1. Brown French tips
This warm chocolate brown is such a great color for fall! Using the color for French tips feels elegant and understated. The white linework adds some interest that we really love for this look.
2. Scattered leaves
Adding some fall motifs is a fun way to amp up your fall nails, and these leaves are a perfect option if you are drawn towards fall reds and oranges. We particularly love that there are solid colored nails mixed in as well to break up all the leaves.
3. Cute and eclectic
This style offers a little bit of everything! A French tip, some flowers, some solid colors, all brought together by a cohesive color palette. While you could 100% ask to replicate this look, customizing it to match your style is maybe even more fun! Instead of flowers, you could try leaves, vines, pumpkins, or even bats for Halloween!
4. Matcha green press-on’s
This set is actually a set of press-on’s, but you could always replicate this look yourself or ask your nail tech to do it for you. The velvety green is a beautiful choice for fall nails, a refreshing change from warm browns and oranges.
5. Chocolate swirls
The sinuous linework of these nails is captivating and it’s well suited to the classic fall colors shown here. The creamy beige and chocolate brown work well together and welcome fall in an understated, elegant way.
6. Pumpkin and ghost
We love this cute take on fall nails! The pumpkins are accompanied by daisies, dark sparkles, and an adorable ghost to make a look that’s sure to turn heads this fall. For an extra touch, you could add crystals to the sparkles!
7. Multi-colored French tips
We’ve shown a few different versions of French tips so far, but we love the way this look features a range of colors in this classic nail style. The colors range from white to a warm brown, but this would also look great in a range of dark blues, sage greens, or even plum or burgundy.
8. Brown heart details
Brown brings warmth to nails, making it a fan favorite for fall nails everywhere. And, once again, the two browns are showcased in French tips, though this time the French tips feature hearts in the contrasting brown to create a coy twist on the classic. To amp up this look, you could make the hearts red or white!
9. White pumpkins
This option focuses on the lighter pink range of neutrals accentuated by rose gold sparkles. The white pumpkins feel festive, but aren’t obvious at first sight, making them a perfect option if you’re looking for something understated.
10. Dark red stars
Red, particularly dark red and burgundy, pops up as a hot color for fall year after year, so we love them as a color choice for chic fall nails. Red gives fall vibes without being too literal and the solid red nails play well with the French tips, punctuated by a star that pulls the look together.
11. Red French tip press-on’s
If the red stars feels like a bit much for you, these red French tip press-on’s may be a good middle ground. They give the chic look of red, but in a more simple way. These would also look phenomenal in plum, gray, or even a dark teal.
12. Coffee colored flowers
We are back in the coffee tones with this fun floral look! What’s fun with this option is that the only real fall element is the color palette, so it’s another good choice for those into more subtle nods to fall. But if you want your fall nails to scream, swap the palette for more vivid reds and oranges or opt for leaves in lieu of flowers!
13. Ghost bouquet
Get your nails ready for Halloween with this fun and festive nail look! The eye-catching orange is cheerful alone, but its accompanied by friendly little ghosts. If that’s not cute enough, each ghost has a bouquet in them!
14. Chrome brown press-on’s
The last set of press-on fall nails we have is a brown ombre with a chrome finish. The chrome brings more life and interest to the nails, giving them an almost frosty look that plays well against the warmth of the brown.
15. Plum florals
Plums and purples are underrated fall colors! If brown is not your bag, maybe try some designs in purples. It offers similar depth and richness as brown and even brings a bit of a vampy vibe!
