There is no denying that nutmeg nails are the newest thing in the realm of beauty and it is no wonder as to why. This warm and earthy hue has produced some buzz since last fall when chocolate brown appeared to be everywhere, both in closets and in the beauty world. Skip to 2025, and Pantone has selected mocha mousse as the colour of the year. Therefore, nutmeg nails are well on their way to being the hottest trend for fall, serving as a cosy and refined alternative to classic nail colours. Nutmeg nails are characterised by a warm, rich brown tone combined with red-rust undertones that provide feelings of cosiness and sophistication. If you are searching for an updated beauty routine or simply want something "in," nutmeg nails should be top of the list. 

What Is Nutmeg Colour?

Nutmeg nails have become the perfect autumnal nail colour, radiating warmth and elegance. This rich, comforting colour is placed between warm brown and rust orange, reminiscent of the heady aroma of ground nutmeg. The cosy brown nail design not only borrows its name from its spiced equivalent but also embraces toffee brown tones alongside lighter warm browns. Nutmeg nails communicate all of those autumnal feelings of comfort and seasonal sophistication.
