Although I’m loath to say that summer is over (I’m a Leo and it’s still our season, damnit!), I can’t deny that the fashion and beauty industries move a little faster than the traditional calendar. Autumnal trends are popping up all over my FYP and suddenly my online browsing is geared less towards linen and more towards lightweight sweaters and over-the-knee boots. The same goes for my beauty routine. I’m getting prepped to swap in a heavier moisturizer for my gel-water formula, my camel coat blonde is receiving a slightly darker gloss, and my bi-monthly manicures are on the precipice of rich, moody shades. I mean, twist my arm, but I love discovering the hottest nail polish trends for any season, so I went ahead and did the heavy lifting for you—all the better to preserve your fresh mani.
So, if you’re looking to ease out of the pastel and rainbow French manicures of the steamy summer in favor of a fresh, transitional weather look, here are my top five predictions for fall 2025’s most in-demand nail polish colors.
