After months of adorable, garden-inspired manicures from celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber, Zendaya’s flowery nails are the most recent version of the summer 2024 trend. Her neutral mani dotted with flowers, tiny bees and ladybugs is the perfect casual summer look, with an added dose of fun. But when August ends, how can you keep this cute trend going for fall?

While these garden-inspired nails are generally centered on summer flowers, insects, and farmer’s market finds, you can definitely revamp the trend for the autumn months. The foundation of the manicure is a neutral nail, with a nude, light pink, or honey-colored base. Zendaya and Jenner’s manicures also included French tips, with Zendaya opting for a micro version of the classic, while Jenner mixed it up with pastel green instead of traditional white.

As far as nail graphics go, artists leaned into the muted pastels popular in summer 2024, occasionally bringing in a bright pink or green for sunshiny vibes. An easy way to transition this manicure into autumn is to simply rely more on fall nail colors like burnt orange or copper. But whatever your garden looks like, we’ve got all the inspo you need for a trendy fall manicure!

Go full vegetable garden

While summer is the season of strawberries, peaches, and watermelon, autumn is more about veggies like broccoli, carrots, and squash. To bring the garden nail trend into fall, ditch nail art based on colorful fruits and embrace quirky images of your favorite market vegetables. If you favor flowers, consider recreating your cold-weather favorites like sunflowers or marigolds in miniature.

Add gold glitter to autumn leaf nails

One of the most distinctive autumn sights is falling leaves, whether they’re brown, red, or gold. Luckily, autumn leaves fit perfectly into the flora-and-fauna theme of garden-inspired manicures. Any autumn leaf nail art will work as an eye-catching twist on this trend, but if you really love something shiny, consider using metallic nail stickers and gold glitter accents. You can even use gold leaf if you want to go the extra mile.

Go with gourds for seasonal fall nails

Everyone loves pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. So since pumpkins and other gourds like butternut, acorn, and spaghetti squash are favorites on the dinner table, why not show them a little extra love on your nails? This watercolor-style gourd manicure keeps to the garden trend, but uses some extra fun, out-of-the-box nail art.

Add solid accent nails to your fall mani

If you’d rather stick to pumpkins and fall foliage, try adding solid-color accent nails to make the garden-mani trend more suitable for cold weather. You can use classic fall colors like orange or gold, or go even darker with a black, burgundy, brown, or forest green (for a more cottagecore look). Anything earth-toned will be a good addition to your nail garden.

Give pumpkin nails some halloween flair

If you’re a fan of Halloween, consider adding some thematic nail art to your pumpkin manicure. Ghosts, ghouls, and other eerie creatures make fun additions to any fall manicure, especially one that evokes pumpkin carving and spooky season. Take it one step further with magical witchy detailing, cobwebs, or black tips, all staples of the subtle Halloween manicure.
