Olive Green

A perfect blend of earthy and sophisticated, olive green is a nail color that resurfaces in the spotlight every few years to remind us how beautifully it complements a fall wardrobe. Try Essie’s Willow In The Wind for an on-trend, grounded look.

Ripe Grape

Ripe grape is the perfect shade for those who are looking for something close to but slightly different than fall's classic burgundy. Perfectly deep and sultry, this beautiful hue offers a luxurious blend of purple with rich red undertones and exudes elegance and warmth, making it an ideal choice for the season's moody, sophisticated aesthetic. Try Sally Hansen's Beet, Pray, Love for a striking grape-toned manicure this coming fall.

Cherry Red

An absolute fall classic, the cherry red is a bright yet rich hue that adds a pop of bold color without straying too far from the season's cozy feel. OPI Malaga Wine is a timeless choice for those who want a fun yet sophisticated look.

Wine Red

Deep and sultry, wine-red shades like Chanel Rouge Noir capture the moody, luxurious feel of the season. Perfect for cozying up with a good book and a glass of Merlot.

Chrome

With its futuristic look, the chrome nail is a popular summer style that can be tweaked to smooth the transition into fall. Try out Le Mini Macaron's Glazed Chrome Set for this stunning effect.

Midnight Blue

Dark, moody, and effortlessly chic, midnight blue nail colors like Essie's After School Boy Blazer provide a sleek alternative to black while still being seasonally appropriate.

Dusty Rose

Soft, feminine, and cool, dusty rose is the perfect muted pastel for fall. OPI Just Lanai-ing Around offers just the right hint of purple, reminiscent of chill autumn mornings.

Burnt Orange

Channel autumn leaves with a warm burnt orange like OPI's Suzi Needs a Loch-Smith. It’s the perfect nod to pumpkin spice season and cozy fall activities.

Copper

Metallic copper will add a touch of glam while keeping things earthy, and Essie Penny Talk is the perfect way to deliver a smokey, vintage gold-brown that will glow softly on your nails.

Charcoal Grey

Whether you're dressing up or keeping it casual, opt for a shade of grey to evoke a sleek, minimalist vibe that's still cool enough for the cozy fall season. Try JINsoon's Grace for that perfect grey tone with a modern edge.

Mahogany

A dark, warm brown with hints of red and mahogany, like Oud Mood by Londontown, is perfect for those who want something classic and bold yet understated and trendy. Pair this color with your chunky gold rings for added glam.

Fawn

Subdued but autumnal, fawn brown nails like J. Hannah's Fauna evoke the warmth of fall foliage and golden hour light, adding a cheerful touch to your nail game.
