From warm-toned colors to crisp designs, these sets are perfect for the chilly season.

Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Caramel Apples. Gilmore Girls. These are not just pillars of the rapidly approaching fall season but also goods that further the "Cozy Girl" aesthetic. Nevertheless, as summer continues to fizzle out day-by-day, nail art needs to change (just like the leaves do).
In the world of manicures, one may be overwhelmed by an array of options. Gel, acrylic, and even press-ons are just some of the options for decorating one's nails. And don't even get us started with the nail shape, color names, and finishes that leave us wanting more on our next appointment.
Yet, don't be intimidated by the offerings; rather, it's meant to be a space where experimentation comes alive. Many of us love to stick with our tried-and-trues, but a different style can bring newness to daily life. In other words, transforming your fingertips is a key element of what makes it exciting.
Whether you want to switch gears into sweater weather, step out of the box, or are simply curious about defining looks of the season, L'OFFICIEL has you covered so you can adapt to the harvest season's atmosphere, feel, and vibe.

Can't seem to let go of the botanical motif? Well, the cozy shade alongside the blooming look makes for the perfect pairing. The manicure's soft, fleshy base nicely balances out the blushy details that come from the brown present. To further the design, dots, curved lines, or leaves allow the florals to bounce off each nail bed. If you want to add some pizzazz, gold not only brings attention to the manicure, but also complements your jewelry and your outfit as a whole.

In the world of fashion, it's common sense that animal prints are a state of being. Sure, some may deem it a trend, but they are looks that have appeared consistently season after season. Shifting to the nail sphere, the leopard-print design holds the same energy. Whether you prefer sets to be short or long, à la Marc Jacobs, the print is a nice way to bring out your wild side, with or without animal prints present in your wardrobe.

When the world found out that Zendaya and Tom Holland got married, many questioned what the bride's nails looked like on that special day. Marina Dobic, a nail artist and content creator who has done multiple manicures on the actress and fashion icon, answered that query on August 24 through her Instagram. Not only did we get a glimpse at the elegant set, but also what would be the rage for the fall: Velvet nails. The minimalistic yet bold look provides the perfect amount of shine without having to do much talking. Mesmerizing, lush, and eye-catching are the only words to describe the finish.

Sunglasses. Rings. Phone cases. These are some of the accessories that have been taken over by the print, so it makes perfect sense that the nails get that exact treatment. Inspired by the casing that protects a tortoise's spine, the design appears rather simple at first glance. However, when the sun hits the manicure, multiple shades of brown are revealed and show its complexities. From a full set donned in tortoise shell or paired with chocolate browns and gemstones, this look will only add to the energy you already carry.

Speaking of cocoa hues, the classic mocha color is a great and approachable way to shift into a cooler vibe this season. Although it predominantly appears in creamy finishes, adding a touch of glossiness to the set will get the conversation going. The glassy look not only brings out different shades of brown, but also adds a water-like polish to the manicure. Let's just say, spicing up our mochas is the new trend this season.
