By Michael Van de Put · Diretor Criativo na ProNails · 28 Julho 2026

A cada estação, reúno-me com a equipa para analisarmos as tendências atuais na moda, cosmética, salões e nas redes sociais. Aqui estão as oito tendências de unhas que recomendo a todos os profissionais da área para o outono-inverno de 2026-2027. Algumas já são previsíveis, enquanto outras podem surpreender. Este é o guia completo das tendências de unhas para o outono-inverno 2026-2027, incluindo cores, acabamentos e técnicas que todos os profissionais devem ter em stock antes do início da temporada.

O luxo discreto nas unhas não é novidade. O que é inovador é o clima que o acompanha. Neste inverno, a paleta de cores do luxo discreto nas unhas aprofunda-se e torna-se mais sóbria: couro envelhecido, renda, pele sintética, denim escuro e cremes intensos iluminados por velas.

On the nail, that becomes warm chestnut and espresso browns, atmospheric grey-blues, and off-whites with the softness of old lace. The pale, polished clean-girl nude has put on a coat. This is quiet luxury with weight and history. A winter nail trend for clients who dress with intention and want their hands to match the rest of the wardrobe.

"The pale, polished clean-girl nude has put on a coat."

After years of clean-girl restraint, bold colour is coming back everywhere. Lipstick is loud again. Eyeshadow is saturated. Trend watchers are calling 2026 the comeback for colour cosmetics and expressive colour in general and nails are right there with them.

Reds that mean business. Plums with full presence. A fuchsia that turns the room around. This is power dressing on the hand. The pendulum has swung, and the women who stopped wearing colour are reaching for it again. Stock the reds. Trust me.

Cat-eye nails are back, but not as you knew them. The new generation of velvet cat-eye is ultra-fine, deeply pigmented, and works as a full colour on its own not just a finish on top. Velvet, not mirror. Tactile, not flashy.

Combine one velvet cat-eye nail with seasonal trend shades across the rest of the hand and you've got a manicure that photographs like nothing else. This is the premium upsell of the season.

Forget festive sparkle. This season's glitter nails are serious, moody and deeply pigmented black, bordeaux and brown, fine as dust and deep as velvet. Worn as a full colour, one nail at a time, alongside the season's reds, plums and browns.

Glitter has finally grown up, and this winter glitter nail trend is wearable seven days a week.

The most postable nail trend of the year. It started with jelly nails a few seasons back, evolved through translucent gel finishes, and has now landed in proper sculptural territory: Baccarat nails. The reference is Baccarat crystal, the iconic French maison known for hand-cut, vertically ribbed glassware that has been catching candlelight since 1764.

On the nail, that translates into a 3D ribbed-glass effect with the same architectural rhythm and the same light-catching depth. The pro move: build the ribbed structure over a velvet cat-eye base in a deep tone like burgundy or charcoal. The cat-eye's directional shimmer reads through the glass, and the result is genuinely cinematic.

"Light moves through it. The camera loves it. Your client will rebook before she leaves the chair."

The clean-girl manicure isn't going anywhere, it's just getting smarter. The new generation of all-in-one nude gels does the work of base, builder, extension, gloss and colour in a single product. Skin-flattering nudes with beigey winter undertones, applied in one efficient service.

This is quiet luxury in a bottle, better for your client and better for your appointment book.
