here, nail artist Julie Kandalec shows a closeup of Jessica Chastain’s nails, further solidifying the argument that two coats of vampy purple polish is always a good idea.
Powerpuff Hearts
Y2K hearts continue to trend. If you’ve been wearing a lot of dark polish lately, a bright pink is a nice palate cleanser. Moreover, the puffy cartoon-heart detail, as seen on the hands of influencer Alexa Isabel, feels sweet and nostalgic.
Brown & Orange
Digital creator Lauren (LoLoNailedIt) says that through November, she’s wearing browns and oranges exclusively. Swirling them together makes a seasonal pumpkin chestnut blend that’s almost cozy.
Yin Yang
Nail artist Amy Le recently styled a yin-yang French manicure on jewelry designer Ami Grannis. Both the symbol and the white color way have been frequently replicated trends on Instagram. NYC-based nail brand Chillhouse even interpreted the zen aesthetic on its new reusable press-ons.
Sage Green
Blake Lively and Pete Davidson have been wearing sage-green nail polish, which may have traditionally been thought of as a springtime shade, but Lively proves that the shade offers a refreshing juxtaposition to a dark winter wardrobe.
