Fruit peel autumn nails
A hangover from one summer’s biggest trends, fruit nails, the autumn nail evolution is fruit peel. The brainchild of South Korean nail artist @nail.nuha, imagine the sheer gloss of jelly nails paired with the mesmerising shine of cat-eye nails. Drawing inspiration from the fruit bowl, the innovative design is reminiscent of Tanghulu, the Chinese sugar-coated delights you can also find in Korea. To give these nails a more autumnal vibe, switch summer fruits like peaches and nectarines for apples, figs or even tomatoes.
