The 6 Nail Colors Defining 2026 According to Experts

Experts predict that six specific shades will dominate nail trends in 2026: amethyst, a deep purple that adds a mysterious elegance; chocolate brown, expected to become the new black; ocean blue, a clean and refreshing blue for statement nails; mauve, a soft yet sophisticated shade ideal for everyday manicures; pinky sheers, transparent pinks for a natural glow; and peachy neutrals, warm and subtle shades that brighten the hands. These trends are characterized by refined shades that offer elegance and modern style without excess. The suggested colors are suitable for various nail lengths and can be combined with different finishes, such as glossy, velvet, or chrome. Chocolate brown, in particular, is expected to replace black as the most popular shade, offering a warm and timeless option. Peachy neutral shades, on the other hand, are ideal for all seasons, adding freshness and brightness to the hands.
