The Message of Colors: 7 Trending Tones to Adopt in F/W
One of the best aspects of nail art is just how we can express ourselves outwardly without saying a single word. The color you choose to wear on your nails says a lot about your personality. Sometimes we choose bold colors like red to wear on our nails, which shows we're definitely feeling positive, at least in that moment. Other times we may opt for a more subtle color such as nude, which may imply we're trying to blend in or simply feeling peaceful and comfortable. But did you know the color we choose to wear on our nails can not only reflect our current mood but also impact our energy and even our decision-making at times? Channeling your energy field through nail colors can be the self-improvement propellant you've been looking for. Let‘s make more attempts, and colors will guide us on our journey of self-development and spiritual exploration. Ⅰ. Cherry & Burgundy: Independence, Ambition, Sophistication, and Depth Dark red tones, ranging from fruity cherry to deeper, slightly purplish burgundy hues, have taken the fashion world and social media by storm this fall and winter. Dark red exudes a rich vintage charm, carrying an aura of mystery, sophistication, and nobility. Models and celebrities at fashion weeks are showcasing dark red shades in their looks. Dark red is the ultimate nail staple this season. Ⅱ. Apple Red: Adventure, Energy, Passion, Confidence and Courage Elevate your nail game with the big apple red! Sensual and provocative, this fiery red, as the key color of this season, perfectly interprets the balance between femininity and power in women. When you wear red on your nails, you may feel strong, energetic, aggressive, and even 'dangerous'. You're displaying more than just who you are or how you're feeling; you're showing who you want to be and the energy you wish to radiate. Ⅲ. Rainforest & Aventurine: Resilience, Peace, and Awareness of Nature The green trend in F/W 2023 is a rich green tone that's full of vitality. It creates a strong sense of elegance and sophistication, bringing forth a modern and feminine style. Derived from the surface color of Aventurine, this deep green tone draws inspiration from the lush rainforest, infusing a breath of plant life and reminding us of the healing properties and benefits of green quartz and nature. It generates a feeling of restfulness, helping us feel calm, refreshed, balanced, and harmonious with the environment. Ⅳ. Ocean & Sapphire: Calmness, Determination and Freedom The dark blue tone from the deep sea is profound and understated, yet it retains its luxury and nobility. Combined with a glossy finish, it resembles the shimmering radiance under the moonlight on a dark night coast. When this shade is applied to your nails, it injects a powerful and serene aura, along with a feminine and elegant temperament. It shapes a mature and calm image with its highly captivating effect. Ⅴ. Grape, Plum & Raspberry: Alluring Beauty, Duality, and Mystery A mellow richness derived from time—purple symbolizes glamour, confidence, femininity, adventure, and competence. The reduced brightness of the dark purple imparts a subtle and reserved visual feel, exhibiting an understated yet glamorous elegance in everyday social interactions. Filled with a mysterious aura, the color exudes a strong vintage vibe, ideal for creating a sophisticated modern style. Wearing purple nail colors may engender feelings of status and power within you, make you feel empowered, and guide you to imagination and creativity, encouraging you to think outside the box. Ⅵ. Coffee & Cocoa: Reliability, A Sense of Belonging and Warmth As autumn arrives, it signifies the return of earthy tones. The coffee and cocoa tones convey nostalgic styles, bringing the power of healing and fulfillment, helping us to reconnect with the essence of nature and the spiritual realm of all living things. In this fast-paced era, these versatile colors become a staple, showcasing the alluring charm of a retro-intellectual look and interpreting a calm and composed color attitude. Ⅶ. Gold & Silver: Power, Success, Radiance and Glory Silver usually symbolizes elegance, purity, and wealth, while gold represents nobility, wealth, glory, and success. Silver and gold can be used to elevate your nail look, bringing contrast and drawing attention with the trending colors mentioned above. They're a must-have for the holiday season, suitable for any occasion, from date night to parties to happy hour. The psychological impact of color has already been widely acknowledged by a significant number of psychologists. While fashion changes with every season, please always remember: the best color in the whole world is the one that looks good on you.
