Tips for Making Matte Burnt Orange Nails Last

Matte top coats show wear sooner than gloss, so refresh the matte layer every few days and keep a spare bottle at home for quick touch-ups. Oils and hand creams dull the velvet finish, so apply them around the nail rather than over it, and wipe the surface with a lint-free pad and a little nail cleanser to bring back the flat, powdery look.

From one plaid accent nail to a full set of flame-tipped stilettos, matte burnt orange is the cosiest way to wear autumn. Pick your favourite, book the appointment, and let the season settle in.
