October 7, 2025

Fall season is here, which means fall nail trends are officially in full swing! From warm, cozy shades to playful textures and some Halloween inspo, this year’s trends are giving all the autumn vibes. Whether you’re into dramatic looks or seasonal glam, we’ve rounded up the nail designs you’ll want to wear all season.


Ceramic & Stained Glass Nails

This fall, it’s all about stained-glass vibes. Using liquid gel builder, nail artists are creating 3D designs topped with deep red shades — giving us that luxe nails feel. If you want to give viral stained-glass nails a try, our Perception line makes it easy with its translucent jelly finish in gorgeous fall colors like “Such a Cutie” and “Hey Ruby”.

Mixed Textures

Fall brings back textural nails, using matte top coats and sugaring techniques contrasted with glossy or glittery accents. Try a red-hot marble under a matte black design for an edgy molten look.
