Every single year, I get extremely excited for fall nail trends. Like, I create a whole ass calendar. The first week of September? My deep-green press-on nails. Then, I’ll head to my technician approximately 10 days later for some cutesy fall nail art. And trust: I’ve already got a full list of Halloween nail ideas to choose from. Seriously, curating my nail lewks is practically a full-time job. Which is why I took detailed notes during fashion month last spring of what to expect for the biggest 2023 fall nail trends.

The return of the rockstud, minimalist nail ideas, and major chrome-nail looks. Don’t worry—I’ve got all the best fall nail ideas and designs below, bb:
