In the summer, we might prefer fresh peach cobbler with a side of Essie Ballet Slippers, but come fall it's a whole new situation. There are moody nudes, vampy reds, and a slew of other autumnal nail shades on the salon wall, just waiting to be worn to the pumpkin patch. So when summer finally falls away into the coziest of seasons, we're ready to step outside the lacquer box. Whether you're more of a pumpkin spice orange girl or a classic creamy navy gal—or into something totally unique like mossy green—these Essie nail colors are destined to take on fall 2020 in style. The question is, which one should you try first?
