Dusky Blue To Garnet Noir: The 14 Fall Nail Colors Everyone Will Be Asking For
Key Takeaway
There’s something about September that makes reinvention feel inevitable. Maybe it’s a closet clear-out, chopping off those summer split ends, or, more simply, swapping your go-to nail color for something new.
There’s something about September that makes reinvention feel inevitable. Maybe it’s a closet clear-out, chopping off those summer split ends, or, more simply, swapping your go-to nail color for something new.
And as the first hint of chill sets in, so does the urge to embrace something a little moodier. The pretty pastels and punchy neons of summer suddenly feel less appealing, making way for rich cobalt blue, deep oxblood, and high-shine chrome. Consider us ready.
Ahead, find the fall nail colors set to be everywhere this season, whether you prefer a barely-there manicure or a shade that gets people talking.
Chocolate Fudge
Manicurist Dian Mitchell makes a case for chocolate fudge, a soft, earthy brown that doesn’t compromise on gloss. Try Essie Nail Lacquer in Crochet Away and finish with a top coat for that high-shine effect.
Glossy Croc
Julia Diogo aka @paintedbyjools departs from her signature bright shades with this dark green hue — but it’s just as elevated. If you’re doing your nails at home, you’ll love Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel Nail Polish in Leaf Me Be.
Dusky Blue
Cobalt blue is timeless, but there’s something about this dusky blue hue that gets our vote for fall — particularly on shorter nails. Nail polish enthusiast Taylor used OPI x Supergirl Nail Lacquer in Up Up and Ablaze.
Muted Pink
For those who wear pink all year round but want something a little more autumnal, try this toned-down version, as seen on @isionails, using ILNP Nail Polish in Blossom.
Baked Terracotta
Manicurist Raquel Bueno ushers in pumpkin spice season with this ultra-glossy terracotta shade, which looks gorgeous on all skin tones. Essie’s Bed Rock & Roll is a perfect match.
Berry Jelly
Sheer jelly shades aren’t just for summer, as Taylor proves here with this deeper, juicy hue, layered up for a more opaque finish. Manucurist’s Green Jelly Nail Polish collection boasts five berry-inspired shades.
Hunter Green
Details
After summer’s brights, Gabriela Santiago’s dark green set feels as refreshing as a hike in a nature reserve. OPI’s Nail Lacquer in Stay Off the Lawn! is very close.
Garnet Noir
Come rain or shine, Garnet Noir — as seen on nail educator Ingrid Graham’s feed here — is one of Bio Sculpture’s most requested shades, but this rich oxblood hue feels especially fitting for fall.
Frosted Rose
If you prefer pared-back nudes but want to give them a fall-appropriate spin, consider a frostier hue like this one posted to Instagram by Julia Diogo. Try Bio Sculpture’s Rose for a similar effect.
Fire Hydrant Red
Natural nail specialist Lois Samantha proves that blue-toned reds will always have a special place in fall manicures. This is The GelBottle Inc.’s Royal Stamp, but you can’t go wrong with OPI’s Big Apple Red if you’re polishing at home.
Army Green
Mikayla Vallati’s set takes inspiration from the camo capris that are everywhere right now — and we’re obsessed. Essie’s Willow in the Wind is a close match.
Molten Silver
It’s all or nothing with this full chrome set by filed., and while gold and silver accents work year-round, there’s something about fall that makes silver feel especially right. We’d recommend paying a visit to your local nail tech for something similar, but if you want to give it a try at home, it has to be Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Chrome Nail Polish in Polar Platinum.
Chocolate Gloss
Naomi’s rich dark brown is reminiscent of melted chocolate, and Zoya’s Nail Lacquer in Ryder is a pretty perfect match. Bonus points for the almond shape.
Mauve Créme
Manicurist Alondra‘s take on the lilac nail trend is slightly more muted, with a deeper purple undertone that creates this moodier mauve. Try one layer of Essie In Pursuit Of Craftiness with a glossy top coat, et voilà.
