As we turn to the fall season, there are plenty of different shades that are perfect for the cozy season. It goes without saying, that the unofficial color of autumn is brown.

With that being said, the brown color is a no-fail shade to add to your next manicure. 

The expensive looking brown shade is nothing new and is a fall neutral go-to for many. The best part of this color, is the spectrum of shades available. There is a shade to complement everyone’s skin tones and nail lengths. 

Brown Nail Designs

Brown is the perfect shade for a subtle nail statement that is not too distracting. An ombre design is a great way to add an interesting and unique design to your nails.

If you are a minimalist at heart, try a splash of brown on the tips. Brown tips make for a contemporary twist that still remains timeless and chic with relatively minimal effort.

Scroll below for brown nail designs to wear for autumn and beyond.

Brown Shades

Brown, a chic and versatile choice, is available from light brown to dark brown. Ranging from caramel, toffee, espresso, chocolate and so many more shades, these hues are the perfect upgrade to the typical neutral color palette.

If you are not sure which shade is for you – match brown nail polish to your skin tone. 

If you have fair to medium skin tone, go for taupe. For warmer skin with yellow undertones, try caramel colors.

Swirl Nails

These trendy nails are the perfect way to incorporate different shades of brown -all swirled together- to achieve a unique nail design.

Chocolate brown paired with soft shades of brown looks rich and decadent.

The beauty of swirl nail art is that it doesn’t have to be showcased on long nails, it looks equally as chic on short nails.

Abstract Nails

There’s no denying that abstract nails are a fun design suited for all types of personal style.

A simple geometric pattern is a less conventional look, which is easy to achieve.

If you are looking for an intricate design, there are plenty of options, as well.

The best part about creative nail looks are that they are easy for everyone to achieve, as they don’t follow a single set rule in regards to the trend. Go ahead and experiment for your next fall nail set.

Marble Effect

Despite the surplus of patterns and abstract designs, there’s one nail design, in particular, that has continued to reign supreme: marble.

If you want something more elevated, a mocha color would be appropriate.

For something more attention-grabbing and bold, choose darker tones like an espresso or chocolate, to try out a unique style.

Golden Touch

There are certain touches that instant glam to a manicure. Add gold leaf foil to that list.

The pop of color adds a luxurious feel to your nail game.

Whether you add a couple of strategically placed chips to brown fall nails, or wrap all your fingernails in gilded foil, one thing is for sure: these is a regal element that is undeniable.

Glitter Nails

It’s hard to resist a touch of glitter on a manicure. Glitter has a connotation of being childish, but glitter can add a fun touch to simple brown nails.

Even the idea of minimalism and glitter can coexist. Add a touch to an accent nail or to tips for some glitz and glam.

Glitter nails stand out most when they’re against a lighter shade of brown.

Ombre style nails have been one of those nail trends that is always in style. There are so many variations on this gradient look that feel fresh for a modern manicure.

Brown ombre nail designs are perfect for a special occasion, but also a great option for an elevated, everyday manicure.
