With November in full swing, rich jewel tones have made a splash in the world of beauty and herald the festive season ahead. Although it’s probably too early to have completed (or even started) your Christmas shopping, there’s no denying that holiday cheer will be in the air soon enough. If you’re looking to embrace the season’s enriched tones in your own beauty regimen, we’ve compiled a few of our favourite nail art looks to embrace now.

Combine dark orange with copper: We love the look of a sumptuous burnt orange or tangerine, as evidenced by this striking Essie manicure. The look features the brand’s Playing Koi rusty orange colour, with the moons accented with Essie’s metallic Penny Talk. Whether you adore metallics or simply want to warm up your nail colour as the temperatures drop, the killer combination of orange and copper is simply foolproof.

Try a vibrant violet shade with shimmer: If you want to feel like a queen without indulging in an expensive designer wardrobe, the look of dark purple can leave you feeling like royalty. To truly bring new life to your fingertips, try painting your nails with a fierce violet shade and then accenting the colour with pink shimmer. This particular OPI manicure includes Rich and Brazilian, with sparkling Sunrise Bedtime used as a top coat.

Polish your nails with a deep emerald tone: Inspired by festive greenery and opulent gems, emerald green is truly all the rage for the season. If you’re heading to a party, try painting your tips with a vivid dark green hue (like this Zoya Wyatt shade). Meanwhile, accenting a couple of fingertips with green shimmer helps to complete your manicure with a dazzling finish.
