From Hailey Bieber to a Chanel Nail Artist, Everyone's Donning This Rich Fall Manicure

Everyone may be talking about Hailey Bieber’s navy blue nails right now (a very cool choice for fall), but I’m not done swooning over her last buzzy mani moment. What can I say? The beauty mogul drops gem after gem, and I need ample time to give each design its proper due.

Just last month, Bieber posted her fresh set of warm, amber tips (created by none other than her longtime nail artist, Zola Ganzorigt) on Instagram with the caption “ready for fall.” The teddy-brown hue definitely evokes the start of cozy season—I can practically smell the cinnamon through my screen!—but the yellow-orange undertones make it an even trendier choice for fall. Think pumpkin spice over hot cocoa.

Any polish that graces the hands of Mrs. Bieber is bound to go viral, but then I saw celebrity manicurist and Chanel nail artist Betina Goldstein also sporting amber tips—and now I know the color has become a fall staple. Just yesterday, Goldstein posted an Instagram tutorial for her “tortoiseshell nails with black micro-French tips.” The base? A warm, honey-drenched amber. She used a darker shade of brown to create the scattered swirls in the tortoiseshell print, but I can’t stop looking at the jelly amber base so similar to Bieber’s.

“I used a mix of gel polishes,” Goldstein writes in the caption. While we don’t know exactly which shades she used, I’d wager they come from this set of six jelly brown hues Goldstein features in her Amazon storefront. Similarly, Ganzorigt says she “mixed five different colors” for Bieber’s amber mani, so it may take a blend of two or three polishes to achieve that rich, amber finish. This makes sense, when you think about it. Amber, after all, is an amalgamation of brown, gold, orange, and red—not unlike fall foliage.
