Fall 2024 nail trends come with endless options. There are 3D nail designs, embellishment adds-ons, and French tips for starters. But if these lean too maximalist for you, you can always opt for a more understated option: matte nail designs. “After summer nail trends were oversaturated Brat nails and everything-glazed trends, we are ready for a very demure fall,” says Christina Kao, co-CEO and co-founder of Le Mini Macaron. “Matte nails offer the perfect balance. They add texture and sophistication without being overly flashy — serving as the ultimate something extra without the extra.”
The smooth, non-shiny look can feel classy, clean and easily be accentuated with designs to liven up your look. Meaning, just because matte nails aren’t shiny, your manicure won’t be boring. Celebrity manicurist and brand founder, Deborah Lippmann deems major matte nail trends to include shapes, lines, and small pops of color. “Right now, we’re seeing very simple matte manicures for a sleek look, and bolder black, red and darker manicures for the grunge look.”
