Whether or not you dread the end of summer, there’s no doubt about it: fall is quickly approaching, and with it, new nail trends that will match your stylish fall wardrobe. Get to know your new seasonal obsessions with this roundup of the latest and most popular fall 2023 nail trends seen on Instagram and throughout fashion week.

Ah, fall. There’s something magical about cooler weather, golden leaves, and, at least for us beauty lovers, seasonal nail art.

An intense wine or a classic French will never go out of style, but it’s not a bad time to opt for unexpected fall nail trends. This year, our summery shades of bright orange are getting darker, our reds are getting bolder, and we’re loving moody forest tones. Also in trend? Fun takes on French manis, inventive uses of negative space, and lots and lots of chrome polish . But don’t worry if you’re more of a traditionalist: there are still plenty of solid neutral trends but nothing boring as temperatures cool down (a bit) too.

I’m not sure if anyone has noticed this before, but fall is a prime time to throw on a sweater. A great fall manicure to accentuate your neutral-toned minimalist wardrobe is this cute two-tone French manicure.

Like clockwork, some nail polish colors come back to stand out as soon as the weather changes. Simple, sexy, and surprisingly versatile, dark brown is the quintessential nail polish color for fall.

There’s a new It Girl on TikTok.

From wardrobe essentials in a neutral palette to makeup must-haves that pull off a barely-there look, scented candles, and cozy bedding, the vanilla girls trend shows that vanilla doesn’t always have to be boring. For a manicure that looks expensive and elevated, try adding a white or cream nail lacquer to your nail polish collection.

I’m partial to this pink version, but I’ve also got my eye on aqua blue and deep red hues.
