If you’re anything like me, the second September 1st hits you’re forcefully inducing the beginnings of fall. Who cares if it isn’t technically fall until September 22nd? So what if it’s still 90 degrees and sunny out? If the calendar says September then that gives me cause to switch out my lavender coffee creamer for pumpkin spice and start donning the more autumnal colors in my summer wardrobe. Even if the leaves haven’t exactly started turning and the air remains without that crisp smell to it, in my mind, September brings the start of spooky season and sweater weather, and pumpkin spiced everything.
What a better way to usher in the new season than with a new nail look? My favorite way to accessorize is with my nails and the turning of the seasons breathes new life into the more muted tones that we often neglect during the spring and summer months.
From neutrals to jewel tones, autumnal colors have something for everyone, and we’ve collected 14 fresh nail ideas for you to try out this autumn.
