Fall shades (think autumnal burgundy, dark purple, hunter green, rich berry shades and copper) will always be a staple for classic autumn manicures. But just because they’ll never go out of style doesn’t mean you have to stick to them alone, and you definitely don’t have to wear only one at a time.
Nail trends for this fall are all about the intersection of subtlety and excess. Think metallic wires glued to sheer nude nails, magnetic gel, and logo nails. In this article, you’ll find unexpected ways to wear both timeless shades and stunning nail art, as well as DIY-friendly designs and more intricate styles that call for a professional.
