Posted on 5 September 2026

It doesn't matter that there are still a few weeks left to welcome autumn, our mood It is clearly autumnal already. Between back to school and all the news beauty that are arriving to us, it is normal that we have already left the summer season behind us. At the moment, we already know which will be some of the nail colors that will be most requested in beauty salons and that we will undoubtedly wear throughout the month of September.

The 2026 nail trends remain calm and without excesses, but soft and delicate tones will coexist with intense and deep tones. The classic colors of autumn are the most elegant and those that bring a luxurious elegance to the hands. Reds, grays or browns are some examples of what this fall has in store for us.

Natural and delicate pink

As we said, the light and natural tones are maintained, only they will coexist with more intense ones. Soft pink is one of the colors that never fails, because it manages to give a touch of creamy color, and at the same time unify the nail with a healthy appearance. Ideal for full manicures or French manicures.

Bordeaux to add elegance

We cannot deny that year after year burgundy becomes one of our favorite nail colors. Specifically this fall, burgundy and burgundy tones will be popular, but with an ultra-shiny finish that reminds us of the luminosity of cherries.

The classic red that always illuminates

There is a game going on among the classic shades of manicures, and this year the red that was most successful in manicures in the 90s is once again the most sought after. It is an elegant red, without orange or burgundy nuances, simply red. Now in autumn it regains all its prominence and if we add a top coat finishing glow We will achieve an extra impeccable shine.

Deep chocolate brown

Brown on nails is worn in all its versions but when autumn arrives the first one that appears is chocolate brown. It is an intense and neutral color that exudes elegance and makes hands look very stylish. But we also do not lose sight of other browns such as: spicy brown, mocha or cinnamon brown.

Sky gray, the most beautiful cold tone

Another of the tones that sneaks in this fall is gray. But we are not talking about any tone of gray but rather the one that has a bluish point. This one reminds us of those autumn skies that get cold and dark. It is a fresh alternative to other shades, and it is undeniable that it is a very pretty and attractive nail color.

green autumn tale

When we observe the tones that autumn leaves us in its landscape, green has a lot of prominence, specifically intense and cold green. It is a mysterious tone, like the pine forests that remind us of winter stories. Manicures in this green color become elegant, sophisticated and very visual.
