Thermal Nails Are Fall’s Hottest Manicure Trend

Here’s a close-up of Megan’s nails, created by her long-time nail artist Coca Michelle.

Subvert the thermal look with a pastel pink base and baby blue hot spots.

Try switching up the colors on both hands, like this cute grey, black, and white design.

While not as obvious in its design, this manicure with Cirque Colors polish is literally heat reactive– going peach when it’s warm and turning bright orange when it’s cold.

This pointed shape with thermal french tips is the perfect way to put a twist on the original design.

Some would argue that these are aura nails, but the haphazard color placement looks like heat spots to us. Consider this thermal design a simpler way to embrace this trend on a beige or sheer base coat.

This offbeat purple and yellow color palette is an extremely eye-catching way to pull off the thermal trend.

This spooky thermal design on natural nails with a clear base also features adorable ghost designs. It’s a perfect way to adapt the design for Halloween.
