The 12 Best Nail Polish Colors For Fall
By India Espy-Jones · Updated November 3, 2023
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

White and sheer neutral polishes had their moment over the summer. But, as temperatures get colder, you might want to warm up your hands with crimson and orange hues– allowing your nail polish color to complement the falling leaves. Trade in your pastels for the likes of Gucci’s Goldie red shade or perhaps J. Hannah’s rust-toned nail lacquer, Fauna, is more your speed.

Otherwise, you might want to lean into browns with Hermès’ Brun Bistre– a radiant deep chocolate for raking up the season’s leaves. Or, like the now shorter days, go dark and Grab Chanel’s Oiseau de Nuit– perfect for your next date night. And to boost your mood on gloomier days? Reach for something sparkling and metallic like ILNP’s Eclipse.

Below, check out the best 12 nail polish colors for the fall season.
