Right now, you may still be salvaging the last of your summer nail polish, draining the final dregs at the bottom of your bottle of borderline-white pale pink or Bikini So Teeny. But for your next DIY manicure, you're definitely thinking something more seasonal...
With September days away, we've already started to tap into those fall nail-polish trends — and luckily, the colors coming into focus are fresher than ever. According to the pros, we'll be seeing new takes on neutrals like tortoiseshell brown, olive green, and slate gray, plus rich red wine and navy tones for those craving a darker mani-pedi.
Ahead, all the fall polishes to add to your collection ASAP.
We’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. .

Red Wine
You may have already traded your Aperol spritz for Merlot or Cabernet, and your fingertips are prepped for a similar color swap. "I'm predicting we'll see a lot of burgundy shades this fall," says celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik. "The new red-wine shade from OPI's Milan collection is a beautiful rich shade that's deep, but warmer than the classic Lincoln Park After Dark."

Silver Glitter
To complement the richness of burgundy, Bachik recommends grabbing a neutral glitter nail polish. "Glitter polish is great because it's versatile; it can be worn alone, over a base color, or as part of a nail-art look," he says. We're partial to this metallic silver holographic tone from Pear Nova.

Olive Green
Editorial nail artist Betina Goldstein tells us that green nail polish makes for an unexpectedly chic manicure. "Earthy green tones are always in style," she says. This khaki olive from Essie's latest fall collection, Heart of the Jungle, is one of the most nuanced shades we've seen.

Tortoiseshell Brown
Last winter, dark chocolate brown was a big celebrity manicure trend (endorsed by Kendall Jenner). But this fall, we'll see browns lightened up a bit for a warmer hue, the perfect complement to the tortoiseshell frames on your blue-light glasses.

Slate Gray
The sweet spot between black and white, a slate gray polish is the go-to for when you can't decide on a color. Consider a moody, smoky, cool gray — both soft and edgy, it will pair well with every fall outfit.

Glossy Navy
When you're looking for something fashion-forward, you can't go wrong with a fresh navy blue. Since your go-to bottle has likely been benched for months (and may have dried out), we'd recommend ordering this gold-capped Mischo bottle (a shade in homage to New York Fashion Week), which is the ideal combo of dark blue with glassy shine.

Dusty Rose
When you want a pink that's not a sheer blush or neon situation, go with a sophisticated mauve rose from the Olive & June fall collection.
