What's trending now?
TikTok Is Obsessed With This "Cherry Mocha" Nail Polish
by ZIZI STRATER @LOLO.NAILEDIT/INSTAGRAM There's no social media platform that moves through trends, aesthetics, and new favorite products as fast as TikTok. Though it may be exhausting to scroll through on a daily basis, when seasons start to change and new wardrobe inspiration is needed, there is no better place to be than the app. Now that the weather has officially made up its mind and decided it's fall (later than usual, but we'll take it), our For You Pages have become filled with influencers informing us what's in and what's out this season—cherry red, motorcycle boots, and, most surprisingly,Crocs are all in the mix this autumn. But the biggest fall 2023 nail trend we're seeing? Our new favorite nail color, "cherry mocha." The sweet-yet-sultry shade has been everywhere online; however, it's not just your average food-inspired manicure. Ahead, we break down the cherry mocha nail trend you're about to see on everyone's fingertips. The Trend The cherry mocha trend isn't misleading at all; the shade central to this trend looks like what we picture a new Starbucks drink called cherry mocha would look like—a deep, nearly black, purplish-maroon shade reminiscent of a real-life black cherry. @LOLO.NAILEDIT/INSTAGRAM This shade is actually has a long history, with its most recent resurgence being under the cherry mocha moniker. If you've been painting your nails since the '90s, you probably saw this shade and instantly remembered Chanel's iconic Vamp polish, which sent the world into a frenzy over the dark red-black shade. The shade has been reformulated and renamed a few times, but you can still get your hands on a similar one with Chanel's Rouge Noir ($32). @SARUHNAILS/INSTAGRAM While "cherry mocha" perfectly describes the color that's going viral (with over 3 million views and counting), it's not just a new name for a classic fall shade, it's an actual polish color. DND's Cherry Mocha ($8)—and TikTok's obsession with it—is what kicked off the trend in the first place. Cherry Mocha's rise in the trend cycle also coordinates with grungier, edgier fashion being similarly as mainstream as when Chanel's original polish first hit the scene. Influencers and fashionistas are pairing the sultry shade with everything from their casual, day-to-day athleisure to "rockstar girlfriend" makeup," leather looks, and ballet flats. Because, well, it really just goes with everything.

20 October Nail Ideas for a Moody, Autumnal Manicure
by REBECCA NORRIS @BRUSHEDBYB_ / INSTAGRAM October is officially here (where has the time gone?!), which means you may be looking for the perfect moody mani to rock during the spooky season. But as much as we enjoy a seasonal nail look, we also understand that not everyone wants to lean into Halloween with pumpkins and ghosts on their nails. With this in mind, we set out to find plenty of pretty nail art ideas for October—none of which feature kitschy accents. Instead, you can look forward to earthy, neutral tones, creative black-and-white combinations, witchy purple creations, and more. Check them out below. 01of 20 Neon Halloween Nails @YO_KESHH / INSTAGRAM Lime green, black, and orange are classic Halloween colors, but in this art deco-inspired stripe design, they're giving more "chic manicure" than "kiddy holiday nail look." We're here for it. 02of 20 Autumn Squiggle Nails @TIFFANYABBIGAILEBEAUTY / INSTAGRAM Squiggle and swirl negative space nails have been extremely popular all year. To bring them into fall, get them in autumn-inspired shades, like chocolate brown and spruce green. 03of 20 Earthy Abstract Riverbed Nails @NAILSBYCANISHIEA / INSTAGRAM October is the first full month of fall, so it's the perfect time to lean all the way into the neutral, earthy palette associated with the season. Here, you can see how an abstract approach to stripes can create a truly unique manicure. 