End Of Summer | Early Fall Nails
Nail Inspiration for after Labor Day! Think muted colors that merge the end of summer with the colors of fall.
Deep reds, teals, berries, touches of gold, burnt orange, muted blues, and deep greens are all popular this year.
Brighten them up for summer’s end with a touch of sparkle. These could also work for after Thanksgiving.
Floral design details in muted fall shades blend the two seasons beautifully.
Don’t forget the muted jewel tones…
Autumn Nails
Cozy it up with plenty of pumpkins, leaves, sunflower designs and classic fall colors like brown, orange, muted yellows, copper, burgundy, and gold.
Mix prints and plaids in the coziest shades of fall or go multi colored with alternating warm metallics in varying shades of copper, brown, and gold. Try different finishes too like matte, super glossy, or both!
If you can’t make up your mind which fall color to go with just do a different one for each nail! Multicolored nails are really trendy for autumn.
The hot pink french tips that were so trendy in the summer are now transitioning to fall with dark french tips.
Don’t be afraid to get creative with the use of pumpkins like these pumpkin french tips on nude nails.
Here’s a super easy tutorial to paint adorable pumpkin nail tips yourself! You can also try using a black sharpie for the outline.
Experiment with various colors for the pumpkins like pastel to create a different feel like the Disney Cinderella Fairy Godmother aesthetic pictured below by the VERY talented Barbra Feszyn (check her out on IG for plenty of nail inspo).
You could also try black pumpkins with white or orange lining for a more Halloween vibe.
Halloween Nail Ideas
Disney’s Nightmare Before Christmas nails can take you from Halloween straight to Christmas!
Candy corn is a Fall candy staple, especially for Halloween! Almond shaped nails make the best little candy corns on your fingers!
If you want some gore…try nude nails with dripping blood red tips. Check out this tutorial by @ChezNails to easily Diy them!
Do blood red with some sponged black on the tips for a devilish flair.
When in doubt do one nail design on every finger nail like we did last year!
Here’s a simple idea, do different colors for each fingernail and pick a couple of accent nails for Halloween art.
