As a crisp chill fills the air and the fall season is upon us, the excitement for pumpkins extends beyond a pumpkin spice latte and baked goods.
The versatility of the pumpkin spice goes beyond the limitations of goodies, and drips beautifully on our nails.
While there are plenty of fall nail designs to choose from for the season, the iconic autumnal produce takes center stage throughout the season. Gourd designs can be found with Thanksgiving nail designs, and of course, pumpkins are an integral part of the Halloween spirit.
Pumpkin Nail Designs
Pumpkin spice is a base color that makes a beautiful, bold impact all on its own.
Add cute pumpkin nails, whether it be an accent nail or little pumpkins on each finger – the versatility of the pumpkin design are endless.
Whether you are looking for something bold or more subtle, find the perfect pumpkin nail art this season. Scroll below for pumpkin nail designs to wear for the fall season.
Spooky Pumpkins
The arrival of spooky season means there’s a Halloween nail design for everyone.
A jack-o-lantern design taps into the snug colors of the season with toasted orange, rust and amber tones, plus it nods to the plethora of pumpkin Halloween decorations seen in neighborhoods.
Incorporate skeletons or spiderwebs to add some detailed designs and to up the spooky vibes.
Pumpkin Tips
Another option for those looking for a unique pumpkin nail idea, but don’t love committing to full orange pumpkins- adding pumpkins to the tips is a perfect choice.
It elegantly combines pumpkin art with a neutral base to allow the pumpkins to pop.
These nail art designs are easy to complete at home.
Pumpkin tips can be created by painting two small, adjacent semi-circles at the tip of your nail. Afterwards, connect the semi-circles with a “V” shape at the bottom, and add a stem to complete the look.
Pumpkin Patch
A minimalistic, eye-catching look can be achieved by creating mini pumpkins. A shortcut to these cute fall nails is to add mini pumpkin stickers on a neutral nail design.
They can also be easily created with a few items. To create these simple pumpkin designs, you need only white, green, and orange nail polish, a dotting tool, and a thin nail art brush.
Glitter Nails
Maybe you want to add some glam to spooky nail designs? The easiest way to add a festive look to a manicure is with glitter.
The glitz associated with glitter can easily be incorporated into pumpkin-inspired manicures.
Whether it be short nails or long, glitter adds that extra oomph to any look. Add glitter to one or a few accent nails or add a glittery orange as an overlay on a Halloween-inspired design.
Autumnal Designs
The fall nail colors range from burnt orange to browns.
Not only are the colors of the season rich and inviting, but there are plenty of fall nail ideas to “fall” in love with. Add intricate details, such as leaves or florals to pumpkin nails.
