“For those who prefer a minimalist look, I’d recommend a classic French manicure with a seasonal twist, such as chocolate brown tips on a sheer nude base”
Autumn Ombré
A gradient of fall colors transitioning from lighter to deeper tones.
“Another beautiful option is using different shades from the same color family across the nails, transitioning from lighter to deeper tones”
Shimmery Mocha
A cat-eye effect with rich color and light creating dimension.
“Cat-eye effects give those rich colors movement and dimension, so the manicure becomes interesting through the finish itself”
Fall Polka Dots
Polka dots in contrasting autumnal hues using a dotting tool.
“Polka dots are yes, chic, but more importantly super easy to DIY if you still want to lean into a low-effort design”
Cat-Eye Tips
Burgundy French tips with a cat-eye effect for dimension.
“Burgundy French tips are another favorite minimalist option of Swan’s, and adding a cat-eye effect gives some dimension to the classic yet seasonal manicure”
Deep Burgundy
Deep burgundy and wine red colors complementing fall wardrobes.
“Deep burgundy and wine red are also beautiful seasonal choices, these colors complement fall wardrobes perfectly and create that cozy autumn feeling”
Creamy Espresso
Warm, rich shades like chocolate brown and espresso for a coffee-inspired look.
“During this time of year, warm, rich shades are especially popular, including chocolate brown, espresso, and caramel”
Pumpkin Pie Aura
A light-to-dark gradient of orange hues for a subtle pumpkin pie look.
“If you want to lean into the theme of the feast, go for this subtle pumpkin pie-coded manicure. Choose two shades of orange and create a light-to dark gradient by blending the hues outwards with a small sponge”
