As. a beauty editor who studies nail trends for a living, I'm always looking for the next big nail colour trend or niche nail art trends. It's no secret that brown nails have been a huge trend over the past year, and looking at winter's nail trends, we're not seeing it going anywhere anytime soon.

Wholesale Replica Bag interpretation of the trend I've been seeing all over my feeds for winter is chocolate almond nails. Inspired by the glossy lacquer of an almond dipped into melted chocolate, these glossy finishes look ultra-expensive—not to mention, good enough to eat.

Chocolate Almond Nail Trend

I first saw the trend on celebrity manicurist Georgia Rae's IG. Note the glossy chocolate hue and the rounded nail shape that make it look ultra luxe.

This trend looks equally chic on short nails, too. This short squoval mani suits chocolate tones so well, and I'm taking this light brown manicure to the salon for mani inspo.

Long almond nails with dark chocolate brown polish

With a long almond nail shape, these dark chocolate nails are just perfection.
