The New Neutral Nail Polish Everyone Will Be Wearing This Fall

Pale pink isn't the only option.

Right now, anyone who's in denial that fall is officially here is doing whatever they can to hold onto summer. Whether it's burning beachy coconut-scented candles while working from home or refusing to give up coral and pale pink nail manicures.

Even if you're not into pumpkin spice, there are other seasonal color schemes that just might turn you into a fall person...kind of.

Enter brown nail polish, a chic nail polish color that's equally, if not more, delicious than a PSL.

"Brown's rich and earthy tones make it very versatile, whatever your style may be," says CND brand ambassador and award-winning nail professional Winnie Huang. "There’s a little bit of classic, punk, and party in everyone’s style — and any shade of brown is definitely the perfect way to express that."

While you should always wear whatever nail polish color speaks to you, if you do want a brown shade that enhances your skin tone, Huang recommends looking to the jewelry you wear when sifting through all of the options.

"Is the jewelry in your collection more silver or gold? If gold, then you lean towards warmer tones; cooler tones if silver."

Ahead, inspiration for your own brown manicures, plus the best nail polish shades to DIY this fall nail trend.
