As the leaves begin to change colour, it’s time for our nails to do the same! From maroon hues to glass nails, the biggest autumn nail trends for 2024 are chic and easy to pull off. Want to know more? You’ve come to the right place. Before we get into colours, what about shape? Almond nails are the go-to shape for AW24, an elegant rounded oval that elongates the finger and gives space to show off your mani. Whether you’re a fan of bold bright hues or understated tones, check out my run-down of the top five autumn nail trends for 2024.

What Are 2024’s Biggest Autumn Nail Trends?

Espresso Tones

Move over, classic reds – this autumn is all about deep, luxurious browns. From milk chocolate to dark espresso, these warm hues are perfect for the cosy season ahead. The latte makeup trend that’s been sweeping TikTok has extended to nails, with coffee-inspired shades taking centre stage.

Metallic Manis

Shimmering, reflective nails are making a big comeback this season. The fall 2024 runways showcased a variety of metallic looks, from classic golds and silvers to more unexpected champagne tones. At Mithridate AW24, the classic french mani was updated with striking gold tips, while dramatic metallic nails were the order of the day at The Blonds.

Elevated French Manicure

Speaking of a modern twist on a classic French manicure, AW24 calls for a more creative take on the look. Work an androgynous vibe with micro French tips or update the look with an unexpected colour combination. At PatBO’s AW24 show, models wore a cool-girl polished French manicure with seasonal black tips.

Glass Nails

Following the chrome nail trend of recent seasons, glass nails are set to be huge as an autumn nail trend for 2024. Think an ultra-glossy, reflective finish that mimics the look of glass (obviously!). A milky white hue can be finished with a high shine top coat or a touch of chrome for a mirror gloss finish. Head to the salon and opt for a high-shine gel mani to ensure a professional result.

Modern Red

Maroon nails are one of the biggest autumn nail trends for 2024, tapping into the wider burgundy moment happening in fashion right now. Look to Dilara Findikoglu’s London AW24 show for inspiration or you can shop directly from the runway by investing in the Prabal Gurung X Kiss press-ons that the models walked the runway in.
