Old Money Classy

You can’t go wrong when you opt for a classy look. With old money being the best evergreen yet trendy style, you shouldn’t be worried about having a “boring” manicure. If you need to adhere to a business professional attire, consider these trends: classic French tips and nude shades, as well as squoval and oval nail shapes.

 

Chrome and Metals

If it’s trendy in fashion, then it’s trendy for your manicure. Chrome effects and metallics are significant trends in accessories and clothing for this fall 2023. From silver to rose gold, don’t miss this trend if your office permits casual wear. For business casual and smart casual looks, consider a chrome French manicure.

Ombré and Baby Boomer

Ombré nails have remained a favorite in the realm of nail fashion for an extended period, and their charm continues to shine brightly in 2023. The Ombré manicure is defined by its capacity to craft a seamless and subtle gradient effect on your nails, artfully transitioning from one color to another. This style offers boundless possibilities in terms of color combinations, spanning the spectrum from soft pastels to daring and vivid shades.

However, in the spotlight for elegance and timelessness stands the Baby Boomer manicure, which reimagines the classic French manicure. Baby Boomer nails revolve around the creation of a gentle and flawless shift from the natural nail to the pristine white tip. This style seamlessly merges the grace of the French-inspired look with a modern touch, making it a captivating choice for those who appreciate classic aesthetics with a contemporary twist.

Tortoise Shell nails are characterized by their marbled and intricate appearance, often featuring warm, earthy tones with dark streaks or spots. The design mimics the timeless elegance of tortoiseshell, a material traditionally used in jewelry and accessories. The result is a nail art style that exudes a sense of luxury and individuality.

Fall Colors

Fall is the season of warm and earthy colors, making it the perfect time to embrace these hues in your nail fashion. Deep olive greens, warm terracotta, and rich chocolate browns can infuse your manicure with a touch of autumn. These colors emanate a grounding feeling, keeping you connected to the season, even while you’re indoors.

Autumn classics like reds and berries are set to grace the fashion scene in 2023. The richness of burgundies and deep cranberry reds can bring a sense of sophistication to your nails. These shades are both bold and professional, seamlessly complementing your office attire.

Iridescent Nails

As we enter 2023, an enchanting trend is taking the nail fashion world by storm: the captivating realm of iridescence. This trend seamlessly combines two exquisite styles – Velvet Nails and Pearls, resulting in a luxurious and eye-catching manicure.

Velvet nails have emerged as a remarkable trend for 2023, offering a sensory and visual delight. This style involves introducing a velvety texture to your nails, creating a soft, plush sensation that is truly unique. Velvet nails are often adorned with rich, deep colors, adding an element of opulence and elegance to your manicure.

Pearls have always been synonymous with sophistication, and in 2023, they play a prominent role in nail fashion. Now, there’s no need to embellish your manicure with artificial pearls. You can achieve a sophisticated manicure by drawing inspiration from the silky and translucent texture of pearls. This approach exudes refinement and elegance, making it an excellent choice for a sophisticated look.
