A Fall Nail Bonanza: 27 Nail Colors That Pop, Shimmer & Complement
It’s almost that time again! Fire pits, cardigans, Uggs and, the long awaited favorite, pumpkin spice lattes, are on their way! September 22nd marks the first day of Fall, and just as the leaves transition into beautiful earthy colors, so do the wardrobes, makeup, and nails. It’s time to start thinking about new manicure palettes, and we have some new amazing colors as well as some throwbacks and classics to share! We love Essie’s shades, with their wide selections there’s a color for everyone to love.
Reds & Oranges
These colors capture Autumn’s passionate reds and oranges—burnt reds, deep burgundies, wines and Bordeaux, shining rubies and the forever in-style classic reds! These shades never seem to go out of style and pair nicely with other colors, so they won’t clash with your favorite Fall outfits.
Oranges can be found everywhere during Fall, especially around Halloween. But don’t let that trick you into thinking that’s the only time these beautiful vibrant oranges are allowed to make a manicure appearance! Bright red and smoky burnt oranges have a special place in our hearts (and on our hands!) from September through November.
