Toes get overlooked once sweater weather hits, but honestly, the transition weeks, when it’s still warm enough for open shoes but cool enough for layers, are some of my favorite pedicure appointments all year. The color story just shifts a little from summer’s brights.
The biggest thing I tell pedicure clients this time of year: toe color can lean a shade deeper than you’d usually go on fingers, toes read differently in sandals than fingers do close-up, so don’t be afraid to go richer than your instinct says.
Here are the 25 fall toe nail colors my clients keep requesting for this in-between stretch of the season.
Deep Reds and Berries for Toes
A rich berry or deep red toe color is my most requested transition shade, warm enough for fall, still perfectly at home in an open sandal.
Warm Nude and Brown Toes
A warm nude or soft brown reads clean and considered on toes, and it’s the easiest shade to keep through the whole transitional season.
Chrome and Glazed Toe Finishes
Chrome pedicures have picked up serious traffic this season, that mirror shine looks incredible against bare feet in cooler light.
Classic French Pedicure with a Fall Twist
Swapping the classic white tip for a warm fall shade keeps a pedicure feeling clean and classic while still marking the season change.
Matte Toe Nail Finishes
Matte reads unexpectedly sophisticated on toes, and it’s a finish I recommend more and more once fall colors come into play.
