Call me basic, but without fail, I'm a sucker for all things pumpkin every time autumn comes around. Whether it's ordering special-menu spiced latte drinks, buying mini overpriced gourds at the grocery store, or indulging in every pumpkin loaf in sight, I say "it's fall!" as I shamelessly check out at Trader Joe's. And what better time of year than late October to embrace all things pumpkin with our manicures ?
From jack-o'-lantern hues to chrome finishes, there are so many ways to wear the autumnal mascot's signature shade. Keep scrolling for all the chic yet subtle pumpkin nail ideas to try this fall.
Toasted Pumpkin
@gel.bymegan
A slightly burnt take on classic bright orange, toasted pumpkin veers into neutral autumnal territory, making it an easy shade to wear for weeks at a time. To get the look, reach for OPI's Suzi Needs a Loch-Smith for a perfect match.
Pumpkin Chrome
@tombachik
Pumpkin chrome might just be the ultimate Halloween manicure. A silver chrome topper gives classic pumpkin orange a reflective, almost molten finish, while an orange chrome keeps things monochromatic. Both are festive enough for October 31, but chic enough to wear long after the trick-or-treating is over.
Classic Gourd
@lolo.nailedit
You can't go wrong with a classic pumpkin orange. The juicy orange that calls to mind freshly-carved jack-o'-lanterns and nostalgic trips to the pumpkin patch. It's a little bolder than your typical fall neutral, making it the ideal pick if you want your manicure to feel more playful and festive. Try Sally Hansen's Time Warmth to get the look.
Iced Pumpkin Spice
@overglowedit
Consider this your coffee order in nail polish form—pumpkin spice is for anyone who prefers their fall nails on the more neutral side. It's an ideal manicure for the last few weeks of October and to last well into Novemebr
Pumpkin Pie Aura
@avrnailswatches
Pumpkin pie nails put a decedant spin on the classic fall shade. The gradient design blends warm orange into a creamy center, creating an airbrushed effect that reminds me of pumpkin pie filling swirled into whipped cream. It's a playful way to wear the season's signature color with a little dimension.
Pumpkin Puree
@themaniclub
Pumpkin puree nails are a softer, creamier take on the festive shade. This milky orange has a smooth, almost whipped finish that feels like a pumpkin filling before it hits the oven. Essie's All Oar Nothing is a great option if you love the warmth of orange but prefer a more muted and understated manicure.
