Chocolate Cherry Nails: The Deep Red-Brown Shade Both Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lopez Have Signed Off On
A rich seasonal shade
The manicure combines three familiar fall colors: burgundy, chocolate brown and black cherry. Its red-brown tone has attracted attention in Hollywood, with Jennifer Lopez wearing the shade and Anne Hathaway appearing in a similar cherry cocoa manicure earlier this year.
Shapes and finishes to try
Chocolate cherry can be worn as a solid-color manicure, or paired with different nail shapes, finishes and designs. Estrada favors a long, tapered almond shape with a glossy finish, which he says creates a sophisticated look. He also likes the color on square nails, offering another option for anyone who prefers a different silhouette.
Prepare nails for polish
Before applying polish, clean and dry the nails. Estrada advises preparing the nail plate properly and keeping the surrounding skin conditioned. After applying the polish, finish with cuticle oil to hydrate the skin around the nails. Estrada says careful preparation helps polish adhere and last longer, while giving the manicure a more polished appearance.
