Whether you’re ready for fall or not, the long days of summer are ending and the cooler days of autumn are on the way. One fun thing to look forward to: getting to choose a new fall nail polish color. Whether you’re going to be doing a DIY mani at home or taking it to the salon for a little pampering, use one of our favorite fall nail colors. Check out the trending nail colors for fall 2017 below.
Dark Green: Nails Inc. NailKale Nail Polish in Bruton Mews
Switch up your usual deep red or navy and opt for a fresh, deep green. It’s a trending nail color for fall 2017. It will pair nicely with all the hues of fall—and it especially pops on lighter skin tones.
Brick Orange: OPI Nail Lacquer in Yank My Doodle
Match the shades of the season with this burnt orange hue—one of the best nail colors for fall. It looks a little more brown in the bottle, but it has a tint of orange for an unexpected, yet flattering shade.
Sandy Beige: Lust Cosmetics Nail Polish in Queen B
It’s not quite nude and not quite brown, but it’s the perfect neutral fall nail color. The hue flatters all skin tones so you don’t have to worry about it washing you out or being too light. If you’re looking for a fall staple, we found it for you.
Ruby Red: Butter London Nail Lacquer in Ruby Murray
A deep red is always a must in the fall nail color lineup and this one is so juicy it looks like a glass of merlot. The deep berry hue leans more cranberry on lighter skin tones and more purple on darker skin tones—making it flattering and unique for all.
Metallic: Kendra Scott Nail Lacquer in Rose Gold Metallic
If you want to make a statement with your fall nail color, go for metallic. This rose gold hue makes a statement without being quite as flashy as its gold and silver counterparts. It will also add some sparkle to the mundane neutrals of fall.
Smokey Lilac: Essie in Merino Cool
This seemingly neutral shade has a slight hint purple in it for an unexpected twist that will still go with everything.
