Get ready to elevate your style with stunning fall nail designs. November nails can have many meanings. For some people, using the season’s colors in artistic ways is what it’s all about. Mustard, olive, and berry are examples to think of. For some people, it’s all about trying out the newest styles. This month, a lot of different nail styles will be in fashion, from Japanese-inspired nails to short, fun, mismatched designs. Do you not know which way to go? We want to help.
1. Espresso Velvet Nails
This month, try a velvet manicure with dark colors. A deep, dark color, like espresso, looks even better with a shiny, textured finish.

6. 3D Autumn Mismatch Nails
All year long, 3D nails have been a trend. This amber design with mismatched patterns is inspired by the season and the Japanese nail art style of adding big flower decorations to bold nails. To put it simply, we can’t get enough.
8. Autumn Amber Leaf Press Nails
Do you remember when you were a child, you used to press leaves between paper and color over them? It was a fun and romantic activity that surprisingly works well with fall nail art. For proof, look at this pattern in amber and espresso.
9. Mix-and-Match Fall Nails
Nail designs that mix and match are usually bright and remind people of summer. The creative manicure style can also be used in the fall with darker, moodier polishes and designs.
10. Berry Aura Nails
Berry and plum colors are fall must-haves. If you don’t really like ultra-dark, solid-colored nails, you can make things brighter by adding an aura accent in purple.

This fall, animal prints are in style. Crocodile nail art is one example of this. Rich red colors are more romantic than neutrals this month.

15. Denim Bow Nails
This bow nail design is inspired by Japanese art. It uses a variety of colors and has 3D elements. Because it’s so complicated, you may want to make an appointment for your nails to get this denim dream.
16. Bordeaux French Tips
It’s easy to make a November nail look that gets noticed. Choose a fall polish that stands out, like Bordeaux. Then, use both a matte and a glossy top coat to make a dual-finish French look.
17. Cutout Nails for Fall
It’s simple to do this bright cutout manicure at home. Just use a nail art brush to create your random shapes, leaving some space between them. Put on a top coat to finish.
18. Gold Chrome Tortoise Nails
We love how gold, chrome, and tortoiseshell nails have been in style this fall. For a stylish November manicure, don’t pick one of the two options—mix them.
19. Greek goddess French Tips
A lot of people on Instagram are doing Greek goddess nails. There are many ways to understand them. They usually have a complex gold, celestial, or laurel crown on a creamy base. Begin with a milky nude base and brown French tips to get this look. Then, use a dotting tool to add little gold starbursts and dots all over.
20. Greek Goddess Starburst Nails
Do you really like how the Greek goddess nail art trend uses gold accents? You can always use a shiny wavy base on top of little starbursts to make your shimmer even more eye-catching.
21. Groovy Green and Orange Nails
Sage and mint green might not be the most obvious November nail colors, but we love how they look with orange on short nails.
22. Mauve Dewdrop Nails
Clear dew drops are a better choice than cute charms for a Japanese-inspired, simple nail design. The 3D details look like something from the future when paired with the pink French base.

These Greek goddess nails are original and stylish with their shiny white color. We love all of the details, like the gold parts, the frosty pearly shine, and the clear tips.
