1. Deep Burgundy Elegance with a Leafy Accent
Something about this burgundy set is undeniably classy, rich, sultry and just moody enough to wear this fall. The gentle nude nail with a gentle naturey accent is accented with an artistic touch that feels quite seasonal and eternal at the same time. They make it seem as though your nails are saying whatever, the meaning could be, I have my life together, eh. even when you are yet to decide what to have this meal.
This short style compliments round or oval nail beds and it looks amazing on medium to thick nails. It suits perfectly to a person, who wants to have a clean, stylish appearance with only a single outstanding accessory, so as not to be boring. It has that polished salon look and the natural nail remains secure due to the topcoat that has that shine.
2. Autumn Blossoms and Rusty Glimmer
Sweater weather yells it out in the best way possible with this design. Its golden flowery accents combined with burnt orange and copper glitter tips makes me feel it as a warm day in September. It is light and down-to-earth, also akin to pumpkin picking in the cardigan you love most of all (made of cashmere).
It would suit medium to short square nails and would flatter all skin type and nail shape. Make the color of the base somewhat neutral to allow details and sparkles of flowers to stand out. It is perfect, when you love some nail art but can not fully in the game due to some circumstances.
3. Bold Burgundy French with a Starry Twist
This french short design is washing up to be bold and playful with some whimsy, which is perfect because it is “modern diva energy”. The shiny burgundy tips are fabulous but the pink base and that cute little green star tone them down, the crimson, the pink and that darling green and white star are a surprise but so lovely.
It is designed to be worn by a confident woman that likes her nails to speak but not scream. The chrome like shine has edge, but the shape has its functionality making it suitable to be worn with natural or short brown nails. It is an upgraded version of the traditional french tip and has a hint of character in it.
4. Cute Terracotta Hearts and Cozy Contrast
and this would be the coquetting side of fall. The charming terracotta with adorable white hearts has all the homelike feeling without being completely pumpkin patchy. And that pop of grey? Intellectual, contemporary edge that prevents things to become too precious.
This is perfect if you’re someone who loves seasonal nail art but still wants it to feel minimal. The matte finish is especially great with the medium length nails, and the heart patterns are not too much that one can say, I am wearing a costume. Super wearable, super fun.
5. Pumpkin Patch Chic with Plaid and Sunflowers
Onesies to the real fall fans – pumpkins, plaid and sunflowers all in a package of a must-have nail set. It is retro, but not tacky and, at the same time, a cheery play on the fall season with an air of sophistication.
They leave space to such cuteness and the medium length square shape allows fitting in the everyday life. Whether you’re baking apple pies or just sipping coffee at your desk, these nails bring that perfect fall flair. They go well with large scarves and a cup of hot cider particularly well.
6. Coffee Cream Swirl in Neutral Tones
Otherwise, as easy as that pumpkin spice latte you keep drinking all of the fall, this mani is a combination of cozy browns, taupe, and ivory into a single cozy, swirled pattern that is both relaxing and sophisticated. The simplicity of the lines also brings in some movement and texture which is subtle so as not to be over crowded in the eye.
This look is perfect if you’re drawn to neutral, natural styles with a refined edge. Made to fit short or mid-range square shaped, it suits flames and cool skin tones superbly. It is a discreet style which means: I am fashionable, but I do not have to proclaim it.
7. Olive Green Meets Autumn Gold
This style resembles the adventure along a narrow path in the forest in sunny September. There is the green and deep brown which is already very grounding but it is the gold leaf garnish and the fine brush of every little branch that is the real charm of it is like little treasures between the pages of a journal.
This shape looks extremely elegant with short brown nails, which have an oval or square tip, and provide a particularly flattering look without making an extra effort. When you tend more to natural, earth shades, and want a little bit of glitter, this is your heavenly combination of tone-down and drama.
