Within the last week or so, I have noticed that practically everyone has entered their autumn nail era. On my most recent visit to the nail shop, I heard three separate requests for cosy-girl plum nails, while a quick glance around the tube on my commute to work this morning provided a plethora of moody hued manicures to look to for inspiration. While simple, block-coloured designs are undoubtedly having a moment, however, for those who prefer to dip their talons into nail art trends, there’s only one way to go this autumn—animal print nails.
Why do animal print designs feel perfect for this time of year? Well, when taken in their most literal design sense, animal print nails bring together autumn nail colours, like chocolate brown and rich, earthy tones, with all the fun and playfulness of nail art. Much like the best holiday nail designs channel the bright, punchy hues of tropical islands and beach getaways, animal print nail art feels in keeping with the crisp autumn weather that we're now all embracing.
