There’s no denying that autumn nail trends are often dominated by deep, moody shades. From navy nails to red, black and burgundy, this rich colour palette makes a comeback every single year. However, if you want to switch things up ever so slightly this season, I’ve spotted a chic nail colour trend on Instagram that I predict is one to watch this October. Say hello to aubergine nails.
I first spotted this look on nail artist Mateja Novakovic. She used a Manucurist polish to create this aubergine manicure, and it’s safe to say that I am obsessed with the glossy, rich hue. While it’s similar to burgundy, it has a more prominent purple tone, giving it this cooler finish that I can’t get enough of.
Not only will it pair perfectly with your autumn wardrobe, but the pop of purple is a chic way to incorporate a hint of colour into your look this season. I’m usually a neutral nail gal through and through, but after seeing this maniure, even I’m convinced to give it a go. Below, I’ve rounded up some of the most stunning aubergine nail looks that I’ve screenshotted ahead of my next salon appointment, and I highly suggest that you check them out instead of reaching for your usual burgundy shade…
