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

Nail art is one of the best ways for us to express ourselves! From pastels to neutrals to bright colors, there are an abundance of colors and designs for everyone to create their own signature look while staying on trend this season. Let’s take a look at what Fall 2021 has in store for us!

metallic accents

Add a pop of color to your nails by adding metallic accents, or opt to paint your whole nail with a metallic shimmer polish! Metallics in either gold and silver can elevate a basic look to a classy and chic one.

neutral nails

Neutral nail colors are a must this season. With a variety of shades ranging from pinks to light browns, neutral nails are a cute, low-maintenance way to wear your nails.

earth tones

Earthy tones, like deep greens and browns, can pair with several staple fall pieces in your wardrobe. They can help accentuate other accessories as well, such as rings.

dark shades

Dark blues and purples can be paired with a more dramatic and edgy fall style. They are especially great for nighttime looks and Halloween-themed occasions.

Early 2000s Inspiration

We have been seeing the early 2000s come back everywhere, and another place their influence has shone through is through nail art. Relive this era with decorative floral and gem pieces in your mani.

swirly nail art

Swirly nail art can combine a variety of colors together for a creative look. Take a neutral pink, earthy brown, and swirl the colors for the ultimate fall look.

french tips 2.0

French tips never go out of style. Instead of the usual white tip, try a different color, like one of the earthy tones or pair with a metallic tip. The possibilities are endless!

Whether you prefer solid colors or unique patterns, there are a variety of ways to design your nails this fall. Hope some of these mani trends gave you some inspiration for the next time you book your nail appointment or DIY nails!
