Brown nails are the perfect go-to in the fall, and we love this multi-color approach to a classic style. While each almond nail is *technically* brown, the varying shades give this manicure amazing dimension.

Orange is obviously a fall winner, but we love these patterned burnt-orange nails with a single black accent nail. While shorter fall nails are super on trend this year, this style would also look great on coffin acrylics too.

Ombre nails in the fall tend to look more like candy corn than cute. This peachy orange-to-white ombre nail palette is great for when you want to have bright fall colors without feeling like you’ve got your Halloween manicure in September.
