The coolest autumn manicure trend on the block combines two of my favourite things: nail polish and wine. Cabernet nails are the ultimate go-to, simple trend to opt for this Autumn. Yes, I am seeing every cool girl I know wear this one autumnal nail shade on their manicures right now—and I’m totally sold.
While burgundies and browns are certainly the colours of the season when it comes to fashion, it’s safe to say they also make for the perfect signature nail polish shades, too. So what exactly are cabernet nails? Well, they nail that perfect deep, red-brown shade that looks strikingly similar to – you guessed it – a glass of cabernet. And cabernet nails embody all of the same goodness as a glass of deep red wine—they’re rich, luxe and perfect for autumn.
Cabernet nails truly suit everyone; the colour works on every skin tone and without the need for any complicated nail art (although this colour complements more advanced styles, too), it is a super-easy trend to get involved with from home.
All you need to do is find the right nail polish colour. There are a ton of burgundy, wine-like shades around, but I’d advise keeping an eye out for those that have more of a deep, purple tone, rather than simply dark red polishes, as these tones are a little more wine-like. I love the options below by Sephora and Chanel.

Something that’s non-negotiable with this trend? Having a hi-shine finish, of course.
If you don’t fancy burgundy all over the nail, there are so many lovely nail art options.
If you’re struggling to know which shade of deep red/brown is best, think about the colour of a cherry, which is ideal.
Simple gold dots atop your cabernet mani is a gorgeous way to give it a festive twist as we head into November and December.