04of 20 Vixen Red Nails @THEHOTBLEND / INSTAGRAM You can never go wrong with blood-red polish in October. Rather than any old red manicure, consider copying this jelly version, which gives it an unexpected twist. 05of 20 Clueless Cocoa Nails @PHOEBESUMMERNAILS / INSTAGRAM Checkerboard nails continue to be popular for fall 2023, as do plaid. This argyle take on the look is perfect for autumn and even nods at the Clueless trend from earlier this year. 06of 20 Earthy Abstract Mismatched Nails @NAILSBYCANISHIEA / INSTAGRAM Another way to incorporate earthy tones into your nail look is with a mismatched design. We like the looks of this one, which features trendy grid detailing and hints of pumpkin spice on a convenient short length. 07of 20 Black Drip Tips @IRAMSHELTON / INSTAGRAM Forget about a bloody drip October nail look: This abstract black-tip nail art idea creates a similar vibe without evoking the gore. As for the thumb accent—that's an actual nail piercing. 08of 20 Pumpkin Spice Nails @BROWNLUXENAILS / INSTAGRAM You may not want to rock actual pumpkins on your nails, but there's nothing kitschy about the seasonal color. While there are many pumpkin-inspired nail polishes out there, OPI Nail Lacquer ($12) in the shade Suzi Needs A Loch-Smith is particularly popular. 09of 20 Amethyst Crystal Marble Nails @SWAKNAILS / INSTAGRAM For a witchy vibe without incorporating any little faces or black cats into your nail look, consider a crystal-inspired manicure. This sparkly purple nail look is meant to look like an amethyst geode. Stunning, no? 10of 20 Autumn Floral Nails @SWAKNAILS / INSTAGRAM If you're not ready to say farewell to your favorite floral nail art, don't fret. You can upgrade the look for the season by getting your blooms painted in fall-friendly shades like terracotta, burgundy, and evergreen. 11of 20 Abstract Blob Chrome Nails @ANGELSNAILZ / INSTAGRAM Orange and silver are popular Halloween colors, but they really pop in a trendy chrome nail look with matte blobs. 12of 20 Earthy Green Digits @IRAMSHELTON / INSTAGRAM Let this be your reminder that a gorgeous October manicure doesn't require nail art. Case in point: This mossy green stunner. For a similar look, try using the Olive & June Long-Lasting Nail Polish in the shade WKF ($9). 13of 20 Mossy French Tips @IRAMSHELTON / INSTAGRAM Remember that mossy green polish from above? It looks fab when incorporated into a square micro French mani. 14of 20 Ember French Tips @IRAMSHELTON / INSTAGRAM Speaking of French manicures, there's always the option to swap out your white tips for a squash tone fitting for fall. Try the Londontown Lakur Enhanced Colour ($16) in Bee's Knees on a trendy short almond shape. 15of 20 Autumn Check @PHOEBESUMMERNAILS / INSTAGRAM Brown and green polish work together fabulously in checkerboard form. Here, the green tone borders on bluish-gray, creating an even moodier end look. 16of 20 Black Squiggle Tips @THEHOTBLEND / INSTAGRAM The wiggly black lines of this oval-shaped nail look give off a creepy, sinister vibe—all while looking chic as can be. The picture-perfect base of this manicure was created using The Gel Bottle Inc.'s BIAB #19 ($16). 17of 20 Moody Opal Nails @AMYYTRAN / INSTAGRAM Here's another witchy nail art idea. This pale opal manicure, complete with gold glitter detailing, looks fit for a magical encounter. 18of 20 Magical Chrome Nails @AMYYTRAN / INSTAGRAM If you like the idea of a solid manicure but prefer a bit more glam, consider swapping out your regularly glossy finish for a chrome dusting. Here, black nails were overlaid with rainbow chrome powder to create a metallic oxblood set. 19of 20 Eggplant Aura Nails @DISSEYNAILS / INSTAGRAM Aura nails have emerged as one of the year's biggest nail trends. Here, see how the design looks especially mystical in moody purple hues perfect for Halloween. 20of 20 Abstract Spooky Nails @BRUSHEDBYB_ / INSTAGRAM Last but not least, we have this fun mismatched black-and-white nail look. Complete with gemstones, French tips, and aura accents, it's one October nail look sure to turn heads.

