14 Trendy Nail Art Ideas To Try This Fall
With Labor Day marking the last days of summer, I guess it's time to start thinking about fall beauty trends. Since nail art is one of the simplest ways to make a change with minimal risk, we wanted to give you some new ideas to try.
With so many different types of nail art trending, you won't have any trouble finding a style that works for you. Whether you're digging the manicured oval shaped look or you're in the mood to go artsy; this list has inspiration to get your inner creative flowing before your next mani. Keep in mind you have all cuffing season long to try as many new styles as your heart desires.
Here are fourteen nail ideas to ask your nail tech to try this fall.
21st Century Girl
Channel your inner galactic goddess with your own mani inspired by Sica Mojica. One of the things I like about this set other than the adorable nail art is the dark blue hue that's used. It shows us we can go dark without going reaching for black polish.
Spotted
When it comes to nails, if you are a clear-polish-and-go kinda girl, adding white polish with a negative space design might be the perfect middle ground for you to try something new.
The Textures Have It
Go print or go home. Okay, this caption might have been a little lame, but you can never go wrong with a textured print on your nails or in your wardrobe.
Double Negative
Negative space nails are a trend that isn't letting up which means there's more time to explore nail art style with any color palette you choose.
Send Nudes
Who said nudes have to be boring? Take you next mani up a notch with a little inspiration from the talented nails artists at New Orleans' Mad Nails.
A Tiger & Her Stripes
Leopard print is a classic, but there is always room to switch it up.
Elevated French
If you live in Detroit, you'll want to make a stop by The Ten Nail Bar as it is black-owned, and you can guarantee you'll leave with a set of nails you'll want to show off. Forget the traditional french mani, and try this one on. If you're still feeling unsure about trying something new, this style hit the runways of fashion week, so you'll be ahead of the curve.
Pop-Off With Pop Art
These glossy black, pop art nails remind us that we can wear love and hope on our sleeves and our nails.
Complementary Hues
A nude and coral combination is something I never would have thought to try, but this look takes two hues that complement dark skin and gives them new life.
All That Gemstone & Gold
If you enjoy dark neutrals, gemstone with a touch of gold is the way to go.
Art Deco Chic
Art-inspired nails are a big trend this fall, and these nails take a summer staple (the white polish) and add a fall trend.
Minimal, But Make It Fashion
If you're not following Gracie J for nail inspo, you're missing out. The editorial nail artists' work gives me nail envy, and this purple look is one that will complement your fall fashion fits.
Go Neutral
Neutrals don't mean you can't have some fun. These adorable oval-shaped nails will be a conversation piece at your next happy hour.
The Tortoise & The Nude
The Nail Art Fairy is one of my favorite nail artists on Instagram. I think this nude and tortoise shell combo shows you why.

Tyler James Williams Explains Why His And Quinta Brunson 'Abbott Elementary' Characters Should Remain Friends
While Abbott Elementary fans are hoping that Janine and Gregory end up together, the show’s star has another take. Tyler James Williams plays Gregory on the Emmy award-winning sitcom, and he recently stopped by The Jennifer Hudson Show to share his point of view on his storyline with Janine, which Quinta Brunson plays.
“I hate to say it. I know that everybody’s always mad at me for this. I don’t necessarily want to see them together,” he revealed. “It’s partially an actor’s choice, but also somebody who, like, I read a lot of scripts all the time. I watch a lot of TV, a lot of film. I don’t think that we see displays of platonic love between two people often. I think it’s really easy to go right to they have feelings for each other, therefore they should be together. I like this dynamic of exploring withholding that and just actively loving each other where they are. That I like to see more.”
If you recall, they were co-workers who became friends but were secretly crushing on each other. They’ve had many awkward run-ins during and after school, like the unforgettable club scene where they were dancing nervously with each other in season one, and in season two, they finally kiss. However, it only made things even more awkward, and they decided to just be friends. Tyler further explained why he thinks it’s important to showcase that type of relationship on screen.
“I think it’s time for that. I think TV allows people to see things that could be their lives for the first time, and I think seeing a healthy friendship that is deeply caring about one another in a work atmosphere needs to be shown more than the relationship,” he concluded.
Abbott Elementary comes on every Wednesday at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.
