The Nail Trends Here To Stay For Autumn 2025

It’s officially spooky season, and we’ve got no shortage of gorgeous nail ideas that you can rock this season.

Here are just a few of the nail trends that are sure to make a mark this autumn.

Polka Dots

This classic pattern is making its rounds once again. Why not keep it simple and classy with a polka dot french tip? Or if you’re feeling a bit braver, go full coverage polka. Either way, it looks like this timeless pattern is going to continue dominating the nail scene this season.

Cat Eye

This modern look can spice up any block colour nail. This metallic trend looks amazing on dark, autumnal colours like brown and dark red.

Tortoise Shell 

We’ve seen this luxurious, expensive looking pattern on sunglasses, belts, bags, and now, nails. The warm blend of browns, golds and blacks makes this the perfect autumn look!

Dark Brown

You really can’t go wrong with a dark block colour for the colder seasons, and if pure black is a little too harsh for you, then brown might just be the perfect choice.

Deer Print 

For the more eccentric girlies out there, deer print is slowly becoming the new leopard print. It’s light, it’s adorable, and it’s undeniably very autumn-coded. Similar to the polka dot trend, you’re likely to see deer print being combined into a french tip, but it’s just as cute all across the nail!

Glazed

A sister of the cat eye effect, a glazed nail is another perfect way to make that block colour a little more eye-catching. There are different glaze effects, the most common ones giving your nails a glassy or chrome look.
