Warm-toned nails are the newest trend; this time, they’re adding lines and different treatments to the neutral polish for more versatility. In the past, neutral nail polish was mainly used as a base color under floral designs or a french manicure. 


Short and square

Short square nails will always trend for girls requiring a shorter length. Short, square nails paired with burnt orange, black, or burgundy color are perfect for any occasion. You can’t go wrong with white-colored short, square nails this season either. White gives a clean, polished look and compliments a fuzzy sweater or leather jacket.
