Fall nail trend: A nude shade and new shape

It’s time to ditch the high-maintenance nail art and give your fingers a more sophisticated makeover. Take a cue from Adele’s elegant Oscar look and opt for feminine nudes and luxurious textures. “Try a combo of matte and shiny finishes or tactile glitters,” says Rita Remark, lead nail artist for Essie. For a subtle yet chic look, she recommends decorating just the tips of nails with a bit of glimmer. For a more dramatic look, we love the new almond shape —unless you’ve got shorter nail beds, in which case a sofft, square shape will suit you better.
