Duck Feet Nails

Duck feet nails had their moment in the sun, but their unnatural appearance and discomfort have cast them aside. Maintaining these quirky claws can be a real challenge, leaving us to wonder why they were ever a trend. It's safe to say, in 2023, we're all about more natural and comfortable nail styles.
Long Stiletto Nails

Long stiletto nails, as shocking as it may seem, were once in vogue. But in the real world, those needle-sharp tips were more torture than trend. Fast forward to this fall, and we've collectively decided that comfort and practicality trump the edgy discomfort of stilettos.
3D Nail Designs

3D nails once dazzled with their creativity, but some (and I actually mean many) went overboard. Excessive decorations can turn your nails into miniature art galleries. This fall, less is more when it comes to 3D nail art. Keep it chic and simple to stay in style.
Melting Nails

Melting nails had their moment, thanks to their whimsical resemblance to melting ice cream. But as seasons change, so do our nail preferences. We're now opting for nail designs that are a bit more solid and a lot less melty. It's time to let the ice cream-inspired nails melt away.
Velvet Nails

Velvet nails once shared the spotlight with celebrities like Hailey Bieber, but they're now taking a back seat this final part of the year. Our trusty nail experts predict that the velvety trend won't be making a grand return anytime soon. So, let's save the soft textures for our clothing, shall we?
Bubble Nails

Bubble nails, as "intriguing" as they might appear, often give off a spine-chilling vibe. Fortunately, this trend has lost its fizz, and this fall (and year), it's bubbling out of the picture with very few enthusiasts left. It seems we're popping the bubble nail trend for good!
Pom Pom Nails

Pom pom nails, once the epitome of cuteness, have faded from the spotlight. Those oversized pom poms may have looked adorable, but practicality wasn't their strong suit. Fast forward to now, we're opting for manicures that are both stylish and comfortable, leaving the pom poms behind.
Lipstick Nails

Lipstick nails made waves online with their unusual shape, but they quickly vanished from the scene. Safety concerns, thanks to those sharp angles, played a significant role in their downfall. This fall, we're sticking to safer, more stylish nail choices.
Pop Art Nail Designs

Pop Art nail designs, once a vibrant expression of creativity, have bid us adieu now and, hopefully, for the rest of our lives. The era of bold, comic-inspired nails is taking a hiatus, making way for newer, more subdued trends. It's time for more elegant, simple, and chic designs!
Pierced Nails

While body piercings remain popular, pierced nails never quite caught on. It's no surprise; trying to pierce your nail beds seems like a task best left in the past. This fall and moving into the new year, we're embracing nail trends that don't involve potential pain.
Glitter and Mega Sparkly Designs

If you're a fan of bling, brace yourself for some disappointing news. Glitter and excessively sparkly designs are taking a backseat this fall (and likely the following year as well). This period's all about embracing a more subtle and understated elegance with your nail art.
Easter-themed Nails

As lovely as Easter-themed nails can be, they're a tad premature for fall, don't you think? However, a nail tech's client really, and I mean, REALLY wanted Easter-themed designs on her nails this past week. Still, let's save those cute pastels and bunny motifs for the spring season and opt for more seasonally appropriate designs to rock this autumn!
Snowflake Nail Designs

As enchanting and cute as snowflakes are, it's a tad too early to embrace them on your nails, don't you think? Better save those delicate snowflake designs for the frosty winter months, and let your nails cozy up to more autumn-appropriate styles this fall.
Reindeer Nails

Reindeer nails, with their holiday charm, are better suited for the winter wonderland of December. I think we all agree on this. So, while Rudolph and its friends are adorable and so cute, it's best to let them roam free until the snow starts falling.
Long Red Nails with Jeweled Applique

Long red nails adorned with flashy jewels may scream glamour (perhaps not many people's type of glamour, but well...), but they're far from practical. Maneuvering daily tasks with these extravagant claws can be quite the challenge. This fall, it's all about combining style with comfort.
3D Chain-Like Patterns

Bright green nails paired with 3D chain-like patterns? It's like a visual explosion that's hard to ignore, but not in a good way. Really not in a good way. So, let's dial it back a notch and opt for more tasteful and less distracting nail designs this fall and in the following season.
Curly Transparent Nails

Transparent nails with a "curly" twist might remind you of pasta, but they aren't winning any style awards. These quirky designs can leave you with more questions than compliments. In the spirit of timeless elegance, let's explore more refined manicure choices.
Very Long Duck/Bell Nails

Whether they resemble ducks or bells, those extremely long nails are an attention-grabber. However, practicality takes a backseat when you sport such dramatic lengths. This fall, it's all about finding a balance between style and functionality for your nail game.
Long Drips Design

Multi-colored manicures with dramatic drips in black, red, and blue may have turned heads, but they might not be the most appealing choice. In 2023, we're opting for nail designs that offer sophistication and elegance without the distraction of dramatic drips.
Neon Green

The neon green, nude, and forest green combo is undoubtedly unique, but it's an acquired taste that doesn't quite match the cozy vibes of fall. This season, let's stick to nail colors that harmonize with the autumn palette for a more season-appropriate look.
Food-Inspired Nails

Food-inspired nails may tickle your taste buds, but these Oreo-themed ones actually resemble a moldy drain rather than a tasty treat on these nails. Let's all leave these snack-inspired nail designs in the past and seek more appealing and tasteful options for our fingertips.
Metallic Manicure

Pink chrome nails that extend too far down the cuticle and are overloaded with glitter? It's a bit much, even for the most devoted fans of metallica. This year, we're toning down the shine and aiming for a more balanced and sophisticated metallic manicure.
Seeing Hearts

Sharp and oddly shaped nails adorned with bobbles may grab a lot of attention, but they can be more painful than pretty. I say it's time to opt for nail designs that prioritize both style and comfort, leaving these heart-heavy designs behind. Elegance is also a must when it comes to nails.
Tie and Dye Designs

Colorful, claw-like tie-dye nails may cater to the adventurous, but they're not for everyone's taste. Therefore, this fall, we're inclined to embrace nail trends that offer a touch of elegance and versatility, ensuring your manicure suits any occasion.
Bell-Shaped French

Bell-shaped nails, with their excessively large size, might make a statement, but they're far from practical. Maneuvering with these cumbersome claws can be a daily struggle. Instead, we're opting for nail styles that balance flair and functionality for a more manageable and stylish experience this fall.
Toucan's Beak

While it's amusing to spot nails resembling a toucan's beak, it's not a look everyone aims for. These orange and coral curved nails, once seen, can't be unseen. To maintain your style and avoid quirky comparisons, consider more versatile nail designs.
Curved Nails

Impractical and dazzling, these brightly colored curved nails can be a bit overwhelming. Their flamboyance might blind onlookers to your true style. In 2023, we're choosing manicures that balance vibrancy with elegance, ensuring your nails make a statement without shouting.
Ugly Sweater Nails

Tastes vary, but even the most open-minded nail enthusiasts might find ugly sweater nails a tad overwhelming. Their intricate designs are better suited for holiday parties than a typical fall day. This season, let's embrace nail art that complements the cozy vibes of autumn.
Spring Nails

Spring-inspired designs, while lovely in their own right, don't quite align with the fall atmosphere. Save those floral and pastel nail ideas for when the flowers bloom, and the sun shines. For now, let's adorn our nails with more seasonally appropriate choices.
Moss Nails

Moss-themed nail designs, though unique, might not be the wisest choice for your fall manicure. Moss belongs in gardens, not on your fingertips. In 2023, we're setting our sights on nail art that captures the essence of the season without venturing into greenery overload.
