There is a blend of cold sophistication in this winter-inspired design with its soft dusty-hued blue polish, snowflake artistry and a touch of sequin glitz. It is as that initial blast of frost morning, clear, enchanted and brash in its own subtle ways.
This set is an ideal choice of people who like acrylics or coffin shapes since it makes a fashionable festive statement but remains versatile at the same time.

11. Blue Blossom Field
It kind of reminds me of a garden of forget-me-nots growing between your fingertips, with the navy and fresh white contrasted throughout with the blue flower, with scattered blossoms to finish softly and femininely. It’s delicate without being fussy — like a silk scarf or your favorite floral blouse.
The best type of nail design that can be applied to this is short square nails or medium square nails because it is a white background so the blue flowers appear on the darker background.

This is fall drama at its finest. The deep navy color provides more than enough contrast to the bold orange and fiery marble designs that literally shine against the base. It feels artistic, edgy, and undeniably confident.

14. Teal & Tartan Glam
This is not an average fall print, we love the gold stripes and teal accents of this plaid that is luxurious, fun, and oh so surprising. It’s like cozying up in a flannel and gold hoops all at once.
If you love patterns with a touch of sparkle, this one’s for you. The combination of green and gold with traditional brown and cream gives the feel of warmth and the designs have been kept sharp due to the short or almond shaped nails. It’s glam with just enough edge.
15. Soft Blue & Brown Plaid
This shade galore is so nostalgic to me the these tones of dusty blue and brown chocolate are a preppy dust, latte season plaid in good extravagant motion.
The monotone colors will make this a splendid everyday choice, but since this is also available in shorter and rounder nails, one can wear this too easily. The style is quite discreet yet stylish which should please anyone, in particular, a person in need of a clean and yet on-trend cover this season.

It is a dreamy manicure that captures every gentle vibe of autumn leaves and misty mornings. The white art which seems like feathers with a soft grey background is sort of light and ethereal like carrying a whisper.
This color is an excellent choice of the one who wants to make his nails natural, but fancy.

This spunky trio of navy, red and clean white is like the choicest items in the fall mode look, sophisticated, sharp, and somewhat sporty. It’s giving “preppy chic” in the best way, like a statement scarf paired with your coziest coat.

This matte blue nail polish is subtly luxurious, and it is so editorial. The drama is introduced by the single marble with gold branches addition that is more of a drop of elegance than a roar.
