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.

Rihanna Talks Shedding Expectations And Finding Balance As A Mother
Since becoming a mother in 2022, Rihanna has defined parenthood by her terms and hopes to pass that sense of autonomy on to her children.
For Vogue China’s April cover story, Rihanna shared her perspective on raising her two sons with A$AP Rocky, and how she hopes to preserve her children’s uniqueness, devoid of societal expectations.
"The most beautiful thing...is that [children] come into the world with their own individuality and sincerity, without any logic or conformity,” she told the publication. “Which usually makes you feel that you must fit into a certain group."
The “Work” artist, known for her trendsetting style and captivating persona, expressed her desire to support children in fully embracing their individuality and encouraging them to be whoever they want to be. "It's really beautiful to see and I want to continue to help them navigate that and make sure that they know they can be whoever they want to be,” she says.
She continues, “They should embrace it completely, because it's beautiful, and it's unique. I love them just that way."
From shattering music charts to shaking up the beauty industry, Rihanna has forged a path that has since created the “dream” life we see today. One that she says has made her parents proud of.
“I’m living my dream,” she continued. “My parents were very proud of that because they just wanted me to be happy and successful. So, I think the key thing is to find some kind of balance. Yes, balance is important. Do this and you get the best of both worlds. You can write your own life the way you want, and it will be beautiful. Sometimes, you just need to let go of everyone’s expectations and start living your own story.”
Rihanna, who shares sons, RZA, 23 months, and Riot, 8 months, with rapper A$AP Rocky, recently shared her vision for expanding her family in the future in Interview Magazine.
When stylist Mel Ottenberg asked about the number of additional children she hoped to have, Rihanna replied, "As many as God wants me to have.”
"I don't know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl,” she adds. “But of course, if it's another boy, it's another boy."
