We've spoken to leading nail experts to find out what's proving popular in Saudi’s most popular salons right now, the colours and designs worth trying and which trends are set to take over come autumn.

Think sheer nudes, glossy finishes and subtle micro-French tips for nails that look chic and work with any outfit, in any season. > [View this post on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/DT0FwLnkYhz/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading)[A post shared by BASE & BOON | Salon in Riyadh, SA (@baseandboon)](https://www.instagram.com/p/DT0FwLnkYhz/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) ## The Feminine Nail Art Tiny florals and whimsical designs are another easy way to bring some personality to your manicure without being too loud. Think delicate flowers dotted across a sheer base, a single crystal bloom on each nail or soft peach paired with tiny white petals. “Clients are still asking for nail art, French variations, tiny florals, delicate bows, abstract details, and small chrome accents,” Clara Murambiwa from Treat Salon tells us. She adds that “a lot of clients prefer having one or two statement nails rather than detailed art on every nail.” Sally Soheili, founder of [So](https://www.instagram.com/so.dubai/?hl=en), is seeing a similar shift towards more delicate designs: “Nail art is still very popular, but generally it's quite delicate now. We get lots of requests for micro or coloured French tips, tiny florals, dots, chrome details and little 3D accents.” The trend has also been spotted on pop star Dua Lipa**,** who has showcased a variety of floral manicures throughout the summer, all created by her go-to manicurist Michelle Humphrey**.** > [View this post on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/C694y-ePp3w/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading)[A post shared by Betina R. Goldstein (@betina\_goldstein)](https://www.instagram.com/p/C694y-ePp3w/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) ## The Colourful French For those who want something a little more playful, colourful French tips are having a moment. From pastels to neon, swapping a classic white tip for a colourful shade is an easy way to experiment without committing to a full-on colour. “We’re also seeing more playful colours like butter yellow, baby blue, and soft lilac,” says nail technician Clara Murambiwa, while noting that “French variations” are among the nail-art styles clients are requesting most. > [View this post on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/DWrPiWajL2v/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading)[A post shared by Mateja Novakovic (@matejanova)](https://www.instagram.com/p/DWrPiWajL2v/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) ### What's Coming For Autumn? If you're already thinking ahead to your next appointment, expect the palette to get deeper and moodier come September. “For Fall, I think we’ll see lots of deep wine and burgundy, chocolate brown, olive green and warmer earthy shades. Cat-eye and chrome will probably move into those darker, richer colours too.” Explains SO founder, Sally Soheili, who has salons across Dubai and Riyadh. *Follow* [@TREAT.SALON](https://www.instagram.com/treat.salon/?hl=en) & [@SO.DUBAI](https://www.instagram.com/so.dubai/?hl=en) [Skip to the rest of this article](#sidebar-bottom) ##
