Fall floral nails bring a cozy kind of bloom to your fingertips. It’s not just the leaves that are changing. Favorite autumn shades make for a golden hour garden that’s perfect to wear on crisp days. Let’s explore floral nail ideas for fall that will put a thrill back into your manicure!
Fall Floral Nails
Sheer Fall Nails
Create a layered floral masterpiece with cat eye polish and pearls. The base color comes from a LAVIS Pat Pat Gel palette of highly pigmented polishes designed for ombre looks and painting intricate details. Next, the shimmery cat eye is one of the sheer shades from the LAVIS Hallowed Solstice collection. The artist shaped the shiny bits with a multi-use magnet that forms diverse patterns.
The pretty petals are courtesy of a wedge-shaped brush that makes painting flowers a breeze. After attaching tiny pearls and metallic accents, the artist finished with LAVIS Diamond Top. Now this lucky person has a sheer autumn set that goes with everything.

What’s in Style This Fall?
If you missed the fashion shows, here’s a quick recap of what’s in style this autumn. Much of the nail world has been closely following the quiet luxury trend along with classically elegant styles. This includes a focus on neutral shades and brown, especially with Pantone declaring that Mocha Mousse is the Color of the Year.
But overall, the trends are influenced by the wearer’s personality, whether you’re a minimalist or a maximalist. Or even if you switch back and forth! What matters is finding inspiration and joy in what you wear.
It’s always fun to match nails to clothing and accessories. We saw that lace is having a big moment, while at the same time women are enjoying a dressed-down, outdoors in the country trend. It might be fun to design fall floral nails to suit barn jackets, plaid, and rubber boots!
On the bright side, red patent leather and fake fur are also trending upward. And the most playful style of all is fashion’s current interest in clashing color combos. Now’s the ideal time to splash pistachio, mocha, red, goldenrod, and pink side-by-side in a gorgeous garden on your nails.
Fall Nails That Bloom
Summer is ending so now you can let those short nails grow out. They were practical for outdoor activities, but now it’s time to have fun with longer lengths. Ease into the transition with soft gel tips and bright autumn colors. There’s still plenty of time to enjoy vibrant nails before the weather gets colder.
This is a hand-painted floral nails design, but you could just as easily stamp it or use decals. Take note of the matte finish – does it suit you, or do you prefer a glossy shine?

Mocha and Cream Petals
Finally, it’s time to enjoy hot drinks again. Let’s celebrate with coffee-colored flowers on our fingertips! This set is doable with a dotting pen. It doesn’t take long to dress up a few nails with fall flowers.

Ghosts With Flowers on Their Heads
Cute ghosts and pumpkins are an unavoidable part of fall nail art. Here they are joined by chrome petals and hand-painted blooms. We especially love the little flowers on the wee ghosties’ heads! This fun French manicure has tempted us to try something new for our fall floral nails.
Metallic Foliage
Check off the style boxes by combining chrome and texture for a fall foliage manicure. This one’s for pure inspiration as it technically doesn’t contain flowers. But it would be simple to sculpt them before adding the chrome overlay. Would you stick with burgundy on the matte nails or choose a different autumn shade? Chaun Legend’s new gel collection is packed with tempting colors.

Simple Sunflowers
Sunflowers are in bloom at the end of summer. Celebrate this milestone with a cheerful sunflower manicure for fall. It makes the most out of the still warm days before we hit the frosty nights.
If you haven’t got the time to draw fall floral nails by hand, we have a solution. Our sticker selection has many flowers to choose from.
Beaded Flower Nails for Fall
The unique art of San Sung Kim shines here to inspire you to new heights. She created this incredible beaded burgundy set of glass nails. Can you imagine the compliments you’d get with something similar?
Black Floral Nails
The artist file these under “spooky”, but perhaps that’s because of the black background. The tropical flowers feel elegant, and they aren’t even scary to craft. Products like LAVIS Satin Carving Gel make it straightforward to shape petals like these.

Retro Autumn Floral Nails
It feels like cat eye polish can dress up any design. Take this vintage-style floral pattern, for example. It’s silhouetted on top of the shimmer like decorations on crushed velvet.
Can you picture a similar look stamped onto other cat eye shades? What would be your preferred palette of fall colors?
Textured Fall Flower Nails
Although fuzzy nails are niche, texture is one of the hot fashion trends this year. We don’t see how anyone can resist running their fingers over these fall floral nails! Be sure to stock up on matte top coat because it’s one of the easiest ways to shake up the textures in a set.
