We love a good nail trend at Grazia, especially one that speaks to our soul (enter ‘Rosé All Day Nails’ - not seen this trend yet? Click here). There’s a fair number of us out there that would admit to not being able to get through a morning without an adequately caffeinated mug of steaming hot coffee and it seems the obsession as begin to infiltrate the nail arena too. From the dark and stormy hues of an Americano to the ripples amber effect of a caramel macchiato and, of course, the creamy nude shade of a decadent latte, new on-trend manicures and gleaning their inspiration from coffee menus worldwide.
Sure you might have to leave the macchiato effect nail art stuff to the professionals (when we can finally return to nail and beauty salons in the UK!) but when it comes to hunting down those perfect latte-look shades of nude and deep, luxe Americano shades of brown nail polish, the digital beauty shelves are your oyster.
The Best Nail Polishes For The Job
Chanel Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour in Frenzy, £18, is a beautiful shade that errs on the coffee side of nude and perfect for that latte effect. If you want to tick every coffee-look manicure option in one buy, try the Nails Inc Keep It Tonal Nail Polish Set, £22, which includes four coffee-esque shades of nail polish in one set. Then there's Essie's Nail Polish in Bordeaux, £7.99, a warm shade of brown nail lacquer that hits just the right Americano style manicure note.
What To Ask For In-Salon
When it comes to finally returning to a nail salon for a gel manicure these are the shades to keep an eye out for. Shellac's Field Fox shade has forever been a crowd-pleaser and is the one to opt for if you're after a latte shade of gel polish. When it comes to a deeper brown, OPI's GelColor in Shh...It's Top Secret is the go-to.
