Summer’s over, and while it’s sad to say goodbye to beach days, barbecues, and bikinis, there’s so much to love about fall. Show your love for this season with gorgeous autumn colors and seasonal designs. Now is the time to break out these blues, golds, oranges, and browns. Whether you’re a beginner or a nail art pro, we’ve got some cute fall nail designs for everyone.
Alright, here’s what we’ve picked up for you for this beautiful autumn.
Inspiring Fall Nail Designs
#1: Matte Navy Blue nails
We love this dark matte navy blue. You can recreate this look by using a special mattifying top coat.
#2: Pumpkin Nails
For the short nails
Proclaim your love for everything pumpkin with these adorable pumpkin nails. It goes without saying that such a design goes well for short nails. You’ll need beige and dark brown nail polishes as well as two different orange ones – a darker orange and a lighter orange.
#3: Brown & Gold Geometric Nails
There’s no need to dismiss brown as a nail color; combine it with gold glitter and you’ve got a winning fall nail combination. Throw in a cool geometric design and you’ve got some winning nails on your hands.
#4: Gold & Blue-Gray nail design
These have a different design on each nail yet flow together seamlessly. You’ll need three different polishes: a blue-gray gel or gel-finish polish, a gold glitter polish, and regular gold polish. Use a toothpick or a very small brush to create the arrow and dot design on the index finger. For the middle finger, apply several layers of gold glitter polish until relatively opaque, and for the pinky finger apply a few coats of the blue-grey polish and finish off with a swipe of gold glitter.
#5: Green nails with gold accents
It wouldn’t be a fall nail list without a deep forest green. After applying several coats of green, take your nails to the next level with a few small arrow accents on the ring finger using a small nail art brush. Finish it off with a shiny top coat.
6) Nail design with Wine & Leaves
You’ll love this deep burgundy wine nail look, complete with a gel finish and chunky gold glitter. You only have to do this leaf design on your thumbnail, so why not go for it? Use a gold nail polish for the leaf and a gold glitter polish for the ring finger accent.
7) Turkey Day Nails
Be the envy of all of your family members on Thanksgiving with this beginner-friendly turkey nail art. You can use any red, beige, orange, or yellow you have for the leaves and turkey feathers. Pro tip: dip the end of a paintbrush in black nail polish to get two perfectly circular black dots for the turkey’s eyes!
8) Nails with Horizontal Pink Stripes
While you may have put away your bright pink summer polishes, there’s no need to shun the color entirely. This muted, pinky-purple and pinky beige is just the right color for fall. To get the stripes, you can use tape and a small brush or a stencil.
9) Colorful Leaf Decal Nails
Sometimes you just need to let someone else do it for you. In this case, we mean nail art. Decals are cheap and can create stunning detail otherwise impossible with a paintbrush and polish. Leaf decals are perfect for fall and easy to apply.
10) Nails with Navy and Gold Chunky Glitter
Go for maximum impact with contrasting gold and navy. All you need are a couple of coats of navy polish and just one swipe of gold chunky glitter polish.
11) Nail art with Black and White Spider Webs
This black and white design is spooky and simple. Create a smooth black base and take a fine paintbrush to carefully create three vertical lines. Then, make a “U” shaped line in between your three lines. Let completely dry and finish with a top coat.
12) Nails with Autumnal Stripes
Combine trendy stripes with a seasonal ombre and you’ve got this sparkly fall nail design. To achieve this look, you will need beige for the base and brown, shimmery dark pink or red, and shimmery orange or gold for the stripes. Don’t forget to use tape for precision.
