Just in case you were wondering which autumn nail shade to go for next, it's dark green – according to Pinterest which has seen a 75 percent surge in users searching for “dark green nails” and "acrylic nails green" (also up 55 percent).

There's one shade in particular that we keep seeing crop up on the pages of Harriet Westmoreland (the celebrity manicurist behind Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's immaculate nails) and luxury nail artist, Julia Diogo. Biosculpture's gel polish in Free Lovin in the most stunning hunter green, which is so dark and vampy that it appears almost black in certain lights.
