10 Nail Polish Colors Trending for October

As much as we love our springtime pastels and summer brights, fall is all about cozy and warm hues. “If it’s the perfect color for a sweater or looks like a flavor someone wants as a latte, it’s perfect for October,” says Olive & June’s Olivia Van Iderstine—think “cozy mauve, warm, pumpkin-y burnt orange, or jammy purple.”

That’s not to say you can only rock lighter, more neutral hues: Dark jewel tones, like sapphire blue, emerald green, amethyst, and garnet are always in style for autumn. “Our favorite way to wear [dark fall tones] is short and super shiny, so don’t skip the super glossy top coat,” she says. And consider skipping the tips: A “short length makes a big statement and feels so fresh.”
