I’m so ready for fall this year! I’m excited for everything but first here’s some nails I like for this fall
🧡anything orange, but specifically orange chrome! Chrome/pearl nails have been popular for over a year now, but I think it’s still going pretty strong, at least for a few more months
🌻yellow! I love this kind of subtle chrome yellow moment. I feel like yellow hasn’t been the most popular fall color in a while but it might finally be time for it to shine again
🍒cherry red & maroon! Cherry/dark red really had a moment in all aspects of fall fashion last year and I think it’ll continue into this year as well, it’s just so pretty! I personally love maroon as well, and I think it’s coming back into the spotlight
🧵navy blue! Just like yellow, I don’t think dark blue has been a very popular fall color lately but I’ll personally be getting some blue nails this fall
🍄🟫mixed fall color French tips! These are just too cute, especially for those nail days where you’re indecisive on color: just get them all
... Read moreI'm absolutely loving these fall nail inspirations, and honestly, who says these beautiful shades are just for autumn? I've been exploring how to make them work year-round, and I'm excited to share some of my personal twists!
When it comes to those gorgeous orange chrome nails, I find they're not just for fall pumpkins! A lighter, more peachy orange chrome can look absolutely stunning in summer, especially with a tan. For those who love mustard yellow, I’ve noticed it’s a perfect transition color. If you're looking for something brighter, a glossy lemon yellow nail polish is my go-to for a spring or early summer vibe. It's so cheerful and really pops! I love experimenting with a delicate white accent on a glossy yellow base for a fresh, bright design.
And let's talk about the classics: cherry red and maroon. These deep, rich colors are fall staples, but I've personally found that a vibrant, glossy cherry red can feel incredibly chic for a summer evening, while maroon, especially in a matte finish, screams cozy winter elegance. For women with tan skin, I find these deeper reds and maroons look absolutely incredible – they really make your hands stand out beautifully.
Now, for navy blue nails. This one surprised me initially as a fall pick, but I'm completely onboard! It’s such a sophisticated alternative to black. I often pair it with a subtle shimmer for a touch of glam. While the article focuses on solid navy, I've seen some absolutely gorgeous nail art designs with navy accents, like tiny stars or geometric patterns, which can work for any season when you want a touch of elegance.
Beyond just solid colors, the idea of mixed fall French tips is genius, especially when I'm feeling indecisive! But you can totally adapt this concept. Imagine a natural nail base with subtle pastel yellow tips for spring, or bright orange French tips for summer. For those who prefer natural nails, a clear glossy top coat over your natural nail with just a delicate line of orange, yellow, or even a soft red near the tip can give you a chic, understated look. I’ve even tried a reverse French tip with a pop of mustard yellow – it's a unique take that always gets compliments!
Ultimately, nail art and color choices are all about expressing yourself. Don't be afraid to mix and match. Whether you're aiming for glossy lemon yellow nails, vibrant orange nails, or subtle natural nail designs, the key is to have fun and make these colors your own, no matter the season!
