Nail artists suggest transition trends for summer-to-fall manicures

Nail artists are identifying key trends for the transition from summer to fall, focusing on colors and shapes that bridge the gap between bright seasonal shades and moody autumn tones.

Popular nail shapes currently include almond and short square. Almond shapes are noted for providing a softer, elongated look, while short square nails are trending for those seeking a clean, practical, and natural appearance.

Color trends for this period include earthy tones like sage and olive green, which serve as a transition from lighter summer greens. Other recommended styles include jelly finishes for a sophisticated pop of color, glossy turquoise, and classic reds.
