Brown Nail Designs Inspired By Sofia Richie’s Latest Manicure

Nail designs – there’s always something new and exciting to suit each and every nail shape. Take TikTok trends for example – this year we’ve seen an increase in the search for ombre designs as well as neon hues and Barbie pinks. While these bright nail designs made for the perfect summer manicure, now the weather is getting colder and the days are becoming darker, meaning it's time to switch up our manicures in time for the winter months. It's no wonder then, that we've seen creators make a play for moodier tones suited to autumn manicures. When celebrity manicurists like Iram Shelton and Harriet Westmoreland do switch up their signature milky pink polishes, they’re making moves towards berry red, dramatic black and burnt orange shades. The latest trend to hit 2023? Brown nail designs. And, we can confirm, they look seriously chic. In fact, searches for brown nails are up 150% on Google trends suggesting this is a mani to pay attention to.

The first of the A-Listers to lend their seal of approval to the mani of the moment? Sofia Richie - and celeb manicurist Betina Goldsteincosigns this message. She wrote ‘love the nail colour,’ under the a picture carousel Richie shared to Instagram, just swipe through bellow.

From rich coffee nail art to creamy sweeps of latte, here's our edit of Grazia approved brown nail art to inspire you ahead of your upcoming salon appointment or your next DIY job. Whether you're partial to gel nails, BIAB nails or acrylic nail inspiration, consider this all you could ever need.
