# Fall-Ready Plaid Nails This Stamped Plaid Manicure Looks Like a Cozy Fall Sweater By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-09-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plaid-nails References: [instagram](https://instagram.com/sallyop/) & [moyou](http://www.moyou.co.uk/plates/view-all/hipster-collection.html) Plaid nails are perfect for fall, mimicking the patterns of [cozy wool sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cabin-flannel) and snuggly scarves. This plaid manicure was created using a Moyou plaid nails plate from the Hipster collection. Nail plates can be used to create intricate patterns -- like these plaid nails -- that could never be replicated by hand. By simply filling the grooves in the patterned plates with nail polish, then using a special plate stamp to lift the polish out of the plate and onto the nail, nail polish enthusiasts can create detailed designs that surpass even salon manicures. These plaid nails can be replicated at home with the use of a [nail plate kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sally-hansen-nail-edit). The quirky, cute fall pattern is sure to be a hit in all kinds of weather. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Plaid Nails:** Plaid nails are a trendy fall manicure design that mimics the patterns of cozy wool sweaters and scarves. - **Nail Plates:** Nail plates offer a disruptive innovation opportunity for the nail industry as they allow for the creation of intricate patterns that surpass salon manicures. - **Home Nail Art:** The rise of home nail art kits presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the beauty industry as consumers can replicate professional-looking designs at home. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Nail Industry:** The nail industry can capitalize on the trend of plaid nails and offer more nail plate designs to cater to consumer demand. - **Beauty Industry:** The beauty industry can explore the potential of home nail art kits that allow consumers to create salon-quality designs without going to a salon. - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can collaborate with nail polish brands to create cohesive collections that match popular fashion trends like plaid. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Fashion Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prabal-gurung-x-kiss.md) - [Spooky Nail Polish Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scream-on-halloween.md) - [Supermarket-Inspired Nail Art Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festival-inspired-nail-art.md) - [Color-In Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipzy.md) - [Holiday-Ready Reusable Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facile-nail.md) - [QSR-Inspired Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-collection.md) - [Peel-and-Apply Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-strips.md) - [Iced Tea-Inspired Manicures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arizona-x-impress.md) - [Fast Food-Inspired Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nails-inc-x-mcdonalds.md)
