It’s that time of year again - a change in seasons means a refresh in clothing and accessory trends. And nail trends, of course, will never be far behind. The light pinks and bright yellows that scream summer are in time out as Fall drops some show-stopping nail trends in both color and texture that you won’t want to miss. From french manicures with a colorful twist to shiny metallics and even velvet mani’s, here are the nail trends you’ll be seeing everywhere this fall.
New Twist On An Old Classic
French manicures are a tried and true favorite; I mean, who doesn’t look good with an elegant french mani? But this fall, there’s a fresh new twist on this old classic, from nude hued tips to bright orange. And from dark and brooding slivers to color to bold metallics, the possibilities are endless.

Essie, Nail Polish Glossy Shine Finish
Essie’s Off Tropic is a stunning shade of green (which incidentally is also on trend for Fall), and it makes for a nice sliver of color on a french manicure.
Pedal to the Metal
Speaking of metallics, if a sliver of sparkle isn’t enough, then feel free to put the pedal to the metal because metallics are on trend too.

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nail Polish
If nothing else, you gotta love the name of this one—Game of Chromes? But creative names aside, this gold gel polish from Sally Hansen is an easy way to guild your nails for a dazzling on-trend mani.
Purple Reign
Fall is here, and that means sweater weather and the return of dark manicures. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a little Lincoln Park After Dark. This year though, it looks like plums and purples are a great way to rock a dark manicure with just a little more color.
