Fall nail colors

Let’s forget about the pastel-colored nails and neon French manicures that have swept through the summer. With the arrival of the new autumn season, the colors that will drive us crazy range from terracotta to burgundy, which we will see intensify, also waiting for the black that returns with force.

Every year the trends in nail colors are renewed, so we tell you what is coming for this season. Compared to last year’s autumn-winter colors, which were more sober and earth-hued, this season’s colors are more energizing. As you already know, the last three months of the year are regularly located by the shades of reddish, orange, brown, white, pale yellow and ochre, dark green, and more; colors that we regularly appreciate in each landscape that nature gives us with the change of season.

A real hit this autumn is the burnt orange – a rather stunning medium to a dark shade of orange that is really reminiscent of flames. This nuance has another advantage: it can be combined with most other colors. So you can quickly create an elegant autumn outfit. The compliments are guaranteed!

8. Milky White Nails

Soft, creamy whites or barely-there sheer pinks bring a fresh, chic minimalism to the season. These understated hues act like a “plain white tee”—effortless, elegant, and adaptable—especially fitting for minimalist or early-fall layering styles

9. Purple Presence

If you’re looking for another darker nail polish color, you can dye your nails purple. Dark purple nails with ombre design or with other patterns will bring you the perfect autumn atmosphere and warmth. Fresh and not too gloomy, the nail polish by Nailberry “L’Oxygéné Serenity” is.
