The seasons are changing, and nothing indicates the arrival of a new quarter quite like a fresh polish change! If we know anything, it is that chic-ly executed bold moves are all the rage this fall. That includes wardrobe, nails, and yes, jewels! If you are sporting a fabulous unique engagement ring on your finger, it is imperative that you sport the season’s hottest mani to match. In true SKFJ fashion, we have compiled all the season’s hottest nail trends and paired them with our most popular engagement ring styles to ensure that this fall, no hand is left behind.
SIMPLE ENGAGEMENT RINGS + IRIDESCENT SHIMMER NAILS
Classic and sophisticated is the name of the game. Nothing quite beats the timeless allure of simple engagement rings, positioning the dazzling center stone as the star of the show. If this description matches your sparkler, then this nail trend is for you! Classic with a touch of shimmer, iridescent nails are all the rage. Ask your manicurist for a neutral nude or pink base and a coat of gold or silver shimmer to seal the deal!
SALT AND PEPPER DIAMOND RING + NAKED AND MINIMAL NAILS
If you are rocking a salt and pepper diamond ring we know that you have a knack for the perfectly imperfect. The modern minimalist, you are not afraid to take risks and your manicure should absolutely reflect that. Expressive lines have been a nail trend all year but give it the fall treatment by incorporating dark and moody shades such as black or grey. The “naked” nail underneath allows the design to pop while maintaining a minimally sophisticated feel.
SAPPHIRE ENGAGEMENT RINGS + AURA NAILS
Despite popular belief, the changing of leaves doesn’t always indicate the loss of color. Sometimes, a pop of color is essential to tying a look together and providing that final flair of personal style. If you are a color lover adorned with a sweet sapphire engagement ring (hi, September birthstone!) then this season’s Aura nail trend is calling your name. Airbrushed nail art has been around for quite a while, but this dreamy upgrade is one of the season’s hottest trends. Explore an array of colors for either a color synchronous or color-blocked look that will pair beautifully with your unique engagement ring’s hued glow.
CHAMPAGNE DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING + CHOCOLATE GLAZED DONUT NAILS
Did someone say champagne? And by champagne, we mean diamonds of course! For a combo that will certainly warrant the popping of bubbly, try pairing your sparkly champagne diamond with this season’s “it” manicure. If style icon Hailey Bieber has taught us anything, it is that a simple coat of white chrome creates a delicious glazed effect over almost any color, and fall-inspired browns are no exception. Head to the salon and choose a chocolate-y shade that calls to you, then ask your manicurist to mix it with a clear topcoat to create the perfect sheer base. Seal the deal with a light layer of white chrome and voila! You will be left with the perfect glistening shade that practically tastes like fall!
