This year’s fall nail trends came early. It was only August when trendsetters like Zendaya, Hailey Bieber, and Sofia Richie began retiring summer shades like bubble bath and butter yellow in favor of moody reds, skin-colored neutrals, and maple syrup hues. The early adoption makes sense—this season’s color selection is debatably the most tempting to swipe across nails and toes ASAP.
A stark contrast to the bright and bubbly summer nail trends, the undertones and richness that coincide with fall are inherently elevated. “This season, colors are going to be more traditional with warm, moody shades that give a sophisticated vibe,” nail artist Tom Bachik, who works with Selena Gomez and Jennifer Lopez, exclusively tells me.
