Why Mocha Mousse Is the “Must-Try” Shade of 2025

If there’s one manicure trend getting major buzz this season, it’s mocha mousse manis — rich, warm, coffee-inspired tones that strike the balance between bold and wearable. At La Mer Nail Bar, we’re embracing this cozy, luxe shade as a signature look for fall 2025. Below, see how to order it, style it, and make it uniquely yours at La Mer.

• Mocha mousse offers a spectrum ranging from light latte to deep espresso, making it versatile for many skin tones.

• It gives an elegant twist to the neutral palette — it’s not plain beige, but still easy to pair with fall wardrobes.

• The shade complements many finishes, from glossy cream to soft metallic and sheer shimmer.

At La Mer Nail Bar, our nail artists love customizing mocha mousse looks — layering tones, mixing sheens, or adding accent nails — to match individual styles.
