New items
Tortoise print
The tortoiseshell print is somewhat reminiscent of leopard spots, but this is not a predatory manicure option. Initially, this print appeared on the hair of fashionistas, and then smoothly transferred to the nails.
The trend has rapidly captured fashionistas from all over the world and now it acts as the main novelty for the autumn period of 2021. A tortoiseshell manicure is slightly shocking and will not suit any look, but it looks great on any length and shape of nails.
Brush strokes
A slight carelessness, as if the artist accidentally brushed a brush with paint over your nail - this is all the main component of a manicure with brush strokes. But if you look closely, you can immediately see the neatness and special idea of each stroke, which perfectly complement each other or emphasize the color of the main coating.
Nail design with strokes in autumn colors
A cool nail trick is to make a design with delicate or bold strokes of paint in contrasting colors. Neutral shades such as beige, white or gray serve as an excellent backdrop for the original pattern. And besides this, shiny decor or just rhinestones can attract attention to the nail design. They will certainly give your nails an autumnal charm.
And here’s an interesting interpretation - a design on a transparent background with pieces of gold foil, which create a cool contrast and fit harmoniously in color.
Autumn manicure for short nails
An autumn manicure for short nails should be characterized by warmth and tranquility, which is well expressed in a mulled wine and coffee manicure. These are two stunning colors, each of which is not the least popular. Coffee definitely suits any shape of short nails and will help make them visually larger than they actually are. Coffee, like no other color, emphasizes the sophistication of a manicure and is available in different shades to choose from.

Lunar manicure
A great idea for a classic manicure in the best autumn traditions is a lunar design using trendy shades for this season. Brown, emerald, burgundy and dark gray shades will look great.
Both a conservative version of this nail art and an extraordinary design of the hole are welcome. For example, you can add an image of the moon to the side or top of some nails.
Autumn manicure for medium nails
The average length of nails is especially convenient and practical. It does not cause a lot of trouble at work, as well as in other areas of our lives. Autumn manicure for medium nails suggests choosing a classic cage. But here it is possible to use classic colors together: black and white, or any others. To best match the autumn weather outside, you can choose autumn colors: burgundy, coffee, brown, black, emerald, dark blue, red, orange, warm gold, brick and terracotta.
This will allow you to create a harmonious design that suits the autumn mood. The check is allowed in different textures, with wide, narrow or double stripes. The cell can be large, medium or small, or maybe combined.
It is not recommended to decorate the cage with additional decor, stickers or designs. This can lead to a general overload of the appearance of the manicure and from stylish it will become tacky. Therefore, the rule of the golden mean works better than others here.
French manicure
Autumn manicure in French abandoned the extraordinary shape of a smile, so popular in recent seasons.
A wide smile of French manicure is a trend for autumn 2021
At the peak of popularity is the classic oval smile, but on an enlarged scale. It can easily reach the middle of the nail - this is doubly cool.
Autumn manicure for long nails
Long nails always allow you to take full advantage of their future design, because here you can do whatever your heart desires. An optimally sized field will perfectly reflect any richness of a complex pattern or design, as well as lace, which is why long nails are most often emphasized during exhibition events of professional nail design.
Lace can easily be classified as a complex pattern. In terms of execution, the design is very labor-intensive and requires filigree precision from the master in drawing out correct and clear monograms. Some types are achieved through different techniques, for which stencils or stickers may be responsible. But what is most valued in lace is the manual approach.
The lace itself can be selected in any color, with the addition of different decor. As a result, this makes it possible to select a manicure for holidays, performances and other events.

Autumn nail design with foil
Perhaps the best option for autumn manicure is nail designs with foil. They are among the top most relevant and desirable ones. Pieces of broken glass foil, metallic sliders, stripes and other geometric elements are the main touches of an autumn manicure. So, deliberately bright gold foil is a super shiny decor that simply decides everything in autumn nail design.
Deep dark tones are the perfect contrast. And shine “multiplies” the glow. Black, burgundy, blue, brown, dark green, berry tones are win-win colors for combination with foil.

The round shape of the nails is ideal for a manicure with chrysanthemum flowers. This particular flower blooms in autumn and delights us with its bright and catchy colors. Thanks to it, you will be able to remember the sunny summer with warmth, because a small piece of it will be on your nails.
