15 On-Trend Nail Colors for Fall

Much like the changing leaves or the return of the pumpkin spice latte, certain colors just give you that time-to-break-out-my-sweaters-feeling. And while it may feel silly to debate what color to paint your nails, we’d argue that uncertain times call for a little comfort and escapism. In keeping with this idea, the trending nail colors for fall are smooth, warm and velvety. Think rich, saturated reds and deep, dark berries and purples that usher in a chillier clime. So, in the name of self-care, here are the 15 most on-trend nail polish colors of the season, all available at Walmart for under $20.
