“Chocolate cherry nails are trending because it’s the perfect time of year when deep rich shades are so hot,” he says. “They’re warm and cozy and sexy. It’s a color that also works as a neutral making it so versatile. It makes any look feel fancy, rich, and yummy. I love deep rich colors on nails especially when they have depth dimension and an accentuating undertone making it even more special.”
To get the look, Bachik starts with nail care using Tweezerman Tools. “Using my Pushy and Nail Cleaner along with my Rockhard Cuticle Nipper, cuticles are shaped and perfected. Once nails are prepped and ready for polish, we cleanse the nail and apply base coat,” he says.
As for the color, we’re in luck: Bachik typically creates custom mixes, but found the perfect chocolate cherry shade by Aprés Nails. “With many specialty colors we’ll actually mix shades on the spot to achieve exactly what we’re looking for,” he says. “In this case we found the perfect chocolate cherry color already exists—Blood Moon by Apreś. We applied two coats then adding a high gloss shine with top coat and finishing it all off by rehydrating cuticles and skin, and she was ready to go.”
Blood Moon is currently out of stock, but we found other chocolate cherry nail alternatives below.
