Ready to fall in love with autumn’s hottest nails? Sorbet gives us the lowdown on the four must-try trends of the season.
In terms of the shape of things to come, Kylie Jenner is to thank for a nail trend that’s set to be the biggest – or at least the longest – for 2016. Super-lengthy, sharp and – dare we say it – morbidly beautiful, coffin nails are squarer than the stiletto shape and (yay) easier to maintain. Yet given the deadly length, the most practical way to wear them is ideally overlaid with a hard gel or acrylic.
We can’t find anything negative about the fact that the negative space manicure is showing no signs of fading away. Incorporating the naked nail as part of the overall composition, the trend made its marked debut at NYFW ’15 – featuring striking minimalist designs such as black and white geometric shapes, simple stripes and reverse moons.
Speaking of reverse, the classic French – considered the epitome of the perfect nail – has literally made a switch. Whether you call it the ‘reverse French’, ‘half-moon’ or ‘upside down’ mani, it’s having a moment. As the name suggests, the quintessentially white part of the mani is placed at the bottom of the nail, and not at the tip. Oui oui! Or should we say “ iuo iuo”?!
