Neutral Nails for 2024

Get ready to paint the town beige because neutral nails are stealing the spotlight at New York Fashion Week (NYFW) – and leading the charge is none other than CND. As we bid farewell to the bold and experimental colour palettes of 2023, there’s a noticeable shift towards elegant and timeless nails this year.  

Reflecting on the evolving nail trend landscape, CND Co-Founder Jan Arnold shared her insights: “2023 was a year filled with experimental colours and over-the-top designs. In 2024, we will still see many bright, playful hues/patterns taking centre stage, but there’s a noticeable trend with neutrals too – especially with a twist; think mini rhinestones or pearls delicately floating above the cuticles, added iridescence and shimmer, or unconventional French designs,”  

In line with this trend, we are not surprised to see neutral nails gracing the runaways at NYFW, including this manicure for Marc Jacobs’s Fall 2024 Runaway Show! Lead Nail Artist Jin Soon created an unexpected opaque, neutral glossy nail using CND™ Shellac™ Long Wear Polish in Bare Chemise, Field Fox or Satin Pajamas to create the perfect barley-there nails.
