Fall nails designs bring a whole world of possibilities. The season sees us through cozy wine-filled evenings, crisp sweater mornings, apple-picking adventures, and the excitement of a new year just around the corner—meaning there’s no shortage of styles to try.
Of course, there are the classic nudes, blacks, and deep reds, plus metallics (which are all back for another year), but we’ve also seen some curveballs enter the arena, with tortoiseshell nails, Beetlejuice-inspired manis, and some cool chrome picks you wouldn’t expect for fall 2024.
So, whether your vibe is chic or minimal, spooky or cutesy, or perhaps a combo of everything, here are 12 fall 2024 nail designs to add to your mood board.

The Beetlejuice sequel might have been a disappointment, but that doesn’t mean you can’t channel your inner Beetlejuice with the film’s classic striped look. It’s Halloween, you’re allowed to live a little.

We all love a marble kitchen design. But have you tried this marble mani look for your nails? There’s just something about it that screams cold-weather appropriate, so don’t skip it.
