For several months, the trend has been with discreet shades: BB Cream Nails, Rose Water Nails, Milky Manicure… Even Jennifer Aniston was faithful to a French milky manicure. But on August 3, in a video posted on Instagram, the actress of The Morning Show surprised his fans.
A new hybrid shade that breaks nude codes
The season was dominated by neutral tones like BB Cream Nails or Milky Manicure. But Jennifer Aniston wins with a red varnish enriched with a touch of brown, evoking fall elegance without falling into the vampy. The Glamor UK magazine describes this nuance as a deep red with a touch of brown, neither too dark, nor too lively, somewhere between Bordeaux and Poppy Red. An elusive shade that some already call, almost ironically, “”.
This discreet brown red breaks the codes: it attracts the eye without being flashy. He contrasts with the nudes without looking for extravagance. It is precisely this chromatic ambiguity that makes it desirable, especially at the start of the school year where free colors regain their place.
Short nails, natural look: the new standard
What strikes as much as the shade is the form. Exit excessive lengths or complex decorations. Jennifer Aniston opts for a short and rounded cut – a form called “Squoval” – which strengthens the elegance of the gesture. This natural style is also announced as a strong trend of 2025 by the Nail Artist Michelle Humphrey, which points out that long nails pass in the background.
By combining an assertive color with a sober length, the actress delivers a very current vision of femininity: sophisticated but relaxed. This type of manicure works as well with jeans as with a dress dress, which makes it all the more accessible.
