New York City-based nail artist Elle Gerstein has a theory that the rise in dark cherry nails is in part due to its popularity in fashion accessories.
“We’re seeing a lot of celebs accessorize with dark cherry bags and shoes,” says Gerstein. “It’s a great accessory color because it complements so many other colors.” Imagine how elegant a dark cherry manicure will look against that new designer bag you got for Christmas.
While a straight-up cherry manicure (like the one above) is always an excellent option, nail experts predict dark cherry will also be incorporated into classic nail designs, resulting in manicures like a dark cherry French and dark cherry ombré. You’re likely to see dark cherry paired with various shades of pink and black, depending on how moody you want to get. The shade also plays well with flashier nail art, like marble and cat eye. All that’s to say: There’s truly a dark cherry manicure for everyone. Ahead, browse some of our favorite takes on the trend.
