If you have a clean slate on your nails, it makes sense you’d want to squeeze in a fresh spritz of fun nail art for the fresh face, new manicure, or as part of your Fall bridal manicure. With Fall trends and colors maturing (barring the bright neon colors, sadly) into autumn, the attention-grabbing nail art trend of Orange Nail Art is a good opportunity to inject a little color into your beauty routine.

Whether you’ve picked up any new tools to add a hit of color and vibrancy to your nails, or prefer those glossy white or creamy gray tips, you can show off your selfier and artistic side this Fall. Orange nails are so versatile and versatile — they’re classic, ultra-feminine, cool, and edgy — and giving them some fun flare is the perfect way to switch up your typical manicure style.

If your nail art style tends to lean toward the more dramatic side (think bold stripes, polka dots, or even polka-dotted colors), you may want to opt for the dark or rather dark hue and splurge on a professional setting. Otherwise, you may opt for a darker hue and do more tips or strips to accentuate that “girly punk” vibe. The up-to-the-minute how-to tutorials below show you how to do your own sophisticated trend.

Of course, this is all just a friendly reminder that you’re halfway there — if you’d like to kick your nail art up a notch, perhaps picking up a few of these paints at your favorite nail bar.