Use the toothpick to make two equal-sized dots next to each other, and then drag each of them down at a 45 degree angle to meet at the bottom. Easy as that! Thin Stripy Nails For very thin, striped nails, you can use a fan brush. Once your base color has dried, dip the tips of the fan brush’s bristles in a different color and brush over your nail horizontally. Wait for it to dry, then carry on with the process using any other colors you wish. Color Pairings If you want to combine two colors with your fancy nail art, follow this pairing chart to make sure your colors won’t clash. Cotton String This is a really fun and interesting idea for innovative nail art: paint your base coat and let it dry, then add a clear coat and drape and loop the cotton string so that it sticks to the still wet coat. Once it has dried, top it off with another clear coat so that the string will stay in place. You can finish it with the Christmas lights, but if it’s still too early in the year, just leave the squiggly line as is and play around with the base and string colors. Splattered Nails Use a slanted makeup brush to splatter a color (or combination of colors) on your nails for an incredible DIY Jackson Pollock-esque manicure. Simply dip the brush in polish and then in nail polish remover so that it’s thin enough to splatter. Splattered Nails Option 2 If you don’t want to ruin your makeup brush with nail polish or don’t have an extra one to spare, you can use a straw instead! Cut the straw in half (shorter means more control), dip the bottom in nail polish, and simply blow it onto your nails for the same effect. Shearing Scissors as a Tool Remember those shearing scissors you loved to use in school? Well it’s time to dig them out again. Use these scissors to cut zig-zag shapes with your scotch tape so that you can use them for the perfect zig-zag or scalloped pattern.

Lindsay Lohan's Nail Artist Told Me 2023's Hottest Mani Trends
by KATIE BEROHN Nail trends come and go, but the trends we've seen so far in 2023 have been incredible. Whether you're looking for new nail polish colors or want an expensive-looking nail design from the salon, this year's trends are definitely delivering. I caught up with celebrity nail artist Elle Gerstein, whose star-studded clients include Lindsay Lohan, Blake Lively, and Mariah Carey. She let me know the nail trends she thinks will continue well into 2023. Spoiler alert: The months ahead will be full of interesting nail colors, fun textures, and customizable manicures. Keep reading for the best nail trends of 2023 and how to recreate them yourself. Viva Magenta PHOTO: @IMARNINAILS "With the Pantone color of the year being announced for 2023 as Viva Magenta, this shade will definitely be trending," says Gerstein.

2023's Biggest Nail Trends Have Something For Everyone
By Jessica Harrington Every year, we get excited about new beauty trends. In 2022, nail art flourished, paving the way for this year to be even more epic. Given the nature of at-home manicures and the limitations of our own amateur nail skills (which, we will admit, did mildly improve during the past few years), we're ready to enlist the expertise of professionals to help us try all the newest nail trends of 2023. That's why we asked the industry's top manicurists to share all the fun nail-art trends you'll be seeing everywhere this year, and their answers have us eager to change up our manicures ASAP. To preview, you can expect people to wear bright and bold colors among the top nail-color trends of the year, in addition to muted looks like "rich girl" nails; experiment with fun finishes with chrome nails; and load up on intricate textures. The best part is there's something for everyone: dark, goth-inspired nails à la Wednesday Addams; aura designs to suit your every mood; and so much more. Whether you're looking for inspiration for popular nails to take with you to your next salon appointment or searching for fun designs you can do on your own at home, we've got you covered. Keep reading to see new nail styles worth trying in 2023. Nail Trends 2023: Rich-Girl Nails Rich-girl nails are proving to be a popular nail style for 2023 after stars like Jennifer Lopez, Marsai Martin, and Hailee Steinfeld wore the look. The manicure is minimal, clean, and very chic. "'Rich girl' nails are a modern take on a sophisticated classic," celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik previously told POPSUGAR. "[The] color is a creamy, full-coverage nude playing homage to the greige inspiration originally seen with Chanel." Nail Trends 2023: Rich-Girl Nails Because the rich-girl nail trend is all about the color, you can wear it on any shape. Nail Trends 2023: Rich-Girl Nails Rich-girl nails are perfect for year-round wear thanks to the minimal style. Nail Trends 2023: Aura Nails You've probably seen aura nails on your social media feed at least once in 2022, but it's predicted to be huge in the next year. "The style features a circular ombre effect that emulates a glowing aura," Pattie Yankee, consulting manicurist for Dashing Diva, tells POPSUGAR. Not only is it stunning, but it's easy enough to re-create at home on your own. Nail Trends 2023: Aura Nails To be clear: aura nails don't have to feature your actual accurate aura reading, but rather utilize colors that mimic the colors of the body's chakras and energy fields. (Think swirls of colors that diffuse outward, starting in the middle.) Nail Trends 2023: Aura Nails Rita Pinto, founder of Vanity Projects nail salon, previously told POPSUGAR: "It's very New Age meets Gen Z because the colors of the manicures are way more interpretive and expansive