I'm reporting live from my Brooklyn apartment on September 23rd—yesterday was the official first day of fall, and the temperature has a chill to it (I can't contain my excitement!) The end of summer doesn't mean we'll be packing away all our bold colors and prints. Instead, runways and celebrity style alike have encouraged us to bring as much color as possible into the darker and drearier seasons. But cooler temperatures do mean that we're naturally drawn towards cozier, richer hues. And, based on Hailey Bieber's latest manicure, it's safe to say that we're not alone in this.
Nail artist Kim Truong shared Bieber's new taupe manicure—a shade reminiscent of a perfectly spiced chai latte, perfect for a crisp fall day. It’s warmer and fuller than a nude, but softer and cooler than a traditional brown. For Bieber’s quintessentially autumnal nails, Truong used Chaun Legend Nails’ ‘Taupe That Talk’ gel polish.
Although we've been rejecting the entire notion of quiet luxury as of late, this nail trend serves as a reminder that it's not all bad—and leave it to Hailey Bieber to serve us that important reminder. In this case, the quiet luxury manicure is sophisticated and not overly basic, and it's neutral but recognizable.
