I once painted my nails the color of existential dread. It matched the sky in November. But today, we're here to talk about something a little more cheerful—fall nail trends in Redmond, Washington.
The leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and your nails are still stuck in summer. That’s a crime. Not a real crime, but you should be arrested by the fashion police for carrying hot pink into October. At ProForm Beauty Supply, we believe every season deserves its own mood—and fall’s vibe is all about being warm, cozy, and only mildly emotionally unstable.
Here’s your guide to fall nail colors that scream, “I drink overpriced seasonal lattes and I’m emotionally available… maybe.” And yes, they’re all available right here in Redmond at your favorite beauty supply store—aka ProForm Beauty Supply. Let’s dive into this cinnamon-scented rabbit hole.
1. Pumpkin Spice and Everything… Orange?
Let’s get the obvious one out of the way. Fall without pumpkin tones is like Redmond without traffic—impossible. Shades of burnt orange, copper, and amber are the holy trinity of autumn nails.
We’re talking colors that look like they were scraped off a cinnamon stick and bottled with love… and maybe some glitter.
Top Pick: Try Valentino Beauty Pure’s “Spicy Latte” gel polish. It’s like fall in a bottle, minus the line at Starbucks.
Pro Tip: Add a matte topcoat. It turns your nail into a miniature suede jacket. A really tiny, fabulous suede jacket.
2. Moody Mauves and Dusty Rose
If colors could sigh dramatically, mauve would. It’s soft, slightly mysterious, and perfect for women who want to say, “I’m chill, but I also cry at Subaru commercials.”
Dusty rose is mauve’s cousin who went to art school and doesn’t return texts. Together, they’re perfect for fall nail palettes that lean elegant without screaming for attention.
Redmond Residents Love: OPI’s “Rosé All Day Until Further Notice.” Available in gel and dip, this one looks stunning against neutral sweaters and long walks to nowhere in particular.
3. Forest Greens: For the Subtle Witch Energy
Green isn’t just for spring anymore. Deep forest green and muted olive tones are creeping into every fall trend board like they’re part of some cozy spell-casting coven.
They’re edgy. They’re mysterious. They whisper, “I compost” while sipping chai in a haunted cabin.
Go-To Polish: Young Nails “Mystery Moss” in their Speed Powder. Sets quickly and delivers that rich, evergreen tone that says, “I hike… in theory.”
4. Dark Chocolate Brown: Edible But Don’t Try It
This is the shade of 5pm sunsets and the last piece of Halloween candy you swore you weren’t going to eat. Brown polish doesn’t get enough credit—it’s like black’s friendlier cousin who knows how to accessorize.
If you’ve never worn chocolate brown nail polish, fall in Redmond is the time to try it. It pairs beautifully with warm-toned outfits, flannel shirts, and the smell of regret from spending too much on throw pillows.
Top Seller at ProForm: Valentino Beauty Pure Acrylic System in “Cocoa Crave.” Smooth, rich, and easy to work with—even for beginners.
5. Navy and Midnight Blues: Deep Thoughts in Nail Form
Nothing says “I’m emotionally complicated” like navy blue nails. These shades are sophisticated, seasonal, and ideal for when you’re curled up binge-watching spooky movies with a bottle of wine and no intention of answering emails.
Bonus: It looks good on every skin tone. Like the denim of nail polish.
ProForm Favorite: NotPolish “Royal Night.” This shade pairs with everything. Including your seasonal depression.
