35+ Chic Fall Nail Ideas to Inspire you this Autumn Season 2025

Looking for some chic and classic nail ideas for Fall? Look no further, this post is a collection of 31 beautiful manicure ideas that you will want to try as soon as possible.

There is nothing I love more than when the weather gets colder. In my opinion, Fall is the best season for everything, decorating the home, pumpkin scented candles and coffee, neutral colors, cozy sweaters, knee high boots, hats, etc. I just love it all.

Even on the days when I don’t want to leave the house and just lounge around in my favorite home wear in lieu of dressing up for the day, having perfectly styled nails is right there at the top of my list.

Having said that, I typically opt for a classic french manicure at all times or I keep it simple with white polish on my nails and toes. This Fall, I have decided to branch out to some brown & neutral tones because there are so many options available when you do an at home manicure.

AT HOME NAIL TIP:

I love at home manicures because it keeps my nails healthier. I used to go to the salon two times a month so all of that filing down can cause your nails to get brittle and weak. I use Pink Armor Nail Gel whenever I want to bring my nails back to health after too many salon visits. I do about 3 coats over regular nail polish. I also take hair, skin and nail vitamins regularly ( Right now I love Mary Ruth Hair, Skin & Nails gummies ).

So, I pulled together a list of my favorite Fall nail ideas so that you can have a source of inspiration for your next trip to the salon or at home manicure.

Healthy Nail favorites on Amazon

Nail serums are absolutely essential for growing out your nails.

I always keep the pink nail armor gel on me in my purse.

Mary Ruth Hair, Skin & Nail gummy vitamins are an must.

I adore Deborah Lipmann’s line of gorgeous Fall nail color set.

Be sure to moisturize daily with a hand & nail nourishing lotion.

It’s important to have an electric nail file on hand at home for a flawless look.

I love this pink teddy bear nail scrubber or this bamboo one as well.

Most importantly, you will want a full manicure file & care set at home to prep.

HOW TO WEAR BROWN NAIL POLISH PROPERLY:

• Warm skin tone with yellow undertones should go for brown colors with warm undertones like tawny (orange-brown) and caramels.

• Cool skin tones with reddish undertones should opt for taupe, pecan, and coffee browns.

• Neutral skin tones (with a mix of yellow or red undertones) should choose walnut, gingerbread and chocolate browns.” - Deborah Lippman
