Last year’s latte nails just got an autumn makeover. Suddenly, everyone — TikTok creators, celebs, and the girl next to me at the nail salon — is getting coffee nails. It’s a simple trend really. You simple just match your nails to your coffee order. That means, the color will be black, dark brown, honey brown, creamy golden — the options are endless.
Coffee-inspired manicures also swirl together brown and caramel polishes to create the look of a latte, so if you want to level up your nail game, give it a try. Or take inspo from the below nail ideas and bring them to the salon and see if your manicurist can nail the look. It’s not too far removed from the clean-girl nail trend, which is also blowing up, especially in Los Angeles. The shades are just a bit different depending on your skin tone but can give off the same vibe.
Below, some of the looks we’re drooling over. You’re going to want to bookmark this.
