Whether you love a quick at-home manicure or a relaxing visit to sundays studio, these are the most popular fall nail colors to try!

Gold will be a big hit this Fall. It is moody and dark like brown is, but the kiss of sparkle makes it more playful and light. Go for a shimmery shade like sundays studio’ S. 01 that has an elevated every day look.

Red nail polish like sundays studio’s No.14 will always be on trend, but expect to see this bright, glossy version everywhere this fall.

While bright reds are a constant favorite, this year, you’ll also see tons of dark, burgundy and cherry colors like sundays studio’s No.17 that exude quiet confidence.

9. Best Terracotta
Terracotta has hints of red and orange that feel warm and autumnal without looking too dark or intense, making it the perfect transition from summer to fall. When we see sundays studio’s No.25, we’re reminded of pumpkin spice lattes and crunchy brown leaves on the ground.

12. Best Warm Greige
Greige (or greyish beige) nails will be a huge trend this fall. So if you want to try something a lil different from your usual light-pink or beige shade but like to keep your nails light, try two to three coats of sundays studio’s No.06, followed by a top coat for shine.

13. Best Cool Greige
We also love this cool shade of greige (or greyish beige) that feels soft and wearable like a neutral, but still has a slight edge to it (thanks to the blue undertone). Try sundays studio’s No.31 to feeel calm and grounded every time you glance at your manicure.

14. Best Black
Black nails were once reserved for people who spent their free time roaming the Vans Warped Tour and Hot Topic, but now they’re a minimalist-manicure classic. Swipe on two coats of sundays studio’s No.42 to give a high-fashion vibe, or rock a Wednesday Addams look by layering on a matte top coat for some extra edge.

15. Best White
The sheer milky manicure has not run its course yet, and we’re not mad about it. This simple, soft, clean nail trend will be the perfect compliment to your arsenal of cable-knit sweaters.

Summary
Rich and earthy tones take center stage in 2023. Metallic finishes in gold bring a touch of glamour to your nails, perfect for special occasions. Deep cherry, reminiscent of red wine, exudes sophistication and warmth, while warm terracotta captures the essence of falling leaves. For those who prefer subtler shades, muted pastels like mauve and dusty blue add a touch of elegance to your fall look.
In addition to choosing the best fall nail polish color, don’t forget about nailcare. As the weather gets colder, use sundays studio’s healing and hydrating cuticle serums and bergamot hand cream. Your hands and nails will thank you for it!
