Bold, budget-friendly, and bursting with autumn spirit.
Fall is nearly here, and that means it's time to cover everything in pumpkin spice orange, sunflower yellow, and cranberry red—even your nails. "I personally recommend going bold with seasonal colors, because it can be more budget-friendly to invest in a bottle of nail color than other fashion items," says Hemi Park, LeChat Nails educator. Burgundy and purple shades are fall classics, but you can easily elevate the dark palette with colors like deep navy, dark green, or rich teal. "This year we're also seeing shimmery and chrome polishes," she adds.
While you stock up on boots and sweaters, grab at least one of these beautiful autumnal nail colors from Amazon. With prices starting below $6, here are the best under-$12 fall nail colors from Amazon.
