usually tend to centre around , particularly this year. And don't get me wrong, love a wine-hued as much as the next person, but it sort of seems like it's the way to go at the salon right now—and it's simply not. Case in point? Chestnut nails.
This nail trend has recently crossed my radar, and I'm totally here for it. Warm, rich and very luxe, this colour suits everyone, and is especially gorgeous this time of year. It's not only the way this trend looks that makes it appealing, it's also super, super easy to achieve from home—especially if you're not much good at (although there are several lovely chestnut designs you could try).
All you need to do is find the right chestnut hue. Chestnut is more of a mid-brown with a slight red/orangey undertone, making it warmer and a little less flat than a deeper . That said, there are a few variations, some a touch darker and others fairer with more noticeable warmth from the orange.
My two favourites are Chanel Spirituelle and Nails Inc. Hawaii Beach. The former is much lighter – more of an orangey-brown – while the latter is a traditional medium-dark brown.
Both have a distinct chestnut vibe though, so would work well for this trend. If you're still not convinced, I've selected a few Insta looks I'm currently loving. Using a nail polish, this by Mateja Novakovic is shiny and chic as can be.
's nail artist has tried the look out on her, and it appeared to be a huge hit! This gorgeous bronze-chestnut look has a slightly metalli.
