You really want this color on your nails this autumn

By

One of the nicest recurring appointments in my schedule is with my nail stylist Cynthia. I come in with some inspiration and she always puts a nice twist on it. Usually, I have a rough idea of what kind of pattern I want, but when it comes to colors, I leave a lot up to her. ‘I'm in the mood for something autumnal,’ I just say, and she knows exactly which colors to pick. When I think of autumn colors, I think of dark green, brown, orange, and dark red. That's exactly what I needed right now. Still, I have one unwritten rule: we only do orange on King's Day or around the European or World Cup.

Because autumn was already approaching, I got my autumn dream nails last time: dark green marble with gold leaf. I knew I would miss these nails, no matter how beautiful the next ones would be. But luckily, I went with a plan. Because with the rain, wind, and storm outside, you need something warm on your nails. Lilian had recently written about the color of this autumn: burgundy.

There are so many fun options to think of with this color.

And what many people don't know: even if you want a biab treatment, you can still choose fun colors and nail art. What we are seeing a lot right now are ‘magnetic nails’. That doesn't mean your keys will constantly stick to your nails, but it's a technique used to create beautiful patterns in your nails using special magnetic nail polish. It gives a kind of glitter effect and some extra depth. This is available in almost every color, but I have decided to postpone this trend for myself until Christmas. So I chose burgundy nails with a nice autumnal pattern of cozy leaves. A bit less prominent than the pattern I had before, because that variation is also very nice. Be sure to get inspired via Insta. There are so many accounts with the most beautiful and creative ideas to be found.
