A deep wine or classic navy will never go out of style, but it’s not a bad idea to consider more unexpected fall nail ideas this year. A less conventional approach seems to be the general consensus among beauty influencers and pro nail artists this season.
Also on trend? Playful takes on French manis, earth tones and neutrals with a twist, and even some greens (brat summer lives on, it seems). “Fall will merge nature and science for a versatile duality—think muted earth tones mixed with optimistic bright finishes that evoke a futuristic feel,” says Jan Arnold, CND Co-Founder and nail expert. “The colors we predict will be most popular are apricot-like peachy orange, dark teal, yellow sage, burgundy, and mauve.”
Not into neutrals? There are plenty of options for you. “If I could pick one trend that’s going to be huge, and one trend only, it’d be green nails,” Juli Russell, Sally Beauty DIY nail expert, tells Glamour. She points to aura nails and bold chrome as other trends to watch for. “Aura nails have been the rising star this season and will continue to be shining bright.”
In other words, these aren’t your basic fall nail trends.
