Fall Pumpkin
Pumpkins have such a close association to Halloween that we often forget they’re an overall fall staple. I mean, you don’t stop drinking PSLs just because November 1 comes around, and before we know it many of us will gather around the table for pumpkin pie. These neutral pumpkin nails are perfect for the entire autumn season, and we can’t get enough of them.

It would be foolish to do any nail roundup in fall 2022 and not include a glazed donut nail. While this may not be pumpkin nail art specifically, the glazed pumpkin spice shade is most certainly a work of art and a staple this season.
