<\/p>\nYou might not have guessed it, but cherry mocha nails are quickly becoming one of the most talked about nails of the autumn.<\/p>\n
The deep red shade with a coffee-coloured brown tinge has been going viral on TikTok lately, racking up millions of views as people show off their latest trending manicures, but it\u2019s not the colour that\u2019s got people talking \u2013 it\u2019s the name.<\/p>\n
Cherry mocha nails actually come from DnD\u2019s Cherry Mocha Polish,<\/b> \u00a38.50 here<\/u><\/b>,<\/b> which has a gorgeous deep red colour with subtle brown and purple tones to it, and the shade is now becoming one of the most sought-after colours to ask for this autumn. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
TikTok videos likethis one from Yodeebs<\/u>have racked up almost 6 million views showing off the shade, although plenty of commenters are all saying the same thing about the colour. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is literally burgundy\u201d said one, whilst another added: \u201cSo burgundy is called cherry mocha now?\u201d However, others jumped to the TikToker's defence, saying: \u201cOmg how are ppl not getting that that\u2019s the name of the polish?! It\u2019s literally on the handle of the brush!\u201d whilst another pointed out: \u201cGuys. She\u2019s calling it cherry mocha Bc that\u2019s quite literally the name of the polish on the bottle. Please relax.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shade name controversy aside, the colour itself is one of the perfect shades for autumn, with a deep scarlet colour that has purple and brown undertones.<\/p>\n

Unlike other manicure trends that require specialist tools or the practised hand of a manicurist to replicate, cherry mocha couldn\u2019t be easier to do yourself at home as they only require one simple colour.<\/p>\n
The coveted Cherry Mocha Polish,<\/b> \u00a38.50 here<\/u><\/b>,<\/b> is a gel-based polish that needs curing under a UV lamp, but for those who don\u2019t have access to a lamp at home, TikTokers have been saying that essie Nail Polish in 44 Bahama Mama,<\/b> \u00a38.50 here<\/u><\/b>,<\/b> is the perfect dupe for the shade with no lamp necessary. <\/p>\n

Unlike more fiddly designs, cherry mocha nails are their best when done as a simple all-over colour that makes a statement, although you can of course mix it up with a more dainty French manicure or add some cherry mocha accents in your manicure.<\/p>\n
If you prefer less of a purple-hued shade, Rimmel Super Gel Nail Polish Venus,<\/b> \u00a34.66 here<\/u> <\/b> (was \u00a36.99),<\/b> has a more coffee-infused colour to it that makes it the perfect autumnal shade. <\/p>\n
Autumn manicures are in full swing, and there\u2019s nothing better than a deep red shade to tie into the season\u2019s signature colours.<\/p>\n