than the usual aura-chart colors. I've also heard them be referred to as 'color trips' in the salon by clients." Nail Trends 2023: Ballerina-Slipper Nail Shape For the last few years, popular nail shapes have always included oval or round. In 2023, however, it's getting a little more fun. The proof? "Ballerina slipper" nails are trending. "To break it down, it's a monochromatic french tip in an almost-coffin-shape nail that resembles ballet pointe shoes," manicurist and Orly educator An Cao previously told POPSUGAR. "It's really girly and pretty." Nail Trends 2023: Ballerina-Slipper Nail Shape To get the look, Cao recommends you be specific at the salon. "Ask for a coffin-shaped nail with round edges and a pink french tip with a sheer pink base." Nail Trends 2023: Ballerina-Slipper Nail Shape While you can certainly wear the trend on your natural nails, if you don't naturally have the length to make this shape work, you may need to ask your manicurist to apply gel extensions first. Nail Trends 2023: Chrome Finishes Perhaps the biggest trend in 2022 was chrome nails, and that will be continuing into the next year. "It won't be a surprise to see chrome or metallic nails all over," says manicurist and LeChat nails educator Hemi Park. Expect to see chrome finishes across a range of different colors — silver, gold, blue, and pink, to name a few. Nail Trends 2023: Chrome Finishes Like any other nail design, chrome can be used on the entire nail or as part of a nail art look — like french manicures, stars, and more — and the latter take will be a new twist on the trend you'll see a lot of in 2023. Nail Trends 2023: Chrome Finishes When the trend first hit the mainstream, finding the chrome pigment you need to create the look was difficult and expensive. Now that it has become more popular, you can find the finish just about anywhere nail products are sold, including most salons. Nail Trends 2023: Layered Textures 3D nails are nothing new, but embrace even more drama with layered textures in the new year. "This is when multiple textures are encased in separate layers to create dimension," says celebrity manicurist Elle Gerstein. You can embrace this trend with different patterns, embellishments, or decals — or all of them all at once. Nail Trends 2023: Layered Textures This is one way to make a statement with your nails. Take this gold detailing with pearl and charm accents. Nail Trends 2023: Layered Textures For an easier take on the trend, Gerstein suggests playing with your finishes. "Mattes and shiny options in polish and gel make it easy to achieve the layered texture look for DIYs," she says. Nail Trends 2023: Jelly Nails Jelly nails have been a celebrity mainstay for the last few years, but it's also a trend you're going to want to take a bite out of in 2023. "Like lip gloss for your nails, we'll see these semi-sheer shades interpreted in multiple color ways, such as juicy reds, pinks and oranges, blues and smoky grays, as well as paired with a chrome finish — resembling sea glass on your nails," Yankee says. Nail Trends 2023: Jelly Nails The semi-sheer, shellac-esque finish also gives off Y2K vibes — like the jelly shoes that have also made a recent comeback this year. Nail Trends 2023: Jelly Nails If you want to try your hand at re-creating the trend at home, we're sharing our favorite jelly-nail-polish options here. Nail Trends 2023: Opalescent Polish Thanks to Hailey Bieber, glazed-doughnut nails reigned supreme in 2022, but for 2023, we're stepping up our game with opalescent nail polish. "Get dreamy nails with shimmer-stacked shades that shift with every twist and turn of light," Thea Green, founder of Nails.Inc, tells POPSUGAR. "Pearlescent polish is all about the shade-shifting magic, so your nails will always look different depending on the light and the angle." Nail Trends 2023: Opalescent Polish While many brands offer opalescent shades in polish form, you can also try press-ons with the finish from companies like Static Nails or OPI. Nail Trends 2023: Opalescent Polish While you can choose a polish with an opalescent finish, you can also DIY the look with a luminescent eyeshadow and a clear top coat. (Follow these steps here to try the hack yourself.) Nail Trends 2023: Airbrush Nails "Airbrushing has been a tool in the nail industry for decades and slowly disappeared, but will be making a comeback as ombré nails [become more] popular," says Park. "Airbrush nails will stay for a while as trend as we are witnessing ombré [looks] trending like ombré french manicures, which require perfect blending of colors." Nail Trends 2023: Airbrush Nails Like aura nails, the key to this trend is all about blending, blending, blending. "We'll be reaching for airbrush guns and starting to create flawlessly blended blushing accents on the nails," says Park. Nail Trends 2023: Airbrush Nails You can add designs to your nails using stencils and an airbrush machine, like this blue and black star manicure. Nail Trends 2023: Goth Nails Take a page out of Wednesday Addams's book and embrace dark, goth-inspired nails — another fun trend for 2023. "Goth is so in right now, I have to hold myself back from releasing only goth looks," Braelinn Frank, founder of Rave Nailz, tells POPSUGAR. Nail Trends 2023: Goth Nails When a swipe of black polish just won't do, add either an accent nail or some extra texture in an equally dark or moody color — think gray, red, or dark blue — to give your manicure some gothic flair. Nail Trends 2023: Goth Nails To get the look, Frank suggests the Cast A Spell Nailz ($23) or the Bad Witch Nailz ($23), which are part of the Rave Nailz signature collection.

