Autumn has a special, almost magical charm: afternoon walks through apple orchards, a glass of aromatic mulled wine, and, of course, a perfectly chosen fall manicure.
There’s no universal “best” fall manicure — the key is to choose one that brings you joy. But trends do exist, and they can serve as inspiration. Every year, classic autumn motifs make a comeback: natural neutral shades, tiny leaf designs, nail stickers, or other subtle seasonal hints. The most interesting designs are those that feel fresh, harmonious, and slightly unexpected.
According to professionals, the main trends in fall 2025 manicures cover everything: from updated neutrals and deep dark shades to playful patterns and glossy finishes.
Below, we’ve gathered 5 manicure ideas to help you stay on trend this fall. Take a look, get inspired, and create your perfect autumn look!

Neutral shades are gradually replacing the sheer pinks that were popular in summer. Opt for colors like mocha mousse, caramel, or latte — they create a “my nails, but better” effect while adding a warm, cozy autumn vibe.

For a long time, the nail art world was dominated by long, pointed shapes — almond, square, and stiletto. However, duck-shaped nails are now making a comeback on the runways. This retro style is inspired by the shape of a duck’s foot: the nail remains narrow at the base, while the tip flares out beautifully to the sides, creating a striking and unusual silhouette instead of the usual taper.
