The perfect seasonal shade
As far as autumnal nail shades go, red sits pretty high on our list of go-to colours. And what pairs well with a fresh manicure? A crips glass of wine. Or, even better, why not combine the two and take on this season’s burgeoning manicure trend, cabernet nails? Here’s how to do it.
What Are Carbernet Nails?
Evoking the rich hues of your favourite glass of wine, a cabernet manicure sees nails painted in deep shades of red, purple and brown. And with autumn now well underway, it’s proving to be a popular colour at the beauty bar – alongside similar notes of maroon and burgundy. But this wine-like shade offers a more luxurious finish with the addition of warm, purple undertones, which add even more dimension to the manicure.
The beauty of the trend doesn’t stop there, either. One of the major appeals of cabernet nails lies in its ability to complement a wide range of skin tones, making them a universally flattering option. Luxe and easy to wear, they’re quickly becoming the go-to manicure for autumn/winter.

How To Wear The Trend
While this is a manicure than can be styled as intricately or minimally as you like, there is one non-negotiable: the finish. A high-shine finish is essential for creating this look, echoing the liquid appearance of cabernet and elevating the luxurious feel of the manicure.
How To Ask For Cabernet Nails In The Salon
The key to nailing a cabernet manicure is, of course, the colour. So make sure you ask for a wine-like shade, combining deep reds, browns and purples. You can also round up some images of designs you like, from places like Instagram and Pinterest, that you can show your nail tech.
