These are the only nail colours that matter this November (and they go with everything)

The weather is starting to turn wintery, so naturally, our nail colours are taking on warmer, deeper hues that channel the cosy, warm vibe we love to harness this season.

If you’re ready to transform your manicure into a seasonal accessory, get ready to fall in love with a palette that combines glamour, warmth and sophistication. But these aren’t your typical autumnal shades — this month, we’re celebrating punchy, bold shades, as well as traditional deep hues of purple and wine red for a super chic mani.

Read on and discover the nine nail colours that will dominate this month and make you want to wear each one before the year is out.

Dark cherry

The undisputed favourite of the season. Cherry red is a dark shade with wine undertones that captures the essence of late autumn: elegant, sensual and with a touch of mystery. It’s just what you need if you love intense, sophisticated nail shades.

You can wear it in a glossy finish for a classic look or with a jelly top coat for a sleeker look.

Terracotta

Inspired by autumnal landscapes, terracotta is a shade that best represents the last hint of warmth before winter. It combines the orange hues of the leaves with the earthy touch that conveys calm and elegance.

The best thing about this shade is its versatility: it looks good on any nail length and looks great in both satin and matte finishes.

Plum

Looking for nail colours for November that will make you stand out with elegance? Plum is a perfect choice. Its mix of burgundy and dark purple hues gives an air of sophistication that won’t go unnoticed. It’s perfect for almond-shaped or square nails, especially if you love a refined and feminine look. And it’s perfect for short nail shapes, giving a very chic vibe.