6 Nail Trends That Are Going to Be Huge in 2023
BY LAUREN MURDOCH-SMITH The year 2022 was a big one for nail trends, with celebrity manicures going viral and the most in-demand manicurists becoming fully-fledged influencers. So what does this year have in store? From low-maintenance styles to elevated nail accessories, these are the five nail trends set to take over your Instagram feed in 2023. Subtle Chrome Photo: Getty Images Chrome doesn’t automatically mean bling. OPI global ambassador Harriet Westmoreland predicts that chrome, but not as you know it, will be big for 2023, pointing to the shade’s grown-up evolution. Westmoreland will be using chrome but over opaque and sheer base shades, giving nails a glossy, healthy appearance. National nail studio Townhouse has created Dazzling Disco, a chrome-topped opaque design that’s a new take on the summer’s glazed doughnut nail trend, which was inspired by Hayley Bieber’s ultra-shiny manicure. Try a milky shade topped with chrome for a glazed, glossy finish. Clean, Simple Nails The trend for healthy-looking hair followed a period of intense grooming and maintenance in lockdown. Now, nails are following suit: expect to see minimal manicures that show off healthy, pristine nails buffed to perfection everywhere you look in 2023. “Shades like OPI’s Bubble Bath and Love Is In The Bare are perfect for clean, simple nails,” explains manicurist Iram Shelton. These colors hide any imperfections while enhancing the nails for a look that is clean, well-manicured, and healthy. Low-maintenance everyday nails, sorted. Barely-There French French manicures had a mini comeback last year, but for 2023, they’re even more desirable. “French manicures will be barely there and very thin and natural for 2023,” says Westmoreland of the updated classic. Think hardly noticeable, fine white tips that make hands and nails look chic and expensive. You’ll also see these fine lines applied in a reverse French—just as simple and impactful. Nail Accents

8 Fall Nail Colors You Should Try Now, According to the Pros
BY CALIN VAN PARIS All products featured on Vogue are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission. Are your fall nail colors of choice a deep midnight sky of a foggy coastal morning? Perhaps you're clinging to summer’s Barbie pink, or a petal-inspired neutral better resonates with your energy for the cooler weather? As the seasons switch, an assemblage of fall nail colors help support the shift—and this year, autumnal hues are supported by dreamy shades that echo the natural world. “Fall is a season for cozying up, and represents comfort and nostalgia,” says nail artist Hang Nguyen, author of Nail Art Deck. “It’s the perfect season to be inspired by colors and art that bring a sense of warmth as the weather cools down.” For Jin Soon Choi, founder of JINSOON, autumn's polish choices are inspired by the runways as well as the world’s organics. “People get inspiration from the changing leaves and weather, but I get mine from the campaigns and fashion shows I work on,” she says. “I’m fortunate to be able to see the latest fashion designs and color palettes firsthand.” Still, Choi says that fall is ultimately down to deep, moody, and earthy hues—though 2023 may see an outlier or two. Short or long, nail health is a key factor this fall, a manicure-first approach evidenced by the rise of short, minimalist nails and the flawless cuticles achieved via the Russian manicure, currently trending. “A clean manicure with a natural buff is a great way to remove any staining and focus on the health of your nails before delving into the more dramatic nails of the holiday season,” says Mazz Hanna, CEO of Nailing Hollywood. Also trending? A matte finish, which affords the