Chrysanthemum comes in a wide variety of colors, allowing you to choose the color that suits your tastes. It is painted quite simply using acrylic paints, varnish, or laid out with rhinestones. For a festive manicure, the flower is decorated with rhinestones, sparkles or kamifubuki.

The designers offered the option of creating a fashionable and stylish manicure, using one large stone as an accent and several small ones as a complement.
Autumn manicure for oval nails
The popular and famous oval shape requires better highlighting with two chic manicure options: space and ombre. The space design is unusually deep, rich and contains entire galaxies. But to get a similar effect, you need to know how to do it, so it’s worth finding a first-class master to create this type of manicure. Among the colors, it often uses all shades of blue, black, silver, gold and white.
Ombre speaks for itself, because this technique has no equal in the beauty of the color transition, which is carried out smoothly and delicately. Here, two colors that are completely opposite to each other can easily be transformed into the perfect coating look. Ombre does not need additional decor or highlighting, because it is self-sufficient. Such a manicure will be much more reminiscent of summer, and its dark interpretation will fit perfectly into autumn everyday life.
#1 Fashionable shades of autumn 2021: burgundy, cherry, garnet
Let's start our review with classic autumn shades. Those with long nails can enjoy chic burgundy nail art with silver decor and rhinestones.
It is important to show the depth and charm of rich dark red tones. Use decor to a minimum, limit yourself to broths, colored or silver rhinestones. In the photo below you will find several current nail art for fall 2021.
Autumn manicure with
With leaves
The autumn season cannot be complete without a stylish leaf design. The undisputed classic among leaves is maple. It is most often chosen for images on nails, where its appearance does not differ from the real leaf. It is often combined with other autumn attributes, for example, rain, raindrops, umbrellas, wet asphalt, trees, etc.
But the maple leaf is not the only solution for a manicure with leaves, so here you can choose any, but the main thing is to stick to the autumn mood and theme. This can be expressed in the overall design, or the use of suitable paint tones. The good thing about the design with leaves is that it will look equally good on short, medium and long nails, as well as on any shape. Thanks to these properties, it is not without reason that it has been called the most versatile choice for the autumn period.
With an umbrella
An original and very thematic design of an umbrella on the nails is a first-class solution for the autumn season. An umbrella is depicted on the nail in any form: closed, open, wet, in a person’s hands, with animals, leaves, flowers or patterns. Anything that a master’s hand can create, or suitable stickers, will be relevant here.
Frequent designs include a folded and open wet umbrella with water dripping from it. The design of such a manicure inevitably evokes coolness, but very accurately reflects the mood of autumn, especially in its second half. If you add a few catchy decorations to the design, which are especially bright and shiny, then the coating will not be so dull, but on the contrary, it will be able to amuse. Often, classic French jackets are decorated with umbrellas, in particular open ones. As a result, this gives a stylish and special look to the manicure, where it automatically becomes not as simple as before.
With rowan
A very feminine and elegant rowan manicure will not leave anyone indifferent. After all, it is made with the addition of dark, warm and soul-warming colors, and also fits harmoniously into the autumn season. Here the artist depicts bunches of rowan berries, which may contain large and juicy orange berries. The clusters are drawn separately or in combination with other foliage and trees.
Rowan is often depicted in a general theme and carries some meaning. The berry is quite easy to draw, so even a beginner can depict it realistically, as if it were natural.
The only rule involves the correct highlighting of the nail pattern. Rowan should not be present on everyone at once, so as not to overload the overall look, but, on the contrary, to attract and surprise. For this, craftsmen use a pattern together with a monochromatic coating of a suitable color. And the nail itself, on which the design will be painted, is painted a different color in order to make it stand out among others.
With drops
Special attention should be paid to manicure with raindrops, which is very, very suitable for any autumn. It is not uncommon that it can be combined with an umbrella design, but in particular, drop manicure is considered a self-sufficient type of manicure. By the way, it is quite common in other seasons of the year, but it is most suitable for autumn.
In autumn 2021, any image of droplets and in a wide variety of colors is allowed. There may even be rainbow smudges, as if someone spilled liquid and it flowed, leaving wet paths behind it. This is an amazing and unusual design that will attract special attention to your nails. If you follow a pure autumn theme, then it is better to choose suitable colors of gel polish or varnish for the main coating of the nails, and paint the drops themselves with a transparent varnish or gel. Instead, you can use rhinestones, stones and foil.
