25 Fall Nail Ideas for Your Inner Autumn Enthusiast

Cherry And Vanilla French Nails

Inspired by a Cherry Coke float, the artist used shades Sibylline and Vanilla Latte by H&M Beauty. Pairing the deep burgundy with cream makes the finished look richer, as opposed to the stark contrast of a true white.

Brown And Pink Sparkle Nails

Cranberry Nails

3D Copper Twist Nails

The exposed nail gives a minimal aesthetic, while the 3D shimmery copper twist offers a decadent flair. If you’re simple and extra all at once, give this design a try at your next salon appointment.

Thermal Shimmer Nails

Can you believe that this is actually one shade? Bite Your Tongue by Death Valley Nails is a color-changing polish with shimmer and gold specks. The shade varies by the temperature. Above, it was used to create the illusion of a French tip.

Purple-Gray Nails

If you love shades of gray, you’ll love this purple-gray with a shiny finish. As a dark neutral, this gel mani can carry you through the fall and winter seasons.

Forest Green Nails

Who knew lush forest green could be so chic? The short and precisely square nails elevate the shade, Arugula by Death Valley Nails, even more. If this shade is too bright for your aesthetic but you still want to join the trend, try opting for an olive green polish instead.

Milk Chocolate And Yellow Nails

Butter yellow and milk chocolate brown create a different swirl pattern on each nail. Although none of the patterns are the same, the repeated color combo and swirl theme make the finished look cohesive.

Cinnamon Almond Nails

If you’re looking for a versatile neutral, try playing with spice colors like cinnamon and ginger. It’s festive for the season and gives off subtle luxury.

Dark Brown And Tortoise Nails

Quite contrary to the classic French, but something about this mani is still very mob wife. Everything about it, from the rich brown to the shiny animal print, is overtly maximalist. This mani and a cropped fur is officially our fall uniform.

Bloody Nails

If Halloween is your favorite holiday, this drippy blood mani is right up your alley. Make the drops 3D to add realistic texture. Here, the artist used the shade Wicked by Essie for the perfect bloody hue.

Toasty Gradient Nails

What a beautiful neutral gradient! The brown tips gradually fading into a lighter tan reminds us of lightly toasted marshmallows or almonds. The finished design gives off the perfect cozy fall vibe.

Dark Chocolate Nails

Opulent and decadent, this luxurious deep brown shade is 95 Brun Bistre by Hermès. While you can definitely create festive nail art, the rich polish is a standout all on its own.

Chunky Glitter Nails

If you’re the life of the party, have we got a fall mani for you! Juicy orange nails are made even more lively with a layer of chunky glitter. We especially love how this polish is slightly sheer, letting the natural nail shape shine through.

Magnetic Nails

If you want to go more subtle than glitter chunks, another sparkly option is magnetic nails. This warm taupe is especially stunning with the specks of champagne pigment.

Gold Leaf Abstract Nails

It’s quite impressive how a few gold leaf flakes can take a manicure to new heights. This mani is a work of art with an abstract design and solid brown accent nails.

Ferrari Red Nails

Take the chill off with a fiery red almond-shaped mani! If you find yourself wearing a lot of black, such a bold color can make for a beautiful and sexy contrast.

All Black Nails

Add dimension to a monochromatic look by applying the same shade in different finishes. This black French mani has a matte base and shiny tips, which show off its long square shape.

Building Blobs Nails

To achieve a similar look at home, start with a sandy tan base. Then, on every other nail, create overlapping jewel and earth tone blobs. This isn’t your usual nail art, and that’s what makes it so special!

Swirly Negative Space Nails

Swirls of milky brown polish are trimmed in soft pink, making a gorgeous autumn combination. The secret to achieving a clean negative space design is a little patience and a fine-lining brush.

Mudcloth Nails

This mudcloth set is so immaculately done in a neutral base and fine white designs. The matte finish lets the intricate white designs be the center of attention. Recreate it using a dotting tool and line brush.

Red And Gold French Nails

Red and gold French tips are the remix we didn’t even know we needed. The white stripe breaks up the boldness just a tad, maintaining the lavishness. It is the perfect early hint of holiday that we have all been waiting for.

Marble Nails

Speaking of lavishness, this mani is giving imported marble from Italy. The choice of color is a great blend of browns, from light to dark. While there are a few hacks to try this design at home, this might be a great design to save for your next salon appointment.

Mix And Match Fall Nails

Mixing funky designs with the classics is always a good time. Daisies, checkers, and French tips make a fun and interesting mismatched look.

Duo-Tone French Nails

You couldn’t get any more fall if you tried. Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Red album cover, the artist used Unagi, A Mysterious Affair, Emma, and Lyla from Lights Lacquer; and The Devil Wears Cirque Colors by Cirque Colors.
