Rich burgundy and hints of gold create an elegant and slightly glamorous look for autumn. This is perfect for an elevated ensemble.

Gradient nails with gold details

If you can’t choose your favorite when it comes to fall colors, opt for a beautiful gradient design like this one. I love the gold foil for a playful and eye-catching touch.

Chunky glitter + floral nail art

For a fun and feminine design, thick glitter in combination with floral nail art is always worthwhile. This nail design has a subtle fall aesthetic, but is still so cute!

Matte espresso nails with leaf art + gold

I love espresso colored nail polish for fall! This warm, rich shade is so beautiful and timeless, while the botanical art and gold details add a modern twist.

Minimal fall mani

If you like clean and minimal nail designs, opt for short, solid colored nails like the ones above. I love the obvious Thanksgiving aesthetic, but it also works for everyday looks in the fall.

Acorns & leaf art

If you want a cute fall mani with a perfect theme, simple acorn art is a great choice. I recommend this design if you want something sophisticated yet playful and unique.

Shiny brown + white autumn nails

Add a touch of brightness to dark fall nails with white nail polish. These Thanksgiving nails have a beautiful, striking contrast and are so timeless.

Simple bows + fall nail polish

Whether you want a simple, girly aesthetic or are a novice nail DIYer, chocolate brown nails with bow accents are one of my top picks for chic yet minimal fall nails.

Graceful floral pattern

Dainty retro-inspired floral art painted along the nail tips is bold, fun and perfect for an elegant, youthful aesthetic.

Autumn waves

Beige, cocoa, and espresso waves can add effortless fall vibes to any outfit you wear this Thanksgiving.

Brown tips and autumn flowers

I think delicate botanical nail stickers in beautiful fall colors are perfect for taking classic French fall tips to the next level.

Brown + pastel combination

You can rock lighter shades in the fall by opting for earth tones. And I love the accents of deep, rich brown here to add subtle contrast while maintaining a cohesive look.

Checkered and glitter mani

Plaid will always be in style in the fall! I love how the glitter works with this timeless print for a modern and feminine aesthetic.

Tips for animal prints

I recommend classic animal prints in warm tones for a fun, bold look this fall. Whether you choose animal print tips or an accent nail, this pattern is ideal for a fall mani.

Chocolate Brown + Caramel Waves

I love the hints of nude polish and caramel waves combined with creamy and dreamy chocolate brown. These nails are one of my favorite picks for a simple, stunning look.

Fall coquette nails

The combination of beautiful glittering tips and playful bow art creates an understated yet undeniably chic coquette aesthetic for Thanksgiving!

Turtle shell + gold foil

Tortoiseshell print and gold foil make a beautiful combination that comes together for elegant yet fun Thanksgiving nails. I love the rich brown used here, but any shade of brown will do.

Beige, Camel + Espresso Nail Design

Asymmetrical tips and inverted Frenchies create a simple yet sophisticated look. I definitely recommend mixing different fall shades together, like in the mani above, for a visually interesting aesthetic.

Playful Thanksgiving Nails

Whether you love pumpkin pie or just love a fall-inspired collage nail design, this is definitely a great choice for Thanksgiving nails!

Burgundian beauty

A classic manicure is a tried-and-tested choice and perfect for an elegant holiday look. I recommend a beautiful burgundy polish for a subtle feminine touch.

Warm earth tones pair perfectly with chic boho art for a playful and free-spirited Thanksgiving mood. Don’t forget the gold foil for a refined touch!

Autumn tones + floral accents

If you want to stick with fall tones but still want a bright look to your mani, pair classic orange and brown together. This combo is perfect for a bold fall aesthetic.

Cream, Beige + Brown

Cream is another beautiful color that is perfect as a light shade on fall nails. I love the mix of different brown shades here, creating a subtle ombre look in this floral design.

Elegant Thanksgiving Nails

Soft beige nude with cream, gold and delicate botanical nail stickers are such an elegant combination. I suggest a design like this for a stylish look this Thanksgiving.

Autumn gradient

Gradient French tips are simple and perfect for both everyday looks and holiday ensembles. I love the warm palette here, but use the fall colors you love.

Dark classic mani

An almost black brown shade is so cool and yet timeless. This nail design is ideal if you like simple and classic aesthetics.

Pastel + gold pumpkins

If you love pumpkin nail art but want a softer look, I recommend choosing pastel orange and pairing it with gold accents. It’s chic and effortless, and fantastic for Thanksgiving.

Oatmeal + cocoa nails with hearts

Heart nail art is one of my favorite additions to a cute and feminine mani. These details add a fun feel to classic, warm Thanksgiving nails.

Beige nude

While I love dark fall shades, beige nude still adds seasonal appeal here and can elevate any Thanksgiving ensemble.

Simple bronze manicure

Bronze is an excellent alternative to gold for a warm metallic shade with an autumn theme. Whether you make it into a star or use it for accents, you can’t go wrong adding it to your Thanksgiving nails.

Hot chocolate Mani

Creamy milk chocolate nail polish is a top choice when it comes to simple brown fall nails and especially for a holiday like Thanksgiving.

Pastel pink + burgundy bows

I suggest pairing soft pink with burgundy if you want a cute and girly flirty design that still feels appropriate for Thanksgiving! These shades complement each other so well and provide a beautiful contrast.

Autumn green + white botanical art

I love the bright look of this soft green and white polish, and these lighter shades definitely work for a beautiful and elegant fall mani. This is also a good choice if you prefer muted and matte tones.

Retro autumn nails

If you ask me, warm browns, checkerboard art, and playful prints are a perfect combination for retro-inspired Thanksgiving nails.

Thanksgiving nails with copper accents

Copper accents add a bright and alluring appeal to these simple, sophisticated botanical nails. I love the warm, muted feel of this metallic shade, making it a must for statement Thanksgiving nails.

Leaves + Geodes with gold foil

I love this minimal, nature-inspired design. White and gold are a bright and striking combination, and the neutral look makes it a great match for any look.

Stylish and warm Thanksgiving nails

A soft camel shade is one of my favorite choices for a classic manicure. It’s bright yet warm and perfect for fall! Use this color on short or long nails for an elevated look.

Chrome Cocoa Polish + Brown Glitter

Chrome is perfect all year round, and this metallic cacao mani is proof! I love the accents of dark brown glitter for a bolder aesthetic, but chrome is beautiful on its own if you prefer.

Short Thanksgiving Nails

You can easily add an alluring look to a short Thanksgiving mani with nails that feature light accents, printed details and a touch of glitter.

Frenchies + Flowers

I love how the floral designs match the lines of the asymmetrical Frenchies, making this a chic, playful and stylish choice for Thanksgiving nails.

Shiny brown mani

A high gloss top coat is an easy way to add that something extra to a simple and classic solid colored manicure. And this works whether you choose light or dark autumn shades.
