    Lean into this fall’s dark romance trend with this stunning, intricate mani. An iridescent, sparkly base pairs together with an artistic recreation of gothic windows for a look that’s at once ethereal and twisted.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    @brushedbyb_ \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Aura nails have shown no sign of stopping, and we’re obsessed with this orange and navy blue take. The additional pop of purple is a fabulous touch.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    This brown and cream abstract mani is literal art. This style can be whatever you want it to be\u2014show this image to your nail artist and let their imagination run wild.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Halloween may be over, but spooky vibes are still ideal all Scorpio season. Complete with bats, spiderwebs, and pearls, this emerald and black set feels very Elphaba-coded, making it an ideal mani to wear ahead of the Wicked: For Good<\/em> premiere.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    @nails_of_la \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    This isn’t a regular French manicure\u2014this is the funky, cool French of the future. We love the combination of negative space manicure and traditional French style (and the black and white is just so chic).\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    06<\/span>of 32<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Pumpkin Spice Skittles <\/span><\/h2>\n

    <\/p>\n

    @amyle.nails \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    A skittle manicure is always a welcome sight. This fall-inspired look feels like a pumpkin spice latte, just on your fingers.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    07<\/span>of 32<\/span><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    @melanated.mani \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    The cat eye effect is both literally and metaphorically magnetic. This mani combines vivid plum with a touch of velvety gold to bring a hefty dose of mystical warmth that feels just right for November.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Nothing screams fall quite like a wine-colored nail polish. Whether you like a lighter burgundy or a true, deep wine shade like this one, the color is perfect for a fall vibe.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    These almond-shaped nails are so fun, almost like they were picked at random. The 3D effect of the dots and swirls is bound to inspire any nail artist.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    The jelly manicure effect makes any nail look that much more mesmerizing, and this tortoiseshell-patterned take on the trend is gorgeous. Here, it gets a moody makeover paired with the deep vermillion shade.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    12<\/span>of 32<\/span><\/div>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Meld two fun-filled modern trends with this mani, which adds classic black polka dots to a base of purple polish. The color combo feels regal yet retro, though it’s also easily adaptable to other hues if you prefer.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    13<\/span>of 32<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    <\/p>\n

    @melanated.mani\u00a0\/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    No shade embodies fall quite like mustard yellow. Regardless of how you feel about the condiment, you can’t deny that it makes the perfect shade for a November nail.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    14<\/span>of 32<\/span><\/div>\n

    \"pink\"pink<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    @melanated.mani \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Both of these hues are neutral but not quite nude, making for a look that’s wearable yet eye-catching. The glitter-specked pink and brown hues are just unique enough to be different but don’t scream at you from a distance.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    15<\/span>of 32<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Assorted Chocolates <\/span><\/h2>\n

    <\/p>\n

    @amyle.nails \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Remember what we said about the skittle manicure? It applies here, too. This time, the shades are giving more “box of chocolates”\u2014and they’re just as delicious.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    16<\/span>of 32<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Slate French <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n

    \"slate\"slate<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    @amyle.nails \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    It’s not quite slate gray, but it’s not quite blue\u2014it’s somewhere in between. Pairing the matte polish with the shiny French tip levels up this look.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    17<\/span>of 32<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Red Elegance <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n

    \"red\"red<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    @lolo.nailedit \/Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    A true red is perfect any time of the year, but there’s something really unique about a candy apple shade in late autumn. It reminds us of trips to the cider mill and apple pie.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    18<\/span>of 32<\/span><\/div>\n

    @nailsbycanishiea \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Pistachio green is an underrated color in the fall palette, and this manicure proves its worth. The artsy, abstract design is perfect for the cooler weather.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    19<\/span>of 32<\/span><\/div>\n

    \"burgundy,\"burgundy,<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    @amyle.nails \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Some color schemes go together like the Haim sisters, and the combo of black, plum, and cheetah print is one of them. This gel manicure will keep them guessing in the best way possible.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    @amyle.nails \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Looking for a nail look to transition you into the holiday season? This red and gold manicure will fit in at any holiday party, without screaming “CHRISTMAS” like it’s 5 AM on December 25.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \"brown\"brown<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    @lolo.nailedit \/Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Butter yellow had a huge moment over the past few seasons, and swirling it with a brown shade feels like Thanksgiving on your fingers. It’s giving mashed potatoes and gravy, but make it fashion.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    22<\/span>of 32<\/span><\/div>\n

    \"khaki\"khaki<\/div>\n<\/div>

    @nailsbycanishiea \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Khakis aren’t just pants to wear to work\u2014this khaki green is a woody neutral. The olive-adjacent color suits all skin tones and provides a welcome change from the browns and deep oranges you see during this time.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    23<\/span>of 32<\/span><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    @overglowedit \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    How can resin inspiration look so good on a nail? Probably because it’s paired with a gorgeous blue-red French tip on a few fingers.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    This multi-layered French nail is for those who love a good stripe. The overlapping of the tan, cream, and orange feels like a flannel print on your fingers.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that cheetah print is, in fact, a neutral. This black and burnt orange nail look is sure to look great on safari (or, you know, watching National Geographic<\/em> videos).\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Swirly nails are always a great (and easy!) approach to nail art. Here, a fall-themed color scheme really suits the style. If you’re into sports, it’s a great way to sport (pun intended) your team’s colors without being too<\/em> obvious.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
