20 fall nail polishes that will spice up your mani this season

With temperatures dropping well below 60, it’s safe to say that fall is officially here. It’s time to bring out your sweaters, scarves, and boots. Even our beauty routines need to transition this season—to thicker creams, berry lipsticks, dark polishes.

For your next mani-pedi, test the waters with edgy shades that you normally wouldn’t gravitate toward.

And just because you’re temporarily retiring your fave bright shades, doesn’t mean fall nail polishes have to be boring. With brands putting their own spin on traditional fall nail colors, the possibilities are endless. Whether you like to play around with bold colors or prefer to amp up your nude shades, we’ve rounded up 20 of the best fall nail colors for you to try this season.
