As the leaves begin to turn, you’re probably already dreaming about a Malaga Wine manicure, but as we edge closer to 2025, there are a few new shades to upgrade your usually red go-to with a new hue. Leaning into a new palette, Plum Nails are all the rage this season. Not completely sold? Find out why plum is serving up some serious nail inspiration this fall.

Beyond the fact that Instagram and TikTok say so, and a copious amount of celebs agree — Plum Nails give you the ability to flirt with a deep and dark shade that’s not black — because a true black is extremely hard to pull off for most skin tones. Pair these plum shades with your Pumpkin Spice Latte or keep them going well into Ginger Bread Latte season — Plum is here to stay.

Plum Nail Inspiration

Because plum is a color that’s essential deep purple, it has a variety of undertones, hues and levels that you can play around with.
