10 Sleek Nails Taking Over This Fall and Winter Season

Every nail design has its perfect occasion, whether it’s some crystal sparkle action for an elevated evening or a basic neutral for an everyday look. Your next manicure can even set the scene for your outfit, making them the ultimate accessory.

1. Basic everyday nails.

These are your ultimate ride-or-die nails for your everyday occasion, especially your 9 to 5. A simple neutral beige shade that’ll match any outfit, at any time of the year.

Create it using gel manicure and ask for an almond shape. It’ll last you for weeks without having to worry about retouches. You’ll always look polished.

2. Sleek square tips.

A square nail tip can be your go-to for a professional and sophisticated mani. A classic square shape is even associated with an old money aesthetic, making them ideal for a professional setting. You can pair them with any sort of color or design. If you want to soften the shape’s edginess, a pastel lavender can do the trick.

3. Sparkle French nails.

A square French tip alone gives off a sleek, professional look. Couple it with accent stars and a few rhinestones, and you’ve elevated it for a more elevated occasion. If you’re looking for a more out-of-the-box take on this, you can color the tips a bolder color, like pink.

4. Minimal rhinestone art.

If a neutral beige or light pink set is too boring for your everyday wear, why not add some extra sparkle for a soft glam look? All you have to do is dot a few rhinestones on your neutral base. It doesn’t have to be every nail, remember less is more.

5. Dark burgundy fall nails.

With fall approaching and spooky season right around the corner, it’s time to bring out your dark manicures and get creative. Shades like dark cherry, brown, and burgundy can be your next picks for this highly-anticipated season. You can add a little ribbon swirl, some studs for an edge, or keep it plain dark and chic.

6. Golden glam.

For those with a big event awaiting in their calendar, a gold glam mani never fails to disappoint. You can keep it more subtle with a French gold tip, or go bold and color the entire nail a shiny gold that’ll have your fingers sparkling the whole night.

7. Cozy brown.

For those upcoming cozy nights in where you want to snuggle up with friends and watch a late-night movie, a dark chocolate brown manicure will fit in perfectly. Reminiscent of a hot chocolate, this dark hue contrasts well with icy, muted winter shades.

8. Tropical getaway.

Planning your next escape? Get beach-ready with a tropical-inspired set that’ll give you a glimpse of your vacation before you get there. Between corals, sea greens, and pearlescent shades, you can choose any of these shades that’ll match the getaway’s vibe.

9. Nails for the night.

The night is young, and you’re about to turn up for some party fun. That means going all out with nails to impress. We’re talking some glitter nails that’ll catch more shine and light than the disco ball over your head.

10. Earlier hangouts.

Rather than turning up for the night, you and your friends might prefer a classic brunch in the afternoon. In that case, a subtle light pink or neutral base coupled with a statement embellishment, like a metal bow, can keep things classy and youthful.

Among all these options, the best choice is always the one that makes you feel the most like yourself. Your everyday manicure can be a stiletto paired with various embellishments or a simple beige coat. Either way, it’s what makes you most comfortable. And if you’re comfortable with a little extra luxury in your design, check these nail ideas out.
