So, pumpkin nails…. we’re calling it: there’s officially time to put tiny orange gourds on every fingertip. 🎃
Sure, some people do brown florals, some do autumn leaves, but pumpkin nails are like THE thing that says autumn nail art is here!
And pumpkin nails don’t need to look all the same – we’ve got classy, cutesy, moody, or downright chaotic. Basically, there’s a pumpkin mani for everyone inside this list.
Settle in. Bring your pumpkin latte. And let’s save some of these pumpkin nails ideas to your Pinterest fall board!
Geometric Fall Nail Art With Pumpkins
Total eye-catcher alert. Blocks of color, triangles, leopard print, and then cheeky little stylized pumpkins appear. Geometry, but way more fun than math class.
Orange French Tips With Pumpkins
Orange tips—make it as bright or muted as you want—with hand-drawn pumpkin details, with some cute little flowers around them. Simple, cute, and somehow looks good with anything.
Orange Glitter And Little Pumpkins
Chunky or fine glitter in the orangest orange, plus baby pumpkins floating around. If you like your nails bling-y (and on the verge of disco), these are for you.
Oval Burnt Orange Pumpkin Nails
Soft, oval-shaped nails painted burnt orange with dainty pumpkin drawings or stickers. Kind of the fall version of “cottage chic” nails (but you know, with produce).
Pink And Purple Pumpkin Nails
Not a big fan of classic orange? Pink and purple polish backgrounds, pumpkins in neon versions of those colors. Unexpected combo, but somehow it works. Barbiecore meets hayride.
Pumpkin Nails In Yellow, White, And Orange
Bold color blocking with sunny yellow, clean white, and fiery orange. Each nail looks a litte different. Some get a pumpkin, some just the colors. It’s a lot, but if maximalism is your thing? Go wild.
Abstract Pumpkin Nails
Very much pumpkin-adjacent, these nails let you be autumnal without looking like a kid’s coloring book exploded on your hands. Think brushstroke shapes, blurred-out oranges, yellows, and the tiniest suggestion of a pumpkin – abstract pumpkin nails for the win.
Square Orange Frenchies With Pumpkin Accent
Crisp, squared-off orange French tips, one big pumpkin art piece on the accent nail. Scroll-stopping. Instagram ready. A+ if you want to look like you know your nail art trends.
Checkered Nails With Pumpkins
Who said checkerboard was just for ska fans or kitchen towels? Chunky red and white squares somehow pairs really well with the burnt orange color, and pumpkins floating around just makes it look super autumnal.
Classic French Tips With A Pumpkin Silhouette
As simple as fall nail art gets. Classy white tips with one outlined pumpkin shape (or fill it in, if you want it to pop more) on the ring finger. Reads “seasonal, but I still have a corporate job.” Zero fuss.
Cute Orange Jack-O-Lantern Nails
Bright orange polish, hand-drawn black jack-o-lantern faces. You can go full Halloween or just low-key spooky. Each face is slightly different – nobody will know if you made a tiny mistake.
Cute Pumpkin Nails With Ghosts And Polka Dots
Perfect for people who want ALL the October things at once—ghosts, pumpkins, speckly, dot action. These nails work best if you giggle every time you look down. Added points for spooky ghost expression.
White And Gold Pumpkins
Clean, glossy white nails, fancy gold pumpkins accenting just a couple fingers. Over-the-top elegance (but with vegetables, so it’s healthy). Effortless with just enough flex.
Burgundy Pumpkin Nails
Someone out there wants stark pumpkin contrast, so this one’s for you. Start with neutral base, hand-paint (or sticker, let’s not pretend) burgundy pumpkins and burgundy french tips. You will NOT be ignored at family dinner. Aunt Linda will ask, guaranteed.
Abstract Colorful Pumpkin Nails
These are the nails for people who see a plain pumpkin and think, “Not enough drama!” Expect swirls of white and black, with colorful pumpkins thrown in but not where you expect them. Max vibes, low effort if your nail artist loves chaos, too.
Autumn Pumpkin Nails With Gold
Espresso brown, golden leaves, and tiny pumpkins in earthy fall colors, all in one mini-mural across your hand. These nails go extra with little gold flecks or lines around the orange, so when the sun actually catches your nails, you feel a little bit opulent.
Dark French Nails With Colorful Pumpkins
Imagine a moody French mani with black or dark brown tips, but not basic at all. Bright pumpkin shapes in yellow, orange, or taupe, sitting right on top of the French tips. Autumn, but for people who don’t do basic.
Gold Leaves And Pumpkins
Some people want their pumpkin nails to feel like they spent a week leaf peeping. Gold foil leaves, pumpkin art mixed in, sometimes even little branches. Your nails, but also a Pinterest mood board.
Dark Frenchies With Pumpkins And Gold
Take dark brown tips, add little pumpkin designs, then flick gold chrome over the painted leaves. Lux meets quirky. These look grown up but they don’t feel fussy at all. Maybe a little extra but, hey, so are you.
Pink Glitter Pumpkin Nails
Shimmery pink is the base, then—surprise—orange pumpkins layered in. Then add more tiny punpkins on white blob shapes, and you’ve got yourself a fall nail design. Fun for Halloween, or just, you know, every day.
