When the weather cools down, nail colors get richer. Fall is the season for chocolate browns, deep wines and warm nudes that go with sweaters, boots and everything in between. Here are ten shades we're reaching for this season, and how to wear them.
1. Chocolate #349
A true chocolate brown that flatters every skin tone. If you only try one brown this fall, make it this one. Two coats give full, glossy coverage.
2. Expresso #359
Deeper and moodier than Chocolate, Expresso reads almost black in low light and rich brown in the sun. It's perfect for short, squared nails.
3. Cacao Lover #360
Classic, sexy and a little mysterious. Cacao Lover sits between a milk and a dark chocolate, so it works just as well at the office as on a night out.
4. Love Merlot #285
A best-selling wine red with a creamy, glossy finish. If brown isn't your thing, a deep red is the other fall classic.
5. Madly Mahogany #25
A reddish-brown that balances gloss and depth. Mahogany is the bridge between red and brown, which makes it easy to wear for anyone.
6. Mahogany Bean #28
Just in time for pumpkin-spice season: a shiny polish with a tinge of maroon and a hint of red.
7. Toffee Coffee #01
Want a softer fall look? This caramel nude is on the lighter side but still delivers on the brown promise.
8. Camel #358
A warm camel nude that looks just as good on toes as on fingers. Pair it with neutral knits for a quiet-luxury look.
9. Light Olive #363
Somewhere between dark foliage and gray sage, olive is the unexpected fall shade that still feels earthy and wearable.
10. Midnight #357
A sophisticated dark gray for anyone who wants something moody without going all the way to black.

How to make fall shades look their best
- Start with a base coat. Dark pigments can stain natural nails. A base like Thirsty Nails adds a protective layer.
- Apply thin coats. Two thin coats dry faster and look more even than one thick coat.
- Clean up the edges. Deep colors show every slip, so keep a small brush dipped in remover handy.
- Seal it. Finish with Dry Me Fast for shine and quicker drying.
