Apple Cider Nails: The Trendy Autumn Manicure Everyone Can Try

The beloved pumpkin spice latte may dominate the autumn drink scene and even spark creative manicures, but let’s not forget the underappreciated apple cider, which equally deserves its moment in the sun. Not only is apple cider a delicious beverage for those crisp fall days, but the trend of apple cider-inspired nails is also taking the beauty world by storm, introducing a vibrant seasonal hue that is accessible to everyone looking to embrace the essence of fall.

The term “apple cider nails” was popularized when the talented Selena Gomez, alongside her manicurist Tom Bachik, showcased a warm, transitional shade of red-orange that they aptly named apple cider nails. This eye-catching hue captures the spirit of the season while offering a sophisticated twist, blending both playful warmth and earthy undertones.

The trend swiftly gained traction among beauty enthusiasts as the go-to choice for individuals wishing to immerse themselves in the rich ambiance of autumn. “Apple cider nails are trending right now because they perfectly capture the warm and cozy vibes of fall. The shades used work beautifully with fall palettes,” notes nail expert Mazz Hanna, the CEO of Nailing Hollywood.

Below is everything you need to know about this trending seasonal manicure, including expert tips on how to create your own stunning apple cider nails at home.

What Are Apple Cider Nails?

What Makes Apple Cider Nails Different From Other Fall Colors?

Unlike the more vibrant pumpkin spice nails that lean toward the brighter orange spectrum, apple cider nails feature a deeper brown or caramel base that brings depth and richness to your manicure. While many fall browns might feel flat, apple cider nails exude a multidimensional quality that enhances their overall appeal.

Experimenting with various shades can yield delightful results; however, apple cider nails are characterized by their warm undertones that distinguish them from other browns. “Unlike a cooler-toned chocolate or espresso browns, apple cider shades tend to have amber or cinnamon undertones that add a cozy glow,” emphasizes Hanna, perfectly echoing the welcoming sentiments of the fall season.

Who Can Try Apple Cider Nails?

In a word, anyone can showcase this trendy look. “Apple cider nails can look stunning on any skin tone. The key is to select a shade that complements your undertone. Golden-based hues bring out the glow in warm or olive complexions, while deeper, richer shades beautifully enhance cooler undertones,” Hanna explains. “You also don’t need to have long nails to try this trend. These types of colors are beautiful on any nail shape or length, but I especially love them on short, rounded nails, where the soft curves really complement the warmth of the shade.”

How Do You Create Apple Cider Nails?

This is one nail trend that really couldn’t be easier to achieve at home. You can opt for a single color that embodies the essence of apple cider; look for warm-toned caramel shades infused with hints of golden or amber.

Apple cider hues also lend themselves beautifully to autumn-themed nail art: “Work the shade into a French, use as a topper, or add into some fall-inspired, more intricate designs,” advises Meesh, allowing for creativity and personal expression through your manicure.
