With nail trends taking centre stage on the AW24 runways, the possibilities for at-home manicures have never been more exciting. Thanks to the Mylee UV gel nail kit and its impressive range of over 325 shades, getting runway-worthy nails at home is easier than ever. After sifting through the endless options, we settled on a few must-have shades, and the result? Everyone thought we'd been to the salon—yet these nails not only looked fabulous but also endured a two-week holiday in Mexico!
Here’s why these colours are perfect for the winter season and how they pair with the hottest catwalk trends:
White – Seen on runways like Valentino and Jil Sander, the clean, minimalist all-white nail is having a major moment.
White nails add a touch of modern chicness, perfect for colder months when crisp lines and sleek tones dominate fashion. Paired with Mylee’s white French Manicure or Break The Ice UV gel polish, you’ll achieve that runway-fresh look that screams understated elegance—ideal for a neutral, pared-back manicure that suits any outfit.
Without a Stitch – This nude shade captures the essence of neutral tones that featured heavily on the runways of Max Mara and Bottega Veneta. Nude nails continue to be a sophisticated staple, and Without a Stitch gives that barely-there finish that works with anything, from chunky knits to sleek eveningwear. This is a go-to shade for a polished look that lasts.

French Cancan – The French manicure has been reimagined for AW24, with many designers playing with classic French tips and adding bold twists. French Cancan taps into this trend perfectly, offering a soft, creamy base versatile enough for a chic update on the French mani. Use it to recreate the elegant tip designs seen on runways from Chanel to Victoria Beckham—timeless yet modern.
Birth of Venus – For those who want a little more intrigue, Birth of Venus offers a romantic, dusty rose shade that reflects the natural, flushed tones seen at the shows of designers like Simone Rocha. This shade is ideal for soft, feminine looks that bring warmth to winter outfits. It's subtle, elegant, and a perfect alternative to bold reds.

Disrobed – A muted mauve, Disrobed is perfect for tapping into the soft-goth aesthetic dominating the season. Think Marc Jacobs or Balenciaga, where dark, moody shades are balanced with softness. This gel polish gives you a moody, winter vibe without going too dark, keeping things cool yet wearable for every day.
Sea Shell – A pearlescent hue reminiscent of natural elements, Sea Shell mirrors the shimmer and soft glow seen on nails from the likes of JW Anderson. This shade is great for an ethereal look, adding a subtle sheen that catches the light, perfect for holiday season glam.

In the Buff – Taking inspiration from the natural tones of Fendi and Hermes, In the Buff is the ultimate neutral. It’s soft, versatile, and gives that "your nails but better" finish. This nude polish is great for those who love a minimalist yet sophisticated look—just like the models who walked in all-neutral outfits with clean, polished nails.

Mylee Heart of Confetti – For those who like a little sparkle, Heart of Confetti is the playful, party-ready polish you need. Much like the glittering embellishments seen on the AW24 catwalks of Moschino, this confetti polish adds a fun, celebratory feel to any look. Ideal for New Year’s Eve or any festive occasion, this shade lets you bring some runway-inspired fun to your at-home manicure.