seasons favored polishes a cozy, luxurious feel. Here, some of the industry’s top nail artists share the fall nail colors that will help to define this fall. Ballet Pinks The ballet trend extends to your manicure with a swipe of the right pale pink. “Sheer Fantasy by Essie is the perfect neutral pink for anyone that just wants a clean glossy nail,” says nail artist Steph Stone. "There is less opacity than other neutral pink polishes and it really gives your nails a naturally healthy ‘glowing’ appearance.” Gel Couture in Sheer Fantasy $13 AMAZON Nail Lacquer in Ballet Slippers $10 AMAZON OPI Vernis A Ongles in Lisbon Wants Moor $11 AMAZON CHANEL Le Vernis in Ballerina $32 CHANEL Earthy Olive Greens Olives made the list of nearly every artist interviewed. “It is neutral enough to go with any outfit but brings a playful element to the look,” says Goldstein, who prefers for CND Vinylux in Cap and Gown. Stone opts for JINSoon’s Green Clay, a lighter olive more reminiscent of Cerignola than Castelvetrano. “This is an easily overlooked color palette, but once you try it on you’ll be surprised how quickly it becomes a favorite.” CND Vinylux in Cap & Gown $6 CND ESSIE Nail Polish in Green Clay $18 JINSOON CND Vinylux in Olive Grove $8 $5 BEYOND POLISH COLOR DEPT. Nail Polish in Moss $10 COLOR DEPT. Misty Morning Blues Though the season may be associated with deeper hues, there’s something to be said of the pale hue of changing air. Chanel Le Vernis is Muse is a favorite of Goldstein’s for its atmospheric feel. “This color reminds me of early foggy mornings in the fall, especially in Northern California,” she says. Channel the dreaminess of a chilly beach day with a pale blue/gray hybrid, the color of coastal drives and early a.m. skies. CHANEL Le Venrnis in Muse $32 CHANEL OPI Vernis A Ongles in Did You See Those Mussels? $9 BEYOND POLISH Nail Lacquer in Mooning $10 AMAZON DEBORAH LIPPMANN Gel Lab Pro Color in Above the Clouds $20 DEBORAH LIPPMANN Spiced Burgundy Autumn’s reds are inspired by foliage and spice, and the best burgundies reflect that season-specific combination. For a solid starting point, Chanel’s Bois Des Isles comes recommended by Stone and Goldstein. “It has the perfect combination of red, brown, and orange undertone,” says Goldstein. “It is intense and rich yet not too deep making it one of my favorite colors for fall.” CHANEL Le Venrnis in Bois Des Iles $32 CHANEL ESSIE Nail Polish in Audacity $18 JINSOON CHANEL Le Venrnis in Rouge Noir $32 CHANEL ESSIE Nail Polish in Fire Clay $18 JINSOON Warm Browns “Brown tones, especially warmer ones, create a cozy and comforting feeling that’s ideal for sweater weather,” says Nyguen. Hanna achieves this brand of coziness (think cinnamon, or milk chocolate, or light roast coffee) with a terracotta finished in a matte coat. “It’s one of the more popular colors we are seeing this fall, and the matte topcoat makes it feel warm and cozy,” she says. OPI Vernis A Ongles in Endless Sun-ner $11 AMAZON Nail Lacquer in Midnight Delight $9 ESSIE ESSIE Nail Polish in Earth Clay $18 JINSOON OPI Nail Lacquer in Espresso Your Inner Self $11 AMAZON Moody Blues Dior’s Vernis Nail Polish in 902 Pied-de-Poule is a go-to for Stone when she’s in want of just the right amount of moody. “This deep blue is perfect for those that prefer a dark nail without going full goth,” she says. “It’s chic without feeling spooky, and leaves lots of color depth to style your outfits around it for the week.” Goldstein achieves a similar effect with Dark and Stormy from Color Department. “This rich, deep navy blue is my favorite to pair with an all black outfit for fall,” she says. “It’s vibrant yet sophisticated and playful.” DIOR Dior Vernis Nail Polish in Pied-de-Poule $30 DIOR COLOR DEPT.
