From deep red glazed finishes to chic tortoiseshell art and playful polka dots, this season’s nails are all about cosy vibes with a stylish twist. Discover the autumn nail trends we’re loving at Macadamia Hair Spa.

There’s something about autumn that calls for a nail refresh. The air gets crisp, the coffee gets creamier, and our colour palettes shift from bright and beachy to warm, rich and oh-so-sophisticated.

So, what are we reaching for this season? Whether you’re all about the natural look or love a statement design, here are the autumn nail trends we’re loving at Macadamia Hair Spa — and yes, they look just as good wrapped around a pumpkin spice latte as they do clutching your umbrella on a drizzly day.

Neutral BIAB with a Short, Rounded Shape

The clean girl aesthetic isn’t going anywhere, and autumn’s take is all about natural elegance. Short, rounded BIAB nails (Builder in a Bottle, if you’re new here) give that effortlessly polished look — perfect for everyday wear. The neutral tones let your natural beauty shine through, while the structure adds strength and style. Understated? Yes. Boring? Absolutely not.

Deep Red Glazed Nails

Red nails, but make them moody. Deep cherry, mulled wine, even a vampy blackcurrant — all with that ultra-shiny glazed finish we’ve seen all over the ‘gram. These nails are glossy, grown-up, and just the right amount of dramatic for autumn. Pair with a cosy knit and a bold lip? Chef’s kiss.

Tortoiseshell Nail Art

Spotted everywhere from sunglasses to handbags, tortoiseshell is now officially an autumn nail staple. With warm caramel, chocolate, and amber tones swirled together in a marbled design, it’s chic, textured, and totally wearable. Go for a feature nail or a full set – either way, this one’s a crowd-pleaser.

Coffee & Chocolate Shades

Think espresso, mocha, cocoa, cinnamon… basically, your favourite hot drinks turned into nail colours. Rich brown tones are making a big comeback this season, and we are here for it. Whether you go glossy or matte, these shades feel luxurious, bold, and bang on-trend.

Polka Dot Nails

Retro, playful and surprisingly versatile — polka dot nails are back in fashion. Whether you keep it monochrome for a sleek mod vibe, or mix in earthy autumn tones like rust, cream and chocolate, this look is a brilliant way to add a touch of fun to your fingertips. We love them on a nude base for a stylish twist that’s anything but childish.
