10 Most Fashionable Fall Nail Colors of 2015

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oregon chapter.

How did summer go by so fast?? But at least we can look forward to the little things fall has to offer like the crispness of the air, layering sweaters and pairing them with Uggs, wearing leather jackets again and finally swapping out our bright summer colors for a moodier color palette.

So, what better way to accent the new fall look than with a fresh manicure? Here are the ten best nail polish colors we swear by for autumn.

Coco Suede- Laura Mercier Nail Lacquer, $18

Get obsessed with varying shades of brown so your hands appear to be all one color and blend into your new dark matte color palette.

Italian Love Affair- OPI Nail Lacquer, $9.50

Consider a neutral nude with a pink hue. It is very Kim Kardashian! This color will be the perfect accent to your fall booties.

Blue Orchid- Deborah Lippman, $18

If you do not already, develop a crush on Deborah Lippman’s Blue Orchid nail lacquer. As the perfect hazy shade of blue, it is a little more grown up than other shades. With the cloudy, dreamy vibe, try pairing this color with some denim and a blazer. It will also look cute popping out of your open toed shoes.

Fall in Line- Essie, $8.50

Excited to bust out Essie’s new dusty teal hue? Well get ready to rock a steaming Hot Toddy with their new color “Fall in Line.”

Pepper- Zoya, $9

It is easy to love Zoya nail colors especially when they are Big 5 free. The brush is really easy to use too. This dark red shade will be on my toes all the way through this winter.

Giberson Nocturne- Jinsoon Tess, $18

Try having a gunmetal dark grey win you over. Choosing a dark polish that almost looks black adds a sense of “metallic-ness” to your outfit. The shimmer in this polish will take away from anything that might be constructed as goth and further makes such a dark color appear delicate.

Rich Chocolate- OPI Nail Lacquer, $9.50

For fall, a deep, burnt shade like, OPI’s purple-enhanced chocolate color from their Brazil collection is just perfect. This is more interesting than just a plain shade of brown.

Toasted Sugar- Tom Ford Nail Lacquer, $32

For all you nude type of girls out there, you understand how difficult it is to find the perfect nail polish. Try Tom Ford’s Toasted Sugar! It is as close to perfect as we’ve found for this season. It makes your nails look lacquered and long, and lasts a full week (if you do not do the dishes to much)…

Bordeaux- Essie, $8.50

Love a clean, neutral, rich, deep red color?  For fall, the darker color the more classic. This twist on the traditional red lends the perfect hint of sexiness to your typical beauty look.

Impossibly Plush- CND Vinylux, $9.90

If you are not interested in going for a dark nail color in the fall, try to gravitate towards nudes. Especially go for nudes that are tinted with a bit of gray. And the best part is CND nail polish is virtually unchippable. Try to pair your nails with a bold berry-wine lip color for autumn.
