Winter-Ready Mani: Here’s To An Autumnal State Of Mind

Winter-Ready Mani: Here’s To An Autumnal State Of Mind

After a summer of vibrant and pastel nail colours, autumn focuses on rich, deep shades and softer neutrals. The nail polish shades we’re most smitten by right now are mossy greens, mustard yellows, burgundy plums, merlot purples, chocolaty browns, and nudes and tans. Playing around with different polish types can help you add texture to your mani. For example, a matte nail polish will make you think of the softness of your favourite shawls and sweaters, while the popular glazed-donut nail trend may be perfectly adapted for fall by using an iridescent top coat over a dark colour. Without further ado, we’ve listed five fall nail polish shades to wear this season.

5 Fall Nail Shades You Should Be Having On Your Radar This Season

Oxblood FTW!

An autumnal nail colour scheme would never be complete without an oxblood-ish red. Fall is a fantastic time for a dark red, such as burgundy plums, eggplant purples, or wine reds. Oh well, you can also add a striking accent with a single gold glitter nail to amp up the style and get winter-ready.

What About Christ-Mossy Greens?

Yes, we totally agree that we can’t go wrong with a fall-appropriate burgundy red nail polish, but if you want something more dramatic, consider a deep moss green to jazz up your digits. Since it looks good on every skin tone, it’s my go-to fall colour, and green is a lovely alternative to the traditional burgundy that we frequently see during the winter season.

As Keen As Mustard!

If you’re already missing your summery bright yellow nail polish, switch up your vibrant colours for a more warm and dark hue like this muted mustard yellow. We assure you that this will be “the standout colour of fall.” Moreover, it fits with the western rodeo idea that is popular in both fashion and beauty this fall (oh boy, my cowboy boots are about to get so much love).

Pull Out Your Denim!

What colour is the nail paint I’m wearing while I type this? Muted greyish-blue nail polish. I associate taking my jeans out of storage before the first day of fall with this subdued, grey-blue colour. If you’re not quite ready to pile on the deep winter tones just yet, it’s a fantastic shade fit for an effortless transition.

Your Cuppa Hot Chocolate!

A new take on dark nail polish that gives your go-to burgundy a break is a chocolaty brown. We are stocking up on everything from cool-toned Mid-Day Mocha and warm brownish clay to a deep, genuine brown due to the ongoing craze with tonal browns.

Embrace the season by wearing fall colours on your digits!
