Fall Nail Trends 2024

Nails are really having their moment right now, from viral designs to new hues, the art of mani/pedis is finally getting the love it deserves. Clients are always looking for the next big nail trend - and we’ve got you covered, from Merlot to toe. Read on to find out the hottest nail trends of fall 2024.
 

Metallics

How do you easily add a touch of glamor to any manicure? Metallics! From gleaming silver to shimmering bronze, metallic nail polish brings light and luxury to your client’s look. Try pairing metallics with matte textures or use them as accents in nail art!

OPI’s Metallic Mega Mix collection has everything you need for the perfect Metallic mani.
 

Cool French

The updated French manicure trend has been at the top of our list for a few seasons now, and for good reason. With this twist on the classic French mani, anything goes. Swap out the traditional white tips for a bold blue, stunning silver or even show off some fun nail art.
 

Chrome

Hello, glazed donut nails? Time for a fall update. With a mirror-like sheen, chrome nails give that glazed, pearly finish that upgrades any look. Try a futuristic silver or copper chrome for a standout look. Pro tip! For an instant chrome look, try Gelish’s Chrome Stix!
 

Clear French Tips

Think of a classic french manicure, but in reverse. The tip of the nail that’s usually an opaque white, is now a clear glossy polish, while the rest of the nail is a striking color. The polish is just as important as the maintenance - pay special attention to the cleanliness of the tip for a perfectly-polished look.
 

Moody Ballet Core

Graceful, yet dramatic. It’s “Black Swan” in a manicure - bows, diamonds, lace, dark reds, moody gray or black, metallic finishes. A perfect way to show off your nail art skills, or incorporate some 3D charms!
 

Gradient Stiletto

This trend took over NYFW 2024, and it’s making its way into salons and studios for fall! Gradient stiletto features a seamless transition from one hue to another, starting at the tip and ending at the base. The stiletto shape intensifies the ombre effect, adding depth and dimension to your client’s nails.
 

Coquette

Very cutesy, very demure! Coquette nails offer a playful and girly vibe, with soft colors and charming details like nail charms or art. Think delicate patterns like bows or polka dots, even a hint of sparkle.
 

Oat Milk Latte

The shades of the delicious drink are the inspo for this nail trend, but the fun doesn’t have to stop there. Start with a base that reflects the gradient of a latte - light brown to deep, then add in 3D swirls and designs that mimic that of latte art.
 

Gold

The Olympics may be over, but we’re still going for gold. This opulent hue ranges from soft, buttery tones to deep, luxurious shades. It can serve as a bolder, brighter alternative to a neutral color, and can be upgraded with a Chrome or Metallic finish.
 

Black Cherry

Deliciously dramatic, black cherry is the color to try this fall. This rich, dark shade blends the intensity of black with the vibrant undertones of cherry red. The reigning queen of Black Cherry? OPI’s “Black Cherry Chutney nail polish”.
 

Sheer Pink

Less of a trend, more of a classic! Sheer pink is the go-to for a refined, natural look. This subtle shade offers just a hint of color, which should be suited to your client’s skin tone. It’s perfect for those who prefer a low-key, yet chic mani or pedi.
 

Merlot

Inspired by the rich hues of red wine, merlot nails capture the deep, velvety tones of the season. It’s the sultrier sister to a classic red mani, and a must-try in cooler months. It also makes for a beautiful base with metallic nail art!
 

Deep Mauve

Deep mauve is like the nail equivalent to your favorite sweater - a cozy hue that combines the warmth of mauve with deeper, darker undertones. The color typically features a rich base with subtle purple or brown accents. It’s a chic alternative to classic Fall hues. We love China Glaze’s “Below Deck”.
 

Sparkly Espresso

“Espresso” might have been a summer hit…but that doesn’t mean we’re leaving it there! This deep brown shade is infused with shimmer or finished with chrome, giving it the perfect update for fall nails.
 

Classic Red

Classic Red remains a staple year round, but something about it in the fall hits different. With a vibrant, bold hue, it’s the ultimate confidence mani or pedi. Try Morgan Taylor’s “Hot Rod Red” or OPI’s “Big Apple Red”!
 

Aura Nails

Aura nails aren’t going anywhere anytime soon! This trend involves creating a halo effect around the nails, often using a gradient of soft, iridescent colors that mimic the glow of an aura. Use an airbrush tool to help flawlessly give your client an out-of-this-world manicure.
