As we move into a new season, I've been keeping a keen eye on the nail trends and winter nail colours we can expect to see take over in the coming months. It's no secret that brown nails are one of the defining nail colour trends of the year, but there is one particular nail polish shade I'm seeing all over my feeds right now on the most well-manicured hands, and that's mocha nails.

I first spotted it on the beautiful hands of nail tech, Mateja Novakovic, and I've found the exact shade that I've since been seeing on the fashion set and beauty insiders. The shade? Manucurist Green Flash Nail Polish in Mocha (£19).

The colour is a rich, chocolatey brown with warm coffee undertones that looks both elegant and stylish. What's great is that Manucurist offers it in two formulas. You can buy it in the Green Nail Polish formula, which applies like regular nail polish. Or, it also comes in Green Flash Nail Polish, which can be used alongside Manucurist's LED lamp to cure the polish for a long-lasting manicure. It's not a gel manicure, but it looks, feels and lasts almost just as well on the nails.

I reviewed Manucurist's Green Flash LED Kit recently and was amazed at how well it lasted on my nails. It's a great gel nail alternative.
