Cooler Than Burgundy, This Autumn Nail Colour Is One to Watch

Cooler Than Burgundy, This Autumn Nail Colour Is One to Watch

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...
