The summer heat has finally made its exit, allowing a cool breeze to come through and remind us that fall is on its way. As we bring out the cozy knitted sweaters, trench coats, and this season’s must-have bag, I couldn’t help but wonder, what 2022 fall & winter nail trends should I be pairing my outfits with?

Pumpkins, spice, and everything nice. I’m swooning over these manicures! I’ve included something in this list for everyone, from latte-inspired swirls, how to copy the Hailey Bieber “glazed donut” nails, go-to classic shades like burgundy and pumpkin spice, playful takes on french mains, and metallic accents galore—and yes, there have even been a few solid (but far from boring) neutrals trending for the traditionalists among us.
In other words, these aren’t your basic fall nail trends. So should you feel so inclined to pair all your trench coat with a mani worth skipping gloves for, I’ve rounded up the best fall nail ideas that I’ve seen online recently.
Let’s dive right in,
The nail fit that took social media by storm this month – Hailey Beiber nails. These will definitely continue to be a mainstay throughout the fall. They’re so versatile and can be worn regardless of what season you’re in.
I got the details on how to recreate this look from the nail artist that first created this look – Zola Ganzorigt. She used the following OPI nail polishes:
✨OPI Stay Strong gel base coat✨OPI gel color in Funny Bunny✨OPI Stay Shiny top coat
✨OPI chrome effects in Tin Man Can
I adore good swivel nail art. Particularly when created in deep autumn shades, you’ve got yourself a sultry and sophisticated nail design.
An elegant twist to this season’s biggest trend – only these nails will match all of the outfits in your closet.
Match your mani to your aura with this new trend I’ve spotted all over Instagram. Featuring bright circles and an otherworldly glow, aura nail designs are the ethereal gradient trend you’ll definitely want to try for fall.
Bringing back a 90’s trend just in time 😍 These can be easily done at home using any of the 3 nail polish set I linked below
The early 2000s-inspired aesthetic is extending to nails, with smiley faces, hearts, fruits, yin & yang symbols taking up residence on tips. A mitch-matched set of brown tones & designs on nails is a great look to try for the coziest season of the year.
Heart nails are fun to wear, and they make your entire outfit look more relaxed and happy. There’s no seriousness in this nail design, and even just a single dainty heart decal on top of a nail adds a gorgeous feminine effect to your manicure.
Try the classic French mani, but with a fall-approved maroon color. Switch things up by painting one nail in full paint. A stunning, minimalist look for the cooler months.
Add a simple gold line across nude-painted nails for an elevated manicure. Perfect for everyday wear or to match with a Halloween costume.
Why only go for one fall color when you can have them all across your 10 fingernails? This array of warm-toned colors works immaculately together. These show-stopping nails are sure to get you a few compliments.
Purple is a key fall color, particularly in the month of October. Try this unique design the next time you go to your nail tech.
Now here’s a look you likely haven’t seen before: cat eye manicures. To recreate the look you can use the Gaoy Rainbow Glitter Cat Eye Gel Nail Polish Pack from Amazon
We’re all made of stardust, but have you ever thought of painting it onto your nails? From nebulae to the Milky Way, your next nail salon appointment is a great opportunity put the cosmos on your fingertips.
A gold manicure is a perfect way to accessorize for every holiday party, engagement party, or special event.
Cobalt blue is the new “it” color, and this trend is surely going to last through the fall all the way into winter. If you feel that the neutral, warm-toned colors are a little overdone in the fall, then a deep blue design such as this is just as eye-catching.
