12 vampy nail products & designs that channel autumn/winter’s trending aesthetic

Cooler months call for darker shades. Burgundy, mulberry, royal blue and emerald are already everywhere, but this year the palette is going deeper. Trend forecasters are tipping vampy as ‘one to watch’, with black cherry, deep indigo and forest green front and centre.

Inspired by gothic literature, 90s grunge glamour and the mythical creatures that give it its name, the vamp aesthetic is a mesmerising blend of dark romance, sultry sourcery and rebellious edge. Here are 12 gel polish products and 12 nail designs to help recreate the vibe at your fingertips…
