Fall Nails 2024: The Must-Have Nail Colors and Manicures for the Cozy Season

October 2024

Fall is here, and with it comes crisp days, warm drinks, and cozy outfits. It’s also the perfect time to (FINALLY!) break out your dark, rich nail polish shades or all those favorite colors that capture the warmth and softness of the season in style. One thing’s for sure, fall nails are all about rich, vibrant hues. Here’s a selection of the shades to rock and some nail art trend suggestions to inspire you!

1. Burgundy and Deep Reds: Classic, but never boring

Deep burgundies and reds are the go-to when the temperatures drop. These shades are a true fall must-have! What we love about them is that they’re always on trend and instantly add a sophisticated touch to any look. If you’re looking to change up the classic red color, opt for a darker shade like burgundy or merlot, which add a chic essence without too much effort. Trust us, with a manicure like this, you’ll be turning heads with every move!

2. Earthy Tones and Nudes: Effortless Chic

If you like your manicures to be understated yet elegant, earthy tones are the color for you. They’re the go-to for a refined, minimalist look. Think beige, taupe, brown, and even a decadent chocolate brown—they literally go with everything! They’re perfect for those who like to keep things subtle while still looking polished. And bonus: They pair perfectly with fall materials like wool knits, cozy scarves, and leather accessories. You can also play around with different finishes to add some variety to your manicure, like going matte or satin with a Top Coat .

3. Burnt Oranges and Coppers: Warming Colors

Nothing says “fall” like a beautiful burnt orange or bright copper, right? If you really want to get into the “pumpkin picking day with a pumpkin latte in hand” vibe, this is definitely your color palette. These hues are reminiscent of golden leaves and seasonal sunsets. They add that little something to your outfit, especially when paired with camel or cream hues. To really make your manicure stand out, trust these colors—they’re your best friends!

4. Midnight blue and slate gray: Boldness is the order of the day

Want a bolder hue this season? Opt for colors like midnight blue or slate gray for a sophisticated yet mysterious look. These colors are perfect if you want to break out of your routine while still staying in the fall spirit. They work just as well for an evening look as they do for adding a little touch of style to a more casual outfit. And as a bonus, they’ll pair beautifully with your favorite black accessories or leather boots!

5. Textured effects: Because you have to have a little fun!

Why settle for a classic polish when you can spice things up with textures? Think metallic, glitter, or even matte finishes, which are all the rage this fall and can transform your manicure in a flash. For an even more striking effect, mix and match textures (e.g., matte and high-shine) on your nails, or apply a metallic polish to a few fingers for a subtle yet eye-catching look. Fun, stylish, what more could you ask for?
