These New Fall Nail Polishes Just Hit Shelves —And You’re Going to Want Them All

By Patricia Shannon
Smith & Cult
Meet this year’s batch of fall nail colors. From a moss green to a shimmery red, these polishes will have your fall nails on point all season long. Start the season off with Zoya’s subtle Presley polish. It’s a smoky, neutral taupe that can act as a transition between the summer and fall months. As the season progresses, warm things up with Smith & Cult’s Bitter Buddhist fall nail polish. It’s a flattering mossy green that’s just unexpected enough to garner plenty of imitation manicures. Just be ready to share the shade make and model—inquiring minds will want to know. Once mid-October hits, you can take advantage of the full spectrum of autumn nail polish colors. Opt for Sally Hansen’s Good as Blue for those first crisp fall days. A few of our other favorite fall colors for nails include OPI Rebel Without a Moss, Essie Knee-High Life, and Orly Just Bitten. Whatever autumn nail polish you choose, top it off with your favorite gel top coat to ensure your nails make it through the week without a chip in sight. Truth be told, these polishes will have all eyes on your fingers, so you’ll want to be in top shape.
