3 inspirations automne 2025 à créer avec les vernis gel Shellac CND

3 Fall 2025 inspirations to create with CND Shellac gel polishes

Autumn is the perfect season to play with textures, patterns, and rich colors. CND offers three ultra-inspiring looks for Autumn 2025, all achievable with existing Shellac shades. From modern western spirit to romantic gothic gardens, and a chic return of the paisley pattern, get your brushes ready: creativity is in the air!

1. Wild Wild West: the boldness of glam cow print

The cow print is making a strong comeback on the runways, and it’s also appearing on your nails! Seen at Stella McCartney and Chloé, the cow print comes in minimalist or bold versions. For manicures, this style is perfectly suited to all fantasies: French manicure, accent nail, or full look. A perfect look for the next western festival!

Steps for creation:

  1. Apply a coat of White Gloves to the entire nail or selected areas.
  2. With Black Pool and a dotting tool, draw irregular cow-like spots. Cure for 10 seconds per spot, then 60 seconds for all.
  3. Add a few touches of gold leaf for a sophisticated finish.
  4. Option: Layer a thin coat of Decadence over the spots for a brown effect.
  5. Finish with the top coat of your choice.

2. Pretty Little Paisley: the bohemian pattern revisited

The boho spirit is making a big comeback this autumn, with a more refined approach. Paisley patterns are appearing on clothing and also finding their place on our nails, in earthy, warm, and deep shades. An excellent way to extend summer energy into an elegant autumnal version.

Steps for creation:

  1. Apply two coats of Rubble.
  2. With White Gloves, create a paisley pattern by hand or with stamping. Cure.
  3. Layer a thin coat of Decadence to create an elegant "wine" depth.
  4. Apply the Original Top Coat then cure.
  5. Add a stone fixed with Plexigel and seal with the NO-WIPE+ Top Coat.

3. Gothic Garden: black and floral romance

Autumn 2025 also marks the return of dark romanticism. Gothic florals evoke an ancient and mysterious garden, with deep nuances and marked contrasts. Inspired by Givenchy and Carolina Herrera collections, this look offers an elegant and poetic alternative to autumn classics.

Steps for creation:

  1. Apply two coats of Black Pool.
  2. Paint white floral patterns with White Gloves. Cure.
  3. Apply Decadence to the center of the flowers and Denim Patch to the leaves for an ombré gradient effect. Cure.
  4. Add a second coat to intensify the ombrés if necessary, then cure.
  5. Seal with the NO-WIPE+ Top Coat.
  6. Option: Fix a few rhinestones for a subtle jewel effect.
