Fall’s here. Now you have the perfect excuse to try out new shades like coffee, chocolate, and caramel. These earthy hues pair beautifully with muted tones and pumpkin spice lattes. Like crunchy leaves make music, brown is the unsung hero of fall manicures. Read on to see three stunning (and surprisingly easy) brown nail designs that’ll have you celebrating your autumn makeover.
Effortless and Gorgeous Brown Nails for Fall
Fall French Tips
Instead of creamy white tips, dip your nails into chocolate. But don’t stop there. Jazz up the look with the simple addition of a single stone on each finger.
Here the artist used DND nail polish in How Do U Neutral? and Cedar Brown. Like all DND products, these colors are certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny. DND renews that certification each year for all of their 400+ colors (that are also vegan!).
Isn’t it amazing how just adding a little color and embellishment makes this classic manicure so much more interesting? If you’re hesitant about getting the smile line just right, cheat. Seriously, use a stencil or nail tape. You might also find that a silicone stamper helps. Don’t let your worry hold you back from trying something new. Fall is the time to relax and enjoy get-togethers and cooler weather. A new look will get you into the groove.
Groovy Nail Geometry
We can’t take our eyes off these short, square nails with such groovy abstract patterns. First off, the pink neutral base enhances the nails’ natural beauty. Then, we love those eye-catching two-tone tips and checkerboard accent nails. There’s such attention to detail that it’s a given that the artist must have used healthy gel nail polish.
Even though this nail art depends on patterns, the shapes are up to you. What if the checkered boxes were triangles or circles? Or if the swirly tips were side swipes? Plus, you can use a brown that complements your skin tone, whether cool, warm, or neutral.
Cowgirl Nails
Here are chocolate nails all ready for the rodeo. They have cute cow prints and cacti accents with a velvety matte finish. This is a structured manicure that the artist used to reinforce the client’s natural nails. Real cowgirls like this have working hands, but there’s no reason why short nails can’t be fun!
You’ll need a richly pigmented white polish for this design if you don’t want to redraw lines. Notice that the cactus has offset curves and varying thickness for the branches. As for the lime green sun, swap it for any shade you like, like burnt orange for a sunset feel.
If you don’t have a precision brush handy, why not decorate with nail stickers? High-quality stickers aren’t obvious once you apply a top coat. They save time and let you explore a fresh look with minimum effort.
Conclusion
What brown shades and styles will you try first? This earthy color pairs nicely with white, cream, and black, as well as other colorful hues. It’s a surprisingly versatile option that’s sure to get second glances this season.
