Rich reds are back this season
Move aside pumpkin spice, a new shade is taking over the salons this autumn. Maroon nails channel all the richness of the season, with the added bonus of being a hit in winter too. Intrigued? Here’s some inspiration for your next nail appointment.
What Are Maroon Nails?
‘Maroon nails are a rich red manicure that perfectly captures the warmth and depth of autumn,’ says Lynn Mason, nail expert at Mavala. ‘Its deep, bold tone complements a variety of skin tones and outfits, making it a versatile choice that feels both sophisticated and cosy. This shade instantly feels reminiscent of crisp leaves and mulled wine – while adding a touch of elegance that’s ideal for cooler weather.’
As Lynn noted, this particular shade of red becomes incredibly popular when autumn hits (although the timelessness of the colour makes it a great all-year manicure). In fact, Google recently reported a spike in searches for maroon nails – in particular almond nails and French tips – and TikTok has amassed over 93.8 million posts for #maroonnaildesignideas. So it looks like this is the manicure to have on your radar at your next nail appointment.

How To Wear The Trend
You can’t go wrong with a classic maroon manicure – but if you want to go a little bolder with your nails, you have plenty of options. Maroon lends itself well to almond and stiletto shapes, and looks great in a range of textures. Opt for a shiny, glass-like finish for a super polished look, or try a matte manicure for something a little different. You can even try the viral cat-eye or chrome manicures for a trendy touch.
As for nail art, this is a colour that looks pretty with metallic illustrations and accents. Think hearts, bows, stars and moons. And, of course, it makes for a stunning modern French mani.

How To Ask For Maroon Nails At The Salon
In the salon, ask your nail tech for a dark red, autumnal manicure. From there, you can go through colour swatches to find the right shade of maroon. If you plan on getting a manicure with nail art, then you’ll also want to bring in some photo references that your nail tech can work from.
