    Florals aren’t reserved for spring and summer. Simply use autumnal shades to make them work for fall (and Thanksgiving). Here, chocolate brown, taupe, and burnt orange are the stars of the show.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Nail inspo can come from anything\u2014including your coffee order. To recreate this look, apply French manicure nail stickers to section off your tips. Then, swirl warm brown and cream polish on each. Once dry, remove the stickers and use a fine-lining nail art brush to complete the look with a white border on each tip.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    An easy way to elevate a classic French design? With an ultra-fine second arch beneath each tip. While this nail art looks gorgeous in any color, we especially dig the idea of a dark chocolate hue for Thanksgiving.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Ombr\u00e9 nails are often worn in summer, but when crafted in shades of brown and cream, they look great for fall, too. To recreate this look, apply a sheer, jelly fade for the base of each nail. Then, use a nail art brush to apply opaque swirls on top.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
