Matte nails are the perfect way to embrace the season’s cosy vibes, offering a chic and understated elegance. If you're looking to make a statement with your nails this fall, here are four stunning matte nail art looks you need to try: Golden Apricot, Tortie Mix, Chrome Forest, and Chalk Lines.
1. Golden Apricot: A Warm, Radiant Glow
Autumn is all about warm, earthy tones, and Golden Apricot captures this perfectly. This look combines soft, peachy hues with a touch of golden shimmer, creating a matte finish that's both subtle and sophisticated. The key to nailing this look is to start with a matte apricot base, then add delicate strokes of gold foil or glitter to give your nails that extra autumnal glow.
How to achieve the look:
- Start with a matte apricot base colour we love Bluesky 2 in 1 Matte Colour & Top Gel Polish - LBM04 - Apricot
- Add gold foil accents or a subtle gold shimmer. We love Bluesky Perfect Fine Liner - Gold
- Seal with our Bluesky No Wipe Matte Top Coat to maintain that soft, velvety finish.
2. Tortie Mix: A Playful Twist on the Classic Tortoiseshell
Tortoiseshell patterns are a fall favourite, and Tortie Mix takes this classic design to a whole new level with a matte twist. Instead of the traditional glossy tortoiseshell, this look incorporates a matte finish, making it more modern and edgy
How to achieve the look:
- Apply a brown or black base on alternate nails we love Bluesky Glass Gel Polish - LBG01 - Honey Sweet
- For the tortoiseshell effect, use a mix of brown and amber shades, blending them with a brush to create the iconic pattern. We love mixing Bluesky Glass Gel Polish - LBG02 - Amberina, Bluesky Glass Gel Polish - LBG03 - Volcanic Glow, Bluesky Gel Polish - BLACKPOOL - 80518
- Finish with Bluesky No Wipe Matte Top Coat
3. Chrome Forest: An Enchanted, Metallic Matte Masterpiece
For those who love a bit of drama, Chrome Forest is the perfect autumn matte nail look. This design combines the mysterious allure of deep, forest greens with the modern edge of chrome accents, all softened by a matte finish. The matte background allows the chrome details to stand out without being overpowering, making this look both sophisticated and striking.
How to achieve the look:
- Start with a Nude base, we love Bluesky Gel Polish - STONED ROSE - ND20
- Use a Dark Green to create patterns, we love Bluesky Gel Polish - AW2318 - Dark Humour
- Use Decor Gel to create shapes, then use Gold Chrome Powder dusting off any excess
- Seal with Bluesky No Wipe Matte Top Coat to maintain the matte texture while preserving the metallic shine of the chrome.
4. Chalk Lines: Minimalist and Modern
If you prefer a more minimalist approach, Chalk Lines is the autumn matte nail art look for you. This design is all about clean, crisp lines and a matte finish that mimics the look of chalk on a blackboard. It’s perfect for those who love simplicity with a modern twist.
How to achieve the look:
- Choose a neutral base colour, we love Bluesky Ridge Filler Base Coat - MB09 - Dark Nude Pink
- Use Bluesky Perfect Fine Liner Duo - Black Chalk & White Chalk to create straight or geometric lines
- Seal with Bluesky No Wipe Matte Top Coat to keep the look clean and sophisticated.
