As autumn settles in and nature transitions into a richer, moodier palette, nail colour trends are evolving to reflect the season’s signature depth and elegance. Autumn 2025 is all about embracing warmth, sophistication, and texture through your manicure. From deep jewel tones to soft neutral glazes, the trends this year are refined and wearable while still making a statement.

Earthy metallics & rich browns:

Leading the colour charge is copper. This metallic hue with its rusty orange undertone perfectly mimics the changing leaves and adds an eye-catching shimmer that works on every skin tone. It’s joined by chocolate brown and espresso, two grounded shades that provide a chic, understated contrast to brighter summer colors. These rich browns are making a strong comeback as stylish neutrals that bring subtle drama and pair well with every outfit.

Gem-inspired statement shades:

Jewel tones such as emerald green, sapphire blue, and amethyst purple are becoming increasingly popular as well. These rich, gem-like shades add depth and a little bit of luxury to your nails that look especially chic in high gloss and velvet finishes. Purple is taking the reins this season, with deep plum and wine tones such as Bordeaux and aubergine being favored for evening sophistication and everyday glamour.

Minimalist neutrals for balance:

For those who love the minimalist aesthetic of milky whites, creamy pearls, and sheer nude, don't worry! Soft neutrals are here to stay and serve as a new modern balance to the bolder hues—we love them for a clean, elevated, casual manicure.

In case you were wondering, summer styles will be fading this fall with bright neons, butterfly yellows, and overly playful styles being left behind. Florals are being outshined by tortoise shell patterns and marble finishes that create depth and artistry while being appropriate for the season. Nail art is trending towards texture and layered tones in place of bold illustrations.
