10 Nail Art Designs to Try for Fall: Cosy Season is Here
Fall is a season of transformation. As the leaves turn golden and the air gets crisp, there's an undeniable urge to reflect this change in our personal style. And what better canvas to start with than our nails? Nail Technicians, it's time to brush up on the latest trends and techniques to offer your clients the best of fall nail art. From the evergreen charm of French gel nails to the festive enchantment of pumpkin nails, this season promises lots of different designs to play with.
The Timeless Appeal of French Gel Nails
The French manicure has been a staple in the nail industry for decades. But this fall, it's all about giving it a modern twist. Instead of the classic white tip, why not experiment with a metallic gold or a deep burgundy? For those clients who love a touch of tradition with a sprinkle of contemporary, this is the go-to design. This is a great way for your clients who always opt for a French tip, to be a little more adventurous whilst staying within their usually elegant choice.
Pumpkin Nails: Embracing the Season's Spirit
Nothing screams autumn like pumpkins. And incorporating them into nail art? Absolute perfection. You can hand-paint tiny pumpkins using a liner nail brush or use decals for a quicker alternative. To elevate the design further, add gold or bronze accents. This design can be done in traditional Halloween colours such as orange and black, or it can be done with neutral gel polishes for your more minimalistic clients!

Trending Nail Colours
Every season has its palette, and fall is no exception. This year, trending nail colours range from earthy browns and muted greens to vibrant reds and deep blues. But it's not just about the colour; it's about how you use it. The ombre effect, where you choose two or three complementary colours and create a gradient, is making waves. Using an Ombre Nail Brush, you can create a seamless blend of this season's must-have gel nail polish shades. Give this a go with burnt orange, burgundy, and black - we’re obsessed!
Metallics: The Evergreen Trend
Metallic nail colours are like that classic white shirt in your wardrobe - always in style. Whether you use them as an all-over base colour or for intricate detailing, they add a touch of luxury to any design. Combine them with matte finishes for a chic, modern look. Golds such as 'Enigma' and bronzes such as 'Bronzer' are especially popular during the fall, reflecting the season's warmth and glow. Another hugely popular trend at the moment is chrome nails! Gold Chrome is the perfect look for the cosy season and again, this could be applied on the tip, the entire nail, or maybe your client fancies a gold chrome pumpkin?!
Nature's Touch: Designs Inspired by Autumn
Nature is the best artist, and fall is the most beautiful season of them all. Drawing inspiration from this, think of designs that echo the time of year. Hand-painted leaves, trees, and even forest landscapes can make for stunning nail art. Earthy tones like browns, greens, and deep oranges are your best friends here. And with the precision that gel nails offer, these designs can be incredibly detailed and lifelike. The perfect nature design for autumn this season is a little maple leaf - your clients will love it!
Minimalism at Its Best
In the world of nail art, sometimes less is more. Minimalist designs, characterised by simple patterns, clean lines, and a restricted colour palette, are gaining traction. It’s all about the clean girl aesthetic! Thin brushes can be used to create delicate lines and patterns on a nude or pastel base. Neutrals are in and they’re here to stay, so make sure you’ve got a range of nude polishes in your gel nail kit with a variety of different undertones to match every skin tone. Our Miss Dolla favourites are Ambition and Laid Bare.
Glitter: Adding Festivity to Nails
As autumn progresses and we inch closer to the festive season, adding some glitter to nail designs seems apt. It could be a full glitter nail, a gradient effect, or just a sprinkle on the tips. Glitter nails are versatile, and can be incorporated into any design. With the range of colours available, the possibilities are endless.
Textures and Patterns: The Game Changers
This season, it's all about textures. Using gel nails, nail technicians can create designs that not only look good but feel good. Think of patterns like knits, tweeds, or even lace. These designs are unique, offering a tactile experience. They're perfect for the cooler months, adding depth and dimension to nails. The easiest way to do this is by using our Rubber Base Coat. Once the base colour is cured, you can use a liner nail brush to paint this thick gel on top, then cure it for that 3D effect.
Understanding the latest trends and mastering the techniques is crucial. This fall, with the plethora of designs and colours available, there's no limit to creativity. Whether it's the elegance of French gel nails, the festivity of pumpkin nails, or the cosiness of knitted nails, there's a design for every client and every mood.
Remember, the key is to balance. Balance between colour and design, tradition and innovation, simplicity and extravagance. Always ensure you're using high-quality products to guarantee the best results for your clients and don’t forget to tag us in your Fall nail creations!
