Throughout the month of September, it can feel like we experience several different seasons. Summer and fall battle it out day by day, and this juxtaposition can lead to some pretty interesting fashion and beauty choices. But if we’re being honest, as soon as September first hits, we’re ready to fully embrace the coziness of fall, both in textiles and tones.
To help you navigate this tricky time, we asked three experts to reveal the nail color palettes everyone will be sporting all month long. “September is a month of transition, bringing with it cooler temperatures and the changing of the leaves,” says JINsoon founder and celebrity nail artist, Jin Soon Choi. “As such, the most popular nail ideas for September often reflect the season's earthy tones and cozy vibes.” Ahead, find the seven most popular nail categories and colors for September 2024.

Latte Nudes
Many people count down the days to September in anticipation of their favorite seasonal latte being back on the menu. But if you don’t want to order a sugary beverage every day of the month, you can lean into the delicious trend with a set of latte nude nails.
“[I am reaching for] colors like chocolate, tan, light beige, and even dabbling into stone-like grays,” says celebrity manicurist Thuy Nguyen. “I like to use a variety of these [hues] to create colorful French tips or wear them with a matte top coat.” The way Nguyen sees it, a matte top coat transforms any color into a cozier hue for the season.

Espresso Brown
Prefer your caffeine without milk? Showcase your rich taste on your nails this September with an espresso-brown manicure. “Fall is all about brown, and this season’s favorite version is a deep, coffee brown,” says Olive & June's mani trend expert and VP of content, Olivia Van Iderstine. “These shades capture the moody, darkness of fall we crave, with a familiar warmth that a hot cup of coffee brings.”

Rich Berries
Bright red nails are always in style but this September, Choi says that deep berry shades, like plum, burgundy, and cranberry, are expected to take precedence. “They’re rich and luxurious; they add a touch of drama to any outfit and are perfect for evening events,” she explains. “Keep the rest of your makeup and outfit simple to let the nail color take center stage.”

Toasty Terracotta
For a less dramatic September manicure, try a terracotta nail look. “Terracotta is an excellent transitional color, boasting a rich, earthy tone that hints at autumn without being too heavy,” Choi says. “Its earthy undertones evoke a sense of warmth and comfort, perfect for transitioning into the cooler months.”

Deep Mauves
If you’re not one for browns but not ready to embrace burgundy, a deep mauve polish is a nice middle ground. “The on-trend shade for fall is a deep shade of mauve,” Van Iderstine says. “We like to say this shade is hard to describe, but easy to love! Look for shades with the sweetness of pink, the coolness of purple, and the cozy, moodiness of brown.”

Cool Lavender-Grey
For a cooler September nail look, consider a lavender-grey manicure. “The ideal new neutral for fall is a muted lavender grey—very demure,” Van Iderstine exclaims. “A true neutral that takes you everywhere and works for everyone, [because] neutrals are so much more than beiges, pinks, and creams!”

Shimmery Metallics
Add a head-turning accent to every outfit this September with the addition of a shimmery metallic mani. “Metallic shades like gold, silver, and bronze adds a touch of glamor and sophistication,” Choi says. “They're perfect for special occasions or when you want to make a statement.”
