Autumn Manicure for Almond-Shaped Nails 2025: Trendy Ideas for October

October is the perfect time to fully embrace the cozy autumn atmosphere: put on a warm sweater, enjoy a pumpkin spice latte, and spend the evening with a cocktail in hand. Your manicure can easily become an extension of that mood—choose deep, rich shades like blood red, aubergine, or chocolate brown. In this article, we’ve gathered 7 stylish almond nail ideas that capture the spirit of autumn and add an elegant touch to your look this October.

01 Gothic Aura Manicure

Aura nails remain a bold favorite, but for fans of a darker aesthetic, they can be reimagined with a gothic twist—try a gradient that transitions from rich black to transparent. Add a few rhinestones for an edgy detail that pairs effortlessly with any fall outfit. 

02 Tortoiseshell Print

The tortoiseshell manicure never goes out of style in autumn. Warm tones of brown, taupe, and beige create a cozy, comforting feel that perfectly reflects the mood of crisp fall days. 

03 Chrome Manicure

The chrome effect on this peachy-pink manicure adds depth and richness, harmonizing beautifully with falling leaves and light autumn jackets. It’s a perfect way to transform a light neutral shade into a chic choice for the colder season. The glossy finish also visually elongates almond-shaped nails, adding refinement and sophistication. 

04 Shimmering Green

This glowing green manicure embodies mystery and allure. A dark base enhances the central hue’s radiance, turning the familiar aura manicure into an ideal fall-ready design.

05 French Manicure

Give your French manicure an autumn upgrade: this October, swap the classic white tips for bright orange, add black rhinestones and silver accents, and your nails will instantly look stylish and season-appropriate.

06 Burgundy and Silver

07 Espresso Martini

Pairing your manicure with your favorite drink is a trendy way to create a cozy October vibe. Inspired by the Espresso Martini, this design features a deep dark base that evokes rich coffee, soft creamy tips that mimic the drink’s frothy top, and a tiny coffee bean accent on one nail for an elegant, refined finish.
