As it goes, most trends start on the runway and trickle down to the masses—but beauty trends are different. Not only do they often start on Instagram or TikTok, but they come and go quicker than any fashion calendar. That said, fall’s biggest manicure trends are the next generation of what we’ve seen this summer, and include everything from an unconventional nail shape to an artful, more-is-more trend that’ll probably stay through winter.
Ahead, five fall 2022 nail trends to get in on—plus the products to get the look.
@baggesnaglar Sure, this nail shape makes just about every mundane activity impossible (read: putting your credit card into a Los Angeles parking meter will now require help from a set of portable tweezers—or a stranger). But there’s something unequivocally modern about it. I recommend you try it at least once, if only to make you appreciate your natural nail shape that much more.

@thenailplacesalon_ Embrace the ’70s takeover with a traditionally funky manicure color: brown. Both Brandon Maxwell and Michael Kors showed their fall collections on models with a chocolate brown manicure, and though the runway doesn’t always dictate nail trends, now’s a great time to experiment with the unconventional-yet-timeless color. Spice it up with a fun detail like a gemstone at the cuticle or some unexpected nail art.

@modnails There’s a reason #haileybiebernails has more than 220 million views on TikTok. In fact, LA-based nail brand Color Camp released its very own Bieber-inspired set of custom press-ons in the glitzy colorway. But the manicure that sparked thousands of recreations isn’t going anywhere for fall. In fact, the Chrome trend is just starting to pick up. While you can opt for a translucent, pearly sheen, we love adding Chrome powder atop a fall-themed color to give it a little extra unexpected glitz.

Woman with colorful french manicure The simple French manicure has enjoyed quite a resurgence in the recent past—and while there’s nothing that can truly dethrone the classic manicure, you might want something with a bit more personality. Enter: the reverse French, where the base coat takes on an unexpected color, rather than the tip. For fall 2022, greens, navy blues, and even oranges are great for the season ahead.

@nails_and_soul In the same vein, the negative space French manicure offers a fun, on-trend way to play with nail art for fall. The geometric-inspired look is perfect for anyone that wants something a little extra—but not too extra.
