Brown manicures are a fall classic. Whether it’s a reddish cinnamon shade, a melting caramel color, or a decadent cocoa one, I think they look so rich and sophisticated. It helps that brown is a neutral, so it’s easy to match with autumnal wardrobe basics (jackets, sweaters, and boots, you name it).
This year, though, my love of brown manicures has developed into a full-on fixation. That’s probably because my Instagram and TikTok feeds are full of them, and top nail artists seem to post new ones every day. Ahead, see 14 manicures I’ve personally saved to my “nail inspo” folder on Instagram. Then, shop a smattering of my favorite fall-coded brown nail polishes that feel especially fresh this season.
