Elegant Olive
This earthy nail color totally gives off that understated luxury feeling. It’s a perfect balance between being bold and neutral, making it versatile enough for both professional environments and stylish everyday wear. This shade is not too light that it screams summer, but also not giving off Christmas tree vibes. You can pair this color with a matted finish, or a glossy top coat like seen in the photo below.
Coppery Hue
This color is all about autumnal glamour. The metallic copper tone gives off a nice warm glow that pairs well with a normal casual work outfit or a night out on the town. Opts for this color if you have a ton of events and weddings to go to this fall – it’s versatility makes it easy to dress up and down.
Burgundy Wine
This deep, vibrant color reminds us of a full bodied, sultry red wine, which is totally something you’d expect to be sipping on in the cooler months of fall. The color is versatile and adds a pop of warmth and elegance to any outfit, making it ideal for both office settings and evening events.
The Red Chrome
The classic red never goes out of style, but for fall, we love this elevated look. The red nail gets kicked up a notch with the chrome gold overlay. Often referred to as “fire chrome nails”, what was a trend last year, is an absolute must for this fall. Red is always a staple in fall and these nails are the perfect fall transition color. This metallic manicure is sure to never fail.
The Moody French
We mentioned the Burgundy wine color before, but this look takes it to the next level. The ever-so-classic french manicure gets an upgrade with what we are calling the moody french! A deep plum base color with a classic french tip and an elegant gold leaf finishes off the look. Feel free to bring your creativity and play around with the perfect placement of the gold. This look is sure to impress and be a show stopper at your thanksgiving dinner.
Black Cauldron
You can never go wrong with black, and this hue exudes a particular mystery and sophistication that we absolutely love. This inky black shade is equal parts bold and edgy as it is refined, making it a powerful statement color that can elevate any look, from a sleek office outfit to a dramatic evening ensemble. Black is the color that goes with everything after all.
Cranberry Cocktail
This rich and alluring nail color draws from that deep redness that you’d find in the season’s most ripe cranberries. It’s juicy, flirty, and fun – offering the perfect balance of boldness and sophistication. It’s not quite as dark as a burgundy but has more depth than a typical red, making it perfect for fall. We love this color on a shorter nail.
Plaid Perfection
This design is all about cozy, classic charm. This design features a neutral cream base and complementary fall colored lines like deep burgundy and teal green arranged in a plaid pattern, creating the ultimate fall look. It’s timeless, fun, and adds a bit of personality to any otherwise neutral office outfit. Who needs accessories when your nails make a huge statement.
Deep Plum Ombre
This luxurious nail design blends varying shades of plum for a cool, eye catching gradient effect. The base is a deep plum – something you’d expect to see in a fall harvest – and transitions to a rich “almost black” purple hue. This design is certainly elegant, and is perfect for casual daytime events or more dress nighttime activities.
Dark Navy Geometric
This design features an interesting geometric pattern in a deep, dark navy color. It’s the perfect choice for those more creative types and want to push the boundaries a bit this fall and try out something new and out of the box. Collaborate with your nail tech to find the pattern that works for you, but try to stay in this family of blues. It’s the perfect hue for those colder fall months.
Warm Chestnut
This cozy color whole heartedly embraces the essence of fall. The deep, warm brown with subtle reddish undertones reminds us of roasted chestnuts and autumn leaves. Its creamy, slightly glossy finish adds a hint of elegance, so you can easily wear it from day to night, and everything in between.
Olive Vine
This is the perfect pattern for the our artsy followers and those that are tired of just simple, plain colors. This pattern of an olive vine is super understated so it won’t distract at work, but it’s also interesting enough to pique attention from your co workers.
