Pumpkin Spice Nails Are The Natural Fall Evolution Of The Latte Manicure Trend
The creamy, coffee-inspired hues of the latte manicure trend — we're talking every luscious shade of beige, tan, and brown you can dream up — have evolved with the arrival of fall just as our coffee orders have. It's the season for cinnamon, maple, spiced pear, caramel apple, and, of course, the ever-iconic pumpkin spice. This long-standing trend has left nothing untouched, including manicures. Pumpkin spice nails look just like a seasonal pumpkin spice latte, with creamy, orange tones and fall-inspired details making this manicure trend so desirable. And, if we're being honest, it's one of fall 2023's best nail trends thanks to its colorfulness and how relatable it is.
Autumn's cozy vibes are anticipated by many and often feel fleeting, so if you're a fall-loving babe, it's likely time to book that manicure appointment and hop aboard this natural evolution of the latte manicure trend. The time has come to rewatch "Practical Magic" and "Twilight," put out all of your fall decor, and take a long, winding drive through the autumn foliage with a PSL in hand — and a PSL mani to match.
Marbled pumpkin spice
These stunning, marbled pumpkin spice latte-inspired nails encapsulate both the drink and the season perfectly. With creamy, coffee tones and a natural swirl that mirrors your morning latte, these nails are ideal for the coziest season. They're hand-painted with impressive artistry and are sure to garner compliments all throughout PSL season.
All that glitters is gold
With a true pumpkin hue and an autumnal glimmer, this mani is fun, festive, and right on trend for PSL season. The burnt orange is ideal for those craving a darker tone than the milky orange we're seeing in many other looks from the pumpkin spice latte manicure trend, and opting for a few different iterations of fall-colored polish is something we can always get behind. This way, you never get bored of the trend.
Multi-toned pumpkin
We love this softer, milky manicure in varying shades of pumpkin on shorter nails. Simple, chic, and practical, this one is versatile and will go with just about every outfit, hair color, and more. The muted tones perfectly mirror the fall foliage, and this one can likely be recreated at home with the utmost ease.
Autumnal tones and nail art
If you've already got your fall manicure appointment booked but aren't sure which direction to go, consider some glittery cobwebs, crisp leaves, and classic pumpkins for the perfect fall nail design. We love the matte and gloss combo and the overarching medley of iconic fall symbols. What's more, longer nails will give you more surface area to work with when it comes to celebrating cozy season this year.
A PSL match
An ideal pumpkin spice latte match, this mani is the copy-paste of the nail trend. Milky orange, dark espresso, and foamy white –- with a touch of glitter –- make this set of nails a PSL manicure in its truest form. You'll have loads of fun with these nails when ordering your favorite fall latte, and your photo opportunities will be endless.
Ombré pumpkin nails
These long, gorgeous, and ombré pumpkin spice nails are fall elegance embodied. The creamy, muted orange-tan gradient is flawless when it comes to emanating sweet fall vibes. This mani is versatile and celebrates the season with a soft vibe, easily worn anywhere from work meetings to spooky Halloween parties.
