Plum Noir is the deepest shade in this year's palette — burgundy with a swirl of velvet brown behind it, closer to a wine reduction than a berry. It reads almost black at arm's length and unmistakably purple in daylight, which is exactly why it works from October through to February.

## Why it works now

The quiet, milky manicures that carried the summer leave a gap once the light drops. A saturated dark fills it without tipping into the flat black that dominated a few winters ago. Plum keeps warmth in the hand.

## How to wear it

Two thin coats on a short almond or squoval shape. Glossy rather than matte — the depth of the colour is the point, and a matte top coat flattens it. On longer nails, a single accent in chrome over the same base picks up the brown undertone.

## Who it suits

Everyone, which is unusual for a dark. Cool skin tones get the burgundy; warm tones pull the brown forward. If you are unsure, hold it against the inside of your wrist in daylight rather than under salon lighting.
