What polish to wear this fall! (2024)

As the season starts to shift and the temperatures start to drop, the nail trends are still hot! We are taking a look at some of the key colors for the fall/winter 2023 season, as well as some artistic inspiration to introduce into your nail looks.


Make it Matte

We all love a glossy shiny manicured look but styles this fall will have a big focus on texture.. think big fuzzy sweaters, suede boots, puffy, pleather coats. Bring an element of texture to your nails by pairing some of your favorite fall shades with a top coat matte. Want to spice it up even more? Try using multiple colors on the nails, and bringing them back to a cohesive look with the matte finish.

Mixing Dark & Light

It is no secret that the cooler months tend to have us reaching for darker, more cozy shades, however pairing these darker tones with lighter shades can bring an element of surprise, a hint of dimension and an overall more elevated look. Try mixing dark shades with metallics, glitters, or bright pop colors like oranges, purples and pinks.

Key Colors

Green: This color has been on trend all year, with lighter or brighter shades reminiscent of jade or green grass pop-ing up this spring and summer (try Petit Pois). As we move into fall and winter these shades will become slightly more muted and earthy, more reminiscent of dark olive tones or powdery, smooth eucalyptus. Check out some of our shades:


Artichaut

A medium-deep, muted green that feels neutral and electric at the same time
