We all know that when it comes to nail trends, neutral colours can't be beaten, especially for autumn manicures. From deep nudes to chocolate brown nail polish shades, there are lots of expensive-looking options to choose from. However, if you feel like mixing things up but don't want to stray from your usual muted colour palette, I think I've just found the chicest neutral manicure for the new season. As someone who studies nail trends for a living, I predict that mauve nails will be making a huge comeback this autumn.
While this greyish, brownish-purple hue is nothing new, we've seen it replaced this summer by trending neutral manicures, such as milky nails and "soft serve" nails. But this autumn, I know people will be gravitating towards those slightly deeper shades, and mauve is definitely the way to go for a chic-looking finish.
If you still need convincing, check out some of these sophisticated mauve manicures below.
