1. Burnt Orange

“Tang Bang” by Smith and Cult

Tang Bang is definitely in my top 5 for fall. Made by Smith and Cult, it’s the perfect tone setter for fall, with an orange hue that is is similar to the color of the leaves and pumpkins, and give you a total warm feeling of fall. This makes it perfect for wearing all autumn long! It’s also vegan and cruelty-free, and I love the quaint and sophisticated packaging on this brand too!

“Blitzen” by Acquarella

Acquarella’s Blitzen is simply amazing. It’s also a water-based nail polish. It’s a green-gray hue, which I love for fall. It will pair well with any outfit- casual to more after 5 wear. It’s a bold green color that screams fall and is also a good choice to add to your nail color toolkit of products for winter as well.

“Cinnamon” by Suncoat

If you’re looking for a brown color that’s got lots of shimmer, check out Cinnamon from Suncoat.

The shimmer also adds a nice touch of glam to your nails.
