Because I like fall colors so much, one day I started browsing Pinterest and beauty brand sites to see what colors are trending for fall this year. What I found was interesting because it seems the trends are a bit all over the board.
Some nail brands are still doing dark saturated shades for fall. Others have released shade colors that are brighter than typical fall colors and look more like summer colors. Some nail brands are leaning a little more into pastels.
Because there doesn’t seem to be just one direction for the nail color trends this year I decided to pull out the shades that I liked, stood out to me, and would look good against darker skin tones.
In addition to your traditional nail polish, I’ve also included nail strips on this list for those who don’t want to mess with nail polish or want to jazz up their nail look without going to the salon.
Reds
Red is a pretty typical nail color that is good to use all year round. I found some great red shades that I would love to rock this fall.
Essie Not A Phase: This is a burgundy red shade from Essie’s Odd Squad Nail Polish Collection at Ulta.
CND VINYLUX Decadence: I feel like this shade's name fits the shade color perfectly. This red nail polish shade is a CND VINYLUX Long Wear Nail Polish
Sally Hansen ASAP Apple: This is a red that I typically would associate with summer but it can be worn all year even in the fall. This shade is a Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Color.

Oranges
Orange is pretty much the IT color for fall so I couldn’t imagine putting this list together and not including it.
Orly Hits Different: I've never tried this nail polish brand but I've seen some good reviews. So I added this neon red orange polish to the list.
Sally Hansen A Hot Minute: This is a burnt orange gel nail polish from the Desert Oasis Nail Polish Collection. It looks great with multiple skin tones and I would love to try it out myself.
Rocky Rose: This is cream terracotta which is a perfect fall color. This polish is part of the OPI Infinite Shine Long-Wear collection.

Browns
Since brown is one of the secondary fall colors I wanted to make sure I included it. Plus, this season there are so many different shades of brown available. From deep chocolate browns to more muted nudes.
Dashing Diva Into Ash Real Salon Gel Glow Art: These nail strips are a pretty purple brown shade. I have this set and loved the way they looked. You can see how they looked in my Instagram feed.

OPI Humidi-Tea: This is a nude shimmer. It’s very pretty and a good way to use a nail shade in the brown color family but don’t want to go too dark and would like a little shimmer.
Zoya Nail Polish in Ryder: This is another brand I haven't used before but it caught my eye because it claims to be oxygen-activated. This shade is a rich, coastal redwood brown nail polish in a full-coverage cream formula.
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Color in Thyme Is Money: This light gray has a built-in base and top coat.
I would typically associate green with spring but when I saw these deep and rich green shades I changed my mind.
Dashing Diva Magnolia Vine Gloss Ultra Shine Gel Palette: These nail strips are beautiful deep green, gold glitter, and magnolia accents.
Le Mini Macaron 1-Step, 3-in-1 Formula Gel Polish in Emerald Green: This dark green nail polish is a base coat, color, and top coat all in one. Plus it dries in 30 seconds.

Grays
I love a good gray nail shade and I just realized they are a perfect nail shade for fall. So I decided to include a few more options than I did for the other colors.
Olive & June AW: This is a brand sold at Target. Their shade names are pretty simple and straightforward like this one for their lone gray shade. This polish shade is considered to be a warm-toned gray.
OPI Nature Strong Nail Polish in Force OF Nailture: This is a slate gray nail polish that is made with plant-based ingredients.
