As fall takes off in full force, I’m happily pulling my sweaters back out. With a new season, it’s time to update your wardrobe — and yes, this includes your nails. Fall’s latest trends are bringing a whole new level of chic to your fingertips. From bold metallics and gems that give editorial vibes to a classic deep red, there is a trend tailored to you. Get ready to take tons of nail pics for the ‘gram and prepare to turn heads. Here are the hottest nail trends you absolutely need to try this fall!

Jelly Nails 

If you thought jelly nails were a summer fling, think again. This see-through, slightly shiny look is still trending hard — and I'm crushing on it. The sheer layers give your nails a delicate yet bold vibe. As we dive into fall, swap those hot pinks and sunshine yellows for moodier shades like smoky grays, deep reds, or even a rich caramel hue. Trust us, your nails will thank you.

Get the look: Ella + Mila's jelly polish line has an option for everyone no matter what shade you prefer. Color Suga Suga is a fall classic and will give your mani a gorgeous sheen.

After a summer filled with cheetah-print dresses, bags, and even shoes, it’s no surprise the wild trend has crawled its way onto our nails. From bold zebra stripes to classic cheetah spots, it’s time to unleash your inner wild side. Whether you're adding a subtle statement nail or going full-on animal kingdom, this trend is sure to turn heads and have everyone asking, "Where did you get your nails done?"

French Tips Revamped

French tips are back, baby! But we're leaving those basic neutrals behind. Now, it’s all about pushing the boundaries. Think electric colors, shiny metallics, or even a soft neutral base with a tiny gem for that understated glam. Long nails are totally having their moment right now, and they create the perfect canvas for this trendy twist on a classic.

Metallic Madness 

Whether you're into sleek silvers, glimmering golds, or edgy chrome, metallic nails are the easiest way to add a little extra shine to your look. This style is perfect for nights out or when you just want to feel a little extra. It’s giving 2000s indie sleaze with a clean girl twist.

Classic Reds 

Red nails are timeless. They scream confidence, power, and sophistication. This fall, expect to see deeper shades of red, from ruby to burgundy. It’s the ultimate chic choice for any outfit or occasion and is a tried and true classic. If you don’t believe me, look at the runway. Helmut Lang’s 2024 fashion show displayed dozens of fresh manis in a gorgeous black cherry color.

Get the look: This one is a splurge but totally worth it. Dior's Shine and Long Wear Gel Effect Nail Polish in 047 Nuit 1947 is a classy deep red that is sure to capture your heart. The high quality polish will ensure your nails stay intact for weeks.

Toasted Caramel

‍

Pioneered by Hailey Bieber in a recent Instagram story, she wrote “ready for fall over here,” with a photo of her freshly polished nails. The color was quickly coined toasted caramel. I mean, what Hailey Bieber moment doesn’t have a food related name? A soft and cozy alternative to nude, caramel tones are perfect for the upcoming sweater weather. They’re subtle enough for everyday wear but still add a touch of warmth to your look. Ideal for when you want to feel effortlessly put-together.

Get the look: Ready to replicate Hailey's iconic look? Olive and June's Long Lasting Polish in Tip Your Barista is a complete dupe for her nails. The color is as cozy as a sweater.

This shape is not only bold but also versatile enough to rock with any design — from intricate art to minimalist shades. Plus, they give your hands that elongated, elegant vibe that's been in style for years now. The square shape is reminiscent of 2016 in the best way possible. Get ready for endless compliments. 

Get the look: Olive and June's Minimalist Dot press-ons are a great choice for anyone who loves a neutral look. The length and square shape makes the nails stand out and adds a extra fun touch.
