A softer shade of brown.
Walnut, espresso and a trace of ivory. Six ways to give an autumn neutral a little more depth.
We begin with the familiar: the colour of coffee, a warm cardigan, a quiet afternoon. Tortoiseshell, daisies and fine paisley offer three different ways to make a brown manicure worth a second look.
Walnut Deco Fans
Fine ivory fan shapes open across walnut, balanced by two quieter neighbours.
Espresso Daisies
Small cream daisies and dots bring a playful detail to espresso and ivory.
Mocha Paisley
Ivory dots and cocoa paisley shapes sit over a soft mocha base.
Oak Leaf Copper
Copper-coloured oak leaves float across a pale nude base with a few tiny dots.
Cream Cable Sketch
Cream and oat cable-knit drawings alternate with finely outlined ivory nails.
A warm brown palette connects the six designs, while each gives the drawing a different rhythm. Tortoiseshell makes an irregular patchwork; a tiny daisy is playful; ivory fans and cable-knit lines add structure. Choose the motif that feels most like you.