With foil
Foil is a universal accessory for nails, which is available for sale in different forms. It can be sold in rolls, strips, already cut into pieces, or crumbs. It comes in a variety of colors, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your base coat.
The foil is glued onto the remaining gel, which is then dried and covered with a finishing base. This will prevent the foil from being torn off, since all the sharp corners will be hidden under the gel and finish. Foil perfectly decorates any varnish. It brings something original and surprising to the design and has no equal in its properties. It is very easy to work with, so it is suitable for decorating nails at home.
Foil is the main element in the design of a broken glass manicure, where a clear and competent assembly technique must be observed. Broken glass always amazes with its beauty, complexity of execution, but spectacular results.
With a fox
A cute and delicate manicure with a fox will delight you with its charm. It is quite easy to draw it by hand, where you can get by with just a silhouette, which ultimately makes it possible for novice artists to use the drawing. The fox can be represented in a cute and cartoonish way, or in a more realistic and natural way.
The main advantage of the fox drawing is its bushy tail. She can hug herself with her tail, or position it as desired by the master’s imagination. It’s not uncommon for such designs to move from one nail to another, which is very beautiful. The fox is complemented with various rhinestones, sparkles and combined with other designs and patterns. If you don’t know how to draw at all, then fox stickers will help you. Accordingly, this design is not suitable for decorating all nails at once, but only one selected one or a pair. Since the drawing is very self-sufficient, it will quickly become redundant if used too often.
With glitter
A shiny manicure will fit well into autumn everyday life, where there is just not enough sparkle, joy and sunshine. To create a soft illusion of sunny color, gold glitter is ideal. Like molten gold, they can immediately cover all your nails, which will attract increased attention to your manicure.
Universal sparkles are gold, silver and holographic. The third option is a little capricious, but in general all three are in perfect harmony with different design techniques and varnish color. Glitter is easy to purchase, the price is very cheap, and the choice of colors is simply huge. Glitter can be mixed with varnishes before applying to the nail, or you can cover the finished coating with them. They are suitable for drawing different patterns, designs, lace, and also as an addition to a French manicure and other types of manicure.
With stickers
Stickers were not invented in vain, because thanks to them, the time needed to create a manicure is significantly reduced. Moreover, they make it possible to independently make beautiful drawings at home that cannot be distinguished from those made by hand. Many craftsmen in salons do not have an artistic education and do not know how to draw at all, so stickers will help out in many cases where manual participation is required only in correct gluing.
There are different types of stickers on sale, including simple and very complex ones, which are suitable for highlighting one nail, but not all of them at once. Other smaller and more discreet ones can perfectly decorate all ten nails, but at the same time they will not overload the overall look of the manicure.
Matte manicure
The noble matte design is no less popular than the glossy one. The fashionable matte coating on the surface of the nails invariably attracts the attention of others with its unusual texture. This option is suitable for a confident and stylish owner. A certain protest against “ordinariness” is inherent in the perception of matte manicure and emphasizes the character of a fashionista with her own opinion. Matte nail design has the ability to harmoniously combine severity and femininity; stylists consider it as a successful everyday nail art. Matte nails are a recognized trend for the fall 2021 season.
The main things to consider when choosing this manicure:
- careful grooming of the skin in the nail area; extremely high-quality varnish application;
- the ideal length of nails is long or medium, give up the idea of doing short nails;
- gel polish with matte shades, unlike glossy varieties, “peels” off the nail faster, so protect matte nails from the effects of detergents and cleaning agents, do not forget about gloves when doing housework;
There are many concepts for matte nail polish. Even the simplest, single-color gel polish has won its supporters thanks to its brevity and extraordinary texture. Fashion trends have brought many looks that combine the originality of matte texture with glossy and marble surfaces, with geometric, lace and ornamental prints. The cold season 2021 is focused on rich, thick tones. Autumn matte moon manicure with rhinestones, stones and kamifubuki in the holes looks mysterious and impressive. Sometimes their inclusions, even in the most limited quantities, can enhance the mysterious effect of a new item.
The nail design with matte varnish in the photos selected by our magazine gives an idea of the general trends in the development of nail art.
