Daisies, but make them fall with a warm color palette of orange and yellow. The simple, colorful french tips against pale pink (or even naked) nail beds help keep the nail art from looking busy.nailed_byemily
Mushrooms may be ancient but they’re popping up in everything from cocktail glasses to textiles and now manicures. This mushroom swirl custom nail art is so detailed with its rich fall browns, burgundies, and dusty pink designs.@hoclouisville
Orange is the unofficial color of autumn, and amber is also the gemstone for November birthdays, so these shiny and detailed amber-inspired nails hit all the right notes for gorgeous fall nails.@dip_tasha_dip
Maybe florals for fall is actually kind of groundbreaking. This mani works so well for because of the gorgeous darker autumn color palette, and because the intricate florals really pop against a squared off neutral base.@nailsbykarisfiedler
Having trouble choosing an autumnal nail polish shade? Opt for three earthy tones that look beautiful together. Chocolatey brown is always a good choice for fall, especially when paired with a milky tan and a deep evergreen. Shutterstock
Bust out the rusts, browns, and more muted tones for fall. This gel manicure uses the same three colors (reddish orange, neutral pink, and light blue) to create the cheerful sun and rainbow nail art.@_nailsbyjanessa
Slightly witchy with plenty of fall vibes, these orange and black celestial inspired nails pop. Get this look at a salon or recreate them at home with a dotting tool or a sheet of galaxy-inspired nail stickers.@nails_by_mathou @clubphnx
Matte orange and yellow nails allow the detailed gourds to pop. If creating the plaid pattern is too intimidating, try cutting plaid nail stickers to size and then painting on the pumpkin details. Shutterstock
A rich coffee brown and a ballet pink polish look elegant and classic on an oval nail. We love how the heart is made using negative space (an area where there is no polish).@nailmartusa
To recreate these nails at home, you’ll need a deep burgundy and mustard yellow polish (Lady Luck by Londontown and Lost City by ella + mila are good choices). Paint the leaf nail art starting at outer edge, or make it easy with fall nail strips.mikroman6/Moment/Getty Images
A deep red and some sparkle on long coffin nails is always in style (just don’t do any real raking with these sky high nails). You may need to BYO leaf nail glitter to the salon to nail this look.Shutterstock
Why go for orange and black when you can rock marbled orange and pink nails instead? Opt for a pumpkin orange polish like Suzi Needs A Loch-Smith from OPI or try a burnt sienna like No. 51 from côte.Shutterstock
