Fashionista: The notion of season-specific nail color rules is, like most beauty “rules,” outdated, best ignored and probably somehow a result of the patriarchy. When it comes to manicures, the only “rule” worth paying attention to is simple: You do you. But that doesn’t mean you can’t also embrace trends or lean into hues that feel particularly festive for certain times of year.

…

This fall, the color story is of the “anything goes” variety. “We’re seeing a lot of ’70s-inspired Earth tones and neutrals,” says Jin Soon Choi, nail expert and the founder of Jin Soon Hand & Foot Spa in New York City. From muted, dusty pastels to stone grays, Choi considers these “perfect shades that are subtle and effective,” but also “cool, moody and edgy.”

…

Olive green is also among the “most-wanted” nail polish shades for autumn, per Choi. In fact, “edible” and imbibe-able tones in general are having a moment: We’re also going to see a whole lot of wine-soaked burgundy, punchy green apple and creamy chocolate milk.

…

As for other nail trends worth taking for a spin, Choi points to French tips as the standout look of the season; for a less expected take on it, try using any combination of the color trends for a nontraditional French.
