"So Beautiful—Like Candlelight": Celebrity Nail Technicians Are Obsessed with Toasted Nails This Autumn
When I envision fall manicures (as one often does), I typically imagine something dark and moody—a deep burgundy, perhaps, a warm brown, or even a bold onyx. Maybe a mystical purple if I’m in a particularly enchanted mood. While warmer shades can feel more summery, celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik advises that we shouldn’t overlook golden-hour colors as the weather cools down. He asserts that “toasted nails” are set to be a major trend this autumn, a sentiment echoed by other celebrity manicurists.
Margot Robbie's toasted nails were designed by Tom Bachik. So, what exactly are toasted nails? In simple terms, it's a neutral manicure enhanced with layers of light-reflective effects to produce a “toasted” finish. “The secret to this style is utilizing any nude polish with golden-hour tones, such as pink iridescence and radiant satin or chrome effects,” Bachik elaborates on Instagram. These luminous layers elevate classic nude shades while maintaining an elegant and understated look—a harmony that will surely please fans of neutral nails. It appears that Selena Gomez also embraces toasted manicures for the fall; Bachik, her longtime manicurist, recently used Essie's Liquid Sunrise to give her nails that warm iridescent vibe. Margot Robbie showcases a champagne-toned version in Bachik's nostalgic post above—still warm and shimmery, just with fewer rosy undertones. Nonetheless, it's not just Bachik’s A-list clientele who are sporting this trend; celebrity nail artist Julie Kandalec has also endorsed this emerging fall manicure, demonstrating the trend's staying power. "This is so beautiful—like candlelight. I did this on a bride last night!" she commented on Bachik’s Instagram video.
To achieve toasted nails, Bachik suggests beginning with a clean and well-prepared base. "I love the [Tweezerman] Pushy and Nail Cleaner and the Rockhard Cuticle Nippers for precise cuticle work, and I use the Stainless Steel Fingernail Clippers and the Professional Nail Files for the perfect shape," he mentions in a release. After setting your manicure, apply your chosen neutral polish, let it dry, and then layer on a coat of golden-hour tones (similar to the Essie shade he used on Gomez). Finish with a shiny top coat, like Bachik's Click Colors in Super Clear, to amplify the glossy effect. "Complete the look with your favorite cuticle oil, and voila!" he writes. Set aside everything you know about fall nail shades—and you'll find me sporting this warm, candlelit hue throughout the season.
