How to Keep Fall Almond Nails Looking Fresh

Dark fall shades like cranberry, espresso and plum show chips sooner than nudes, so cap the free edge with every coat and refresh your top coat every few days to keep the shine. Almond nails are strongest when the sides are kept smooth, so file in one direction only, and keep cuticle oil nearby — rich autumn colours look twice as expensive against hydrated cuticles. Book infills every two to three weeks to keep the shape crisp.

From cosy plaids to full crimson-gold drama, almond nails were made for autumn’s rich, warm palette. Save the sets that catch your eye, show them to your nail tech, and let your manicure match the season.
