Whether you're floating into Fall or welcoming the blossoming buds of Spring, there's a set of nails for each period of change. With award shows rolling out its dusty red carpets and fashion week polishing their catwalks, your favourite celebrities are prepping their fingertips at the beauty parlour for another glamourous season of events and galas and we have the insight of their nail choices!
Your nail art sets the tone and wardrobe for the upcoming season. It's a small detail that tells bystanders and pass-byers who you are. The shape of your nail, the style of tip and the paint coat is a quick glimpse at your personality. This September, the nail inspiration is dainty with a maximalist edge. Metallic rims, decorative French tips, floral accents, jewels! The trendiest nails right now are loud and imaginative yet classy. If you're looking for a few ideas to add to your Pinterest board, here are 6 nail art ideas worth considering.
1. Framed Edged
If you're looking for something versatile, a single-coloured rim near the edge of your nail beds is the way to go! Topped with a clear coat, this look balances the perfect amount of edginess and elegance. If you want to elevate it one step, decorate with a bead or two.
2. Whimsy Fairy Dust
In the latest cover of Allure magazine, Selena Gomez designed her nails in the style ‘touchable texture’ a deep blush-nude canvas with tactile golden Corinthian accents, framing the centre of the nail. It's whimsical, delicate and fiery!
3. Beachy Getaway
It wouldn't be September without the traces of a beachy glow! Shades of blue and sand topped with pearls and golden swirls is a Cousin's Beach tribute. Play with aqua blue and tones of beige and brown to achieve the perfect set, incorporating a coastal flower as a motif.
4. Showgirl Orange
If you're stepping into Autumn, here's a tip for you—deep orange. Last year, the pantone colour of the year was an explosion of ‘cherry red’, but this year we are embracing ‘showgirl orange’. To spice it up, top it off with a glaze of glitter.
5. Polka Dot Frenemies
If you're looking for something quirky, a wallpaper of polka dots in contrasting colours is the best choice. Whether you choose to paste it on a French tip or the entire nail, polka dots are coming back this season.
6. Bejewelled!
We’re calling it now: sparkly French tip nails are set to everywhere. At the 2025 VMAs, Sabrina Carpenter debuted a new nail look, a multi-chrome bejewelled French tip. The glitter beads popped flawlessly against the nude canvas, allowing for a sleek yet cheerful look.
Polka dots, rimmed edges or golden accents, your nails deserve to look good too. Treat your fingers to a spa day, pushing back those crackly cuticles and unclipped nails. A fresh set of acrylics is like a new outfit, meant to be worn out on the town.
