Fall's Best Nail Designs to Try (Don't Worry, They're Super Easy!)

Foliage! Snakeskin! Our favorite nail art bloggers took inspiration from autumn's coolest motifs to create 13 perfect-for-fall manicures

By Katie Alberts - August 29, 2013 Manicurator.com

Nail art superstar Victoria (aka Manicurator) chose a chic palette of pumpkin, gunmetal and magenta for her take on the hot tribal pattern trend.

Our talon-inspired design is as fierce and sexy as a killer pair of stilettos, but much easier to wear!

ChalkboardNails.com

Jewel-like emerald and smoldering oxblood combine in this reptilian mani from Chalkboard Nails. The best part: Unlike a bag, snakeskin nails cost only pennies—and no animals are harmed.

Lacquology.com

Jess of Lacquology used striping polish and q-tips to whip up this seriously stylish ikat nail art. It’s perfect for world travelers—or anyone with a bohemian bent.

The Dainty Squid

These stunningly simple nails from Kaylah of The Dainty Squid remind us of early autumn sunlight—and the toffee-yellow base color is fresh and unexpected.

Sporty details (think shrunken jerseys, team numbers and racing stripes) are a strong fall trend, and translate beautifully into nail art.

PollyPolish.com

Nail artist Polly Polish layered intense gold sparkle (a mix of glitter and glequins) over rich orange-red foil. The result: High-carat haute couture for our nails!

NailNerd.com

Combining chartreuse, persimmon, brick and gold, these sparkly striped nails from Nail Nerd are like little autumn-themed rainbows for your fingers!

TheNailsaurus.com

Proving lacy looks don’t have to be pastel to be pretty, The Nailasaurus stamped coppery designs onto almost-black nails.

LoveMaegan.com

Blogger Maegan Tintari mixed three shimmering shades to create an unusually avant-garde pattern—it’s reminiscent of the lines on an earthquake meter!

This seductive mani starts with French tips in oxblood red, and finishes with dripped details any vampire would love.

Sylandsam.com

A far cry from summer’s playful looks, these outlined, studded nails from Syl and Sam mean business (and help us delay our craving for a new studded handbag.)

Manicurator.com

Magenta and eggplant are autumn’s biggest shades—Pantone calls the colors “Vivacious” and “Acai,” and this design from Manicurator swirls them into a stunning autumn melange.

The-Nail-Network.com

Watch the colors change…on your nails! We’re smitten with this intricate design created by Chelsea of The Nail Network. To get the look, follow her tips for sponging on the leaves and painting on the branches.

DidMyNails.com

Elizabeth of Did My Nails brought fall’s most quintessential crop—apples—to life in this charming, matte-textured manicure.
