The 19 Best Nail Colors to Try This Fall

Hailey Bieber made glazed-donut beauty chic with her skincare line, Rhode, and her viral pearlescent nails from the 2022 Met Gala. This milky white shimmer polish gives the glazed effect without the use of a chrome powder. Plus, it contains Argan oil to nourish nails.

If you’re already in glitter mode, this muted lavender is a cool alternative to the extra-blingy shades we’ll be wearing come the holidays.

Pastels? For fall? Actually groundbreaking. This soft yellow is not only unexpected, but pairs well with transitional dressing.

You can wear this pretty tangerine hue even when it’s not Halloween.

We just can’t quit grey nail polish in cooler months, and this smoky blue-grey is a cool update. Plus, it’s a part of OPI’s plant-based line, Nature Strong.

Red shades are always a good idea during the colder months, but this fall calls for moody hues. This formula is non-toxic, vegan, and 10-free—but still boasts mega-shine.

An earthy brown conjures images of cozy fall knits and jackets. This polish is infused with AHAs to help smooth and hydrate your nails while acting as a great neutral accent.

A rich olive green can act like a neutral and is universally flattering. Try this shade with round shape nails to balance out the deep color.

Chrome nails ruled the fall/winter 2022 runways, and this Deborah Lippmann gel polish comes in a sleek silver hue that will last for weeks.

This bold blue from Essie’s fall collection will go perfectly with your cozy layers, but won’t look out of place during the last few weeks of summer either.

A shiny black manicure always feels right during fall. And when it comes from a bottle this chic? It’s on another level.

This metallic evergreen is great all year long, but feels especially fun for fall and winter. Pick this for your next mani and you won't be able to stop staring at your nails.

Mischo Beauty's crisp, chip-resistant midnight blue is a fresh take on a dark red or black manicure. Don't be scared to give it a try.

Autumn and red wine go hand in hand—talking about nail colors, of course. Zoya's vampy Blair shade has a hint of metallic shimmer, too, so it'll stick out from the crowd.

A great neutral nail polish is a staple. We love this pale pink shade for any season, but especially for fall. Use it as the base for a chic design, such as an abstract swirl or French nail.

A metallic rose gold is the perfect accessory to any outfit. It's easy to wear because it's not too far off from a basic pinky nude—but it's about a thousand times more fun. This color will look gorgeous on almond nails (one of the hottest shapes of the season).

There's no such thing as too much glitter. Layer this nail polish on for a show-stopping manicure. And don't just save this for a holiday mani: Try an accent glitter nail for the fall months.

Can't make it to a nail salon? If you're not a skilled DIY manicurist, choose this forgiving nail treatment instead of traditional polish. It brightens nails just a touch with the sheer pink color but is impossible to mess up.

There's no wrong way to wear a red nail. This polish from Christian Louboutin is pricey but worth it: The ultra-glossy polish lasts over a week.
