When it comes to fall nail trends, it's all about dark hues, leaf motifs and glam glitter. Keep scrolling for 20 festive ideas to inspire your fall mani.

1. Jewel Tones: 'Tis the season to break out your darker nail polishes — and use them all at once. A single gold embellishment is the perfect finishing touch.

2. Candy Corn Leaves: Leaves and glitter and candy corn-inspired stripes, oh my! This mani is the trifecta of fall nail art.

3. Feelin' Foxy: Just because summer's over doesn't mean you have to box up your white polish. Make it autumn appropriate with pops of pumpkin orange and cute little foxes. Remind us again — what does the fox say?

4. Harvest Shades: Who says all your digits have to be painted the same color? This is a super simple and seasonal way to put your fave matte shades to use.

5. Feather Fever: Decals are a fun and easy way to create a festive mani. Feathers filled in with metallic gold and garnet look perfectly autumnal.

16. Negative Space Minimalist: A seasonal color palette keeps this minimalist mani right on trend. Use warm fall tones to create a next-level negative-space mani that screams "wear me with black skinnies and a moto jacket."
