12 Must-Try Nail Art Designs for Fall

Start with a wine-colored base, then add gold leaf and crescent moons for a mani reminiscent of a crisp fall night.

The two best things about fall are striped sweaters and fall foliage, so why not combine the two for a nail look that screams, "I love fall!"

For this autumnal look, paint a metallic copper shade on the top halves of your nails, then add a thin stripe of pink right underneath for an unexpected pop.

Try an orange and black checkered pattern for a festive Halloween look that isn't too literal.

Put away the summery pastels and neons, and instead pick up earthier tones, like this olive green. To copy this exact look, add sparkle on your pointer and ring fingers, and finish with a white and gold pattern on your middle fingers.

Maybe literal nail art isn't your cup of pumpkin chai tea and abstract designs are more your thing. In that case, try a look like this with a nail art foil applied in an artfully random way.

A mani that looks exactly like a maple leaf is one you'll want to wear all season long.

If you want to go a more subtle route but still want a mani that's fall-inspired, a cool chevron pattern with a mix of reds will do just the trick.

If you're looking to take the perfect pumpkin picking photo, you'll need a mani to match. Paint the tips of your nails a bright orange, then add a sparkly polish at the base of your nails for an autumn-approved look.

Let the colors of transitioning leaves inspire your nail design like this look. Paint the base sheer, and add small dots at the base of your nails in a gradation of colors from deep burgundy to orange red.

If bright reds and oranges aren't for you, get your inspiration from a cozy night in and opt for a matte gray polish with marble accents instead.

Keep it simple but seasonal with a black French tip, or go one step further and paint tiny pumpkins over the half moons of your nails.
