As a chill returns to the morning air and you end up reaching in your coziest cardigan again, prepare for things to get moody… manicure-wise. Fall 2023 nail art trends are here in autumn’s expected palette — midnight blues and black, the best wines, and deep purples — but this season, those usual suspects have an entire recent edgier edge.

On fall runways, manicures were multidimensional: Probably the most basic black manicure shone with a patent finish at Rodarte and metal was sculpted into nail art at each Off-White and LoveShackFancy. And on her social feed, nail artist Betina Goldstein is already edging easy French manicures with tiny, 3D decals and attaching delicate jewelry to the guidelines.

For Allure’s fall nail shoot, nail artist Nori Yamanaka reached for wealthy hues and an assortment of accessories to offer these trends of the moment her own twist. But first things first: Every look began (and ended) with very well-moisturized cuticles. “Pretty, healthy nails are trendy now,” Yamanaka says, referencing the glazed manicures which have dominated fingertips on the red carpet and beyond for well over a 12 months.

Should you are more of a maximalist (or perhaps seeking to add more excitement to your solid, neutral look) you’ll wish to refill on sponges, powder pigments, studs, and broken chains. Used individually — or occasionally together — these craft-store finds and random doodads have a way of spicing up two coats of polish.

Ahead, you’ll find nine daring nail art trends — including crushed velvet, daring ombré, and a stunning gilded French manicure —  that we predict can have their very own viral moments this fall each on the web and on you.

Within the category of “easy nail art that appears impressive,” ombré all the time comes out on top.
