Almond latte
The most November manicure you can think of is certainly a dark chocolate brown with creme accents, which calls for a hot latte with splashes of milk on a cold end-of-fall day. Seasonal nails are all about the mood and vibe!

Glossy olives
Olive green is one of those colors that should be worn with attitude and the right amount of sass. For your end-of-fall manicure, a coffin shape and a glossy coat of olive nail polish will hit the spot so good!

Icy grey
Winter is coming, and we are already beginning to feel it in the icy cold mornings. So, let’s mark the transition with some simple November nails in a sparkly grey shade that reflects some blue accents as well.

Brown ombre
Simplicity and class go a long way when it comes to your manicure. Play with your favorite shades of brown to create this ombre effect concentrated on the tips of a short base, to make sure all of your November outfits are complemented by your nails.

November nail art
Burgundy nail designs are a must in the fall season, so it only makes sense to go for a playful nail art with polka dots, stars, and a silver spiral. And because we want to balance things out, the nude base is a must.

November nails
Transition from the fall browns to the icy tones of blue of the winter in a manicure that features both, with a light blue ombre covered in silver chrome on a nude base, and a tortoise moment in two shades of brown.

Classy autumn nails
A dainty maroon nail design in plain color and textured floral nail art might be the best way to celebrate the end of fall while featuring a manicure that fully represents you, before going in with the snowflake nail art.
8/23
November French
A French manicure is always a safe choice when you’re thinking of a design that complements all your outfits and can go with daily activities and special events. Start with a base of nude nails and apply a thin brown tip. The cream accent of the white part of our nails is an option, but it adds that natural look to the mani.

Brown ombre
Start with a nude in a light shade of creme and create an ombre on the tips with a dark shade of brown for a contrast that will make you fall in love with your manicure every time you look at your hands.

Abstract nail art
Who says your tiny nails don’t have the potential to be the best canvas for you to experiment and express yourself freely? Get your creativity flowing with this cute abstract nail art. Some swirls here, some colorful squares there, and the mani is ready in no time.

Goddess cat eye
A black base to create this gorgeous dark effect, a golden magnetic nail polish for the cat eye effect, and you’ll end up with your manicure that gets your goddess complex to a whole new dimension this November.

Matte November nails
Fun patterns with a matte finish are such an end-of-fall choice! Play with your favorite shades of brown, caramel, burgundy, or even maroon, and celebrate the last breath of the season in your own way.

Stylish combo
A lot of trends ruled this fall season, so it’s only fair to give them a chance to run the podium one last time. Here’s a manicure that showcases silver accents, maroon, burgundy, and sage green shades, French tips, and pearly finishes with integrated pearls in the design.

November nail idea
We love a manicure that catches the last warm rays of the sun and delights us with beautiful light games. Integrate two or three different shades of magnetic nail polish in this fall nail idea that features cat eyes with black nail art, tortoise shells, and metallic silver nails with 3D art.
15/23
Simplicity with details
If you’re in your clean girl era, but make it seasonal, you’ll love this light pink square manicure with tortoise nail art in two shades of brown and black accents. You can recreate this idea in gel with your nail artist, or even attempt it at home.

Skittles November nails
The idea is simple. Gather all the colors you have that inspire that end-of-fall feel to you, and create a manicure that highlights them all. It’s fun and looks surprisingly put together.
17/23
Another great November nail idea is anything with glitter. If the manicure is plain in terms of the nail polish choice, then your best bet to attract the attention you want to your nails is the shape.
18/23
Dark olive
Now it’s the perfect time to try out that muddy green manicure you saved for the fall, cuz in the winter, it won’t carry the same meaning and weight. If you don’t have one in mind, try out this polka dots and stars nail art combination on a dark olive green and cream white combination.
19/23
November nail art
Checkers board nail art is a trend that has picked up lately, so it’s only fair to take it into account for our November nails, right? Paired with a gorgeous sparkly green moment with 3D horizontal lines, and a milky white base, this design not only should be saved on Pinterest like, right now, but also is worth a booking to your favorite nail tech.
20/23
Long almond shape nails
The longer the nail, the bigger the space to experiment and transform your manicure into a canvas to express yourself. You can recreate this beautiful burgundy and cream design with star nail art and aura for your November manicure.
21/23
Fall florals
Let’s end the season with the last breath of fall color on your nails, shall we? Hot orange and wine red are the perfect combination for this floral idea to come to life one last time.
22/23
Timeless red
A color that will never ever get out of style, and one that represents the feminine sexiness. Red is not only the safest manicure you can think of, no matter the season and occasion, but is also the one that says the most with the least effort. Of course is a November nail idea!
23/23
Death of nature
Nature’s last breath before going to sleep for the winter months can not be better represented than this. A milky white base and a black nail polish that is used to create flower and leaf nail art in a way that expresses this rather depressing feeling beautifully.
As the year winds down, November nails are all about embracing change in the most stylish way possible. Whether you’ve fallen for deep, moody tones or can’t resist a little golden shimmer, each design brings its own cozy charm.
Go ahead, treat yourself to that fresh manicure and let your nails reflect the calm, confident energy this month is all about.
