Amber and chocolate swirls that glow like honey.
  • Trendy
  • Refined
  • Warm

You love a trend that looks rich and a little vintage. Tortoiseshell nails swirl amber, caramel and dark chocolate into a pattern that glows like honey in the light, and it is a favorite fall nail inspo because it looks expensive on every skin tone.

Paint a sheer amber base, dab dark brown and caramel shapes on top, then blend with a glossy jelly top coat. Keep the length short or medium and add a gold ring or a thin gold hoop for the full effect. It goes with camel coats, knit sweaters and everything in your fall closet.
