1. Awesome Autumn Ombre

This nail design is as stunning as it is simple. You can even skip the stamping plates for this one. Start by painting your nail white. It’s a good idea to apply a couple layers of this base colour to make sure it’s not transparent. Once it’s dry, use a sponge to apply fall-inspired polish to the tips. Try using a glitter polish to take this striking look one step further.

2. Scenery Inspired Tips

To really pay homage to the season that brings us Pumpkin Spiced Lattes, incorporate iconic fall foliage on your tips. This can range from fall-coloured flowers to trees losing their beautifully coloured leaves. Nail stamping plates are the perfect way to achieve these flawless and festive fingernail designs.

3. Gobble Up This Cute Design

Fall = Thanksgiving = Turkeys! For something really fun, add some of these birds to your designs. These silly looking animals will not only put you in a thankful mood, they’ll make you smile too. If you’re talented at freehand designs, get painting. If freehand nail painting isn’t quite your forte, pick up some stamping plates and get stamping instead. For an extra comical look, glue on some googly eyes. With so many options for turkey-inspired nail art, there’s a lot to be thankful for.

4. Reverse Fall French Tips

For a sophisticated spin on fall-inspired easy nail art, try this must-have mani. Grab your favourite brown nail polish and a glitter polish that not only complements the brown, but also pulls in the colours of autumn. Use that brown nail polish as a base. Once dry, apply glitter to the base of your nail and pull the brush up about a third of the way to your fingertips. Once your happy with the amount of sparkle, apply a topcoat to keep the glitter in place.

5. Warm Up Those Fingers 

Another cooler-weather inspired nail design that’s heating up the nail art industry is buffalo plaid. This look can be achieved by pairing your favourite fall colour with black. Simply paint your finger nails the colour of your choice – two coats works best – then use a nail stamping plate and stamper to add the black plaid image over top. Besides looking trendy this fall, this design will also look amazing during winter as well.
