In the beauty world,we think of neutralsin a different way.

We love aclassic French,a traditional red, or (our all-time favorite) a deep maroon.

The reddish-brown hue is the ultimate nail color for any season.

If you have a nail tech on speed dial who can do something like this, hey do it!

Use thin pieces of nail tape to ensure clean edges.

Simply paint on two or three coats of a wine-hued polish for a fall-approved mani.

We especially love the look of the no-shine finish on thesesharp square nails.

To make this an easy DIY manicure, opt for a maroon polish already formulated in a matte finish.

That way, all you need is one coat, and you are good to gono top coat required.

One of the most beautiful yet unexpected color combos to rock is maroon and navy.

So it’s no wonder that this mani turned out perfect!

Subtle Shimmer

Shimmery nails are an easy way to elevate a monochrome manicure.

When they come in the form of a moody hue, it’s somehow even better!

Take this maroon mani, for example.

It has a subtle shimmer and a deep shift that would look great on just about anyone.

The cat-eye effect makes this multidimensional hue pop.

Get your hands on Gelcare’s Fig polish to get the exact same chic look.
