Forget red - garnet nails are the intensely chic and glossy look taking centre stage this autumn

A close-up of hands with dark burgundy nails by manicurist, Julia Diogo(@paintedbyjools), featured in a white and grey template with dark pink dots and two burgundy nail polish spills.

Combining a crystal-like shine with a rich, dark red tint, garnet nails are the twist on burgundy that's set to be everywhere this season - and the shade is especially chic on short nails.

As far as the 2025 nail trends are concerned, autumn's nail designs have been our favourites. Now, we are a tad biased, as dark reds and chocolate brown nails are among our top picks for an effortlessly chic manicure, but even still, the season has offered a fine array of looks. Some feel very fresh, like polka dot nails, while others repackage classic shades with an altogether more appealing name. Take garnet, which, for all intents and purposes, is a shade of burgundy or brown-red, and yet, is spanning into its own trend - much like black cherry and lychee nails before it.