Pumpkins, Mushrooms, And Flowers
If “cottagecore” and “witchy” went on a nail date, you’d get these. Mushrooms, tiny flowers, friendly pumpkins peppered across every nail. All on short nails – who said you need long tips to stand out?
Pumpkin Nails With Autumn Leaves
Old-school fall. Warm oranges, browns, and leafy art—plus friendly little pumpkins tossed in to break it up. Like a pumpkin patch, but chicer.
Dark Pumpkin Nails With Gold Lining
Start dark—think near-black. Draw sleek pumpkins outlined in gold or copper. Reservations at a fancy spot? These could low-key pass as jewelry from across the room.
Simple Pumpkin Accent Nails
Your standard neutral or nude mani, then a lone, beautifully basic pumpkin painted on the ring finger. It’s kind of like the nail version of a surprise party. Everyone expects beige…and then, boom, pumpkin.
Tiny Orange Pumpkin Nails
Little pumpkin stickers or freehand dots on bare or taupe polish base. People won’t be able to tell from far away, but when they see it, they’ll crack a smile – guaranteed.
Burgundy French Tips With Tiny Pumpkins
Burgundy French tips bring just enough drama. The tiny pumpkins add playfulness without going full cartoon. These look expensive, frankly, and the burgundy makes them good for every sweater situation.
Brown Pumpkin Nails
If fall had a Pantone palette, brown pumpkin nails would be at the top. These scream “deliberate adult” but with just enough warm orange charm to prove you care about seasonal fun. You can go solid brown with orange accents, matte, or throw in some gold—the point is the pumpkin gets to be the bold part.
Cute Short Halloween Nails
Halloween lovers unite. You don’t need long claws to get in on pumpkin nails. Paint tiny pumpkins on a neutral or clear base, maybe some stitches or fun dot accents. Add a tiny little ghost in the mix—trust me, it works.
Burgundy Nails With Taupe Pumpkins
Want more burgundy, less fuss? Why not, right? A deep, true wine shade with little taupe pumpkins (maybe just one or two per hand), says “I drink red in fall, but I’ll still take your candy corn.” These wear well with any fall outfit, too.
Whimsical Pastel Pumpkin Nails
Candy-colored oranges, greens, or lavenders—then happy cartoon pumpkins floating around. It’s like Halloween, but if it happened at a Lisa Frank party.
Short French Tips With A Single Pumpkin
Skinny French tips—white, orange, even green—with one bold pumpkin sitting on one nail. Maybe your thumb? Maybe your ring? It doesn’t matter. Proves you can be festive but still chic.
Square Nails With Small Orange Pumpkins
Perfect little pumpkins, lined up on neat, square-shaped tips. Has big “organized but still fun” vibes. If type-A people had seasonal signature manis, this would be it. Go for stickers or hand-paint them.
Orange Glitter Nails With Pumpkins
All-over orange glitter. Orange and yellow pumpkin decals layered on or hand-painted. The easiest way to look fabulous in fall: pumpkins + glitter.
Burgundy Pumpkin Frenchies
Suddenly, French tips but with small orange pumpkin details right along the smile line. It’s subtle. It’s sneaky. It’s very, “I know what pumpkin season is about and I plan to milk it for all it’s worth.” Go glossy. Go matte. No wrong answers.
Burnt Orange French Nails With Pumpkin Accent
Here’s the move: deep burnt orange tips, single statement pumpkin on one nail. It’s the autumn equivalent of a little black dress, but with, well, a vegetable. Pair with an actual pumpkin spice latte if you want to commit.
Gold Glitter Pumpkins
Lots of fine gold glitter makes every pumpkin sparkle. If you live for shimmer, these nails basically double as party confetti. The monochrome base palette makes the glitter pumpkins really stand out.
Green And Gold Pumpkin Nails
Deep forest green, gold glitter, and orange pumpkins painted or stamped on top. Unexpected but trust me: muted green is secretly the power color of autumn-y pumpkin nails. It’s perfect if you don’t want to look too orange.
Short Jack-O-Lantern Nails
Teeny-tiny pumpkins with faces, painted on short, round nails. Cute, not creepy. Maximum Halloween with minimum commitment. Seriously fast, too (if you mess up one, just call it expressionism.)
Happy Fall Pumpkin Nails
Nails that literally say “Happy Fall” across your nails – plus bright little pumpkins, autumn leaves, maybe a bit of glitter if you’re feeling extra. Yes, it’s a bit much, but no one here is anti-vibes.
Simple Pumpkin Nails
Ten little orange blobs, some outline. Maybe a stem or a leaf, maybe not. It’s so easy it’s almost embarrassing, but somehow, it still makes you grin.
Intricate Pumpkin Nail Art In Orange And Green
Super detailed, super extra. Swirling stems, blushing orange, white, and green pumpkins, intricate shadowing. This is for the person who loves fine art (at least on your nails). Respect.
Tiny Pink Pumpkins
Unexpected twist: small, bright pink pumpkins speckled on a neutral or pale base. Attention-getting in the best way. Not for the shy, but definitely for the fun. Who says pumpkins must be orange?
Dark Almond Nails With Pumpkins
Almond nails? Check. Nearly-black polish? Check. Cute orange pumpkins painted or placed smack in the middle. Pretty witchy, but somehow still soft. Wear with a chunky black sweater (optional but, like, basically required).
