File your nails into a coffin shape for an elongated, sleek look. Paint all nails except one with a matte burnt-orange polish. Apply two coats for an opaque finish.
For the accent nail, use a sheer nude or clear gel as the base. Apply fall leaf nail stickers in red, yellow, and orange. Place gold nail studs near the cuticle of the accent nail for a touch of elegance.
Apply a matte topcoat over the orange nails and a glossy topcoat over the accent nail to create contrast.

Supplies
- Burnt orange nail polish (for the main color)
- Olive green nail polish (for accent nails)
- Glossy topcoat (for a sleek, glass-like shine)
- Fine nail art brush (for any detailing, if desired)
- Base coat (to protect natural nails)
Instructions
Paint all nails except your pinkie finger with a dark orange color. Paint your pinkie finger with a light green color for a feature nail. Put two coats of each color on your nails, and let them dry before applying another coat. When your nails are dry, put a shiny topcoat on all of them. For a really shiny finish, you can put on two coats of the topcoat.
The combination of matte and glitter creates a unique contrast, giving this manicure a trendy yet timeless fall aesthetic.
Supplies
- Burnt orange nail polish (for the main color)
- Soft nude/pink nail polish (for contrast)
- Gold glitter polish (for the accent nail)
- Gold foil or striping tape (for the elegant detail)
- Matte topcoat (for a modern, velvety finish)
- Glossy topcoat (to seal the glitter)
Instructions
Apply orange nail polish to your index finger and your finger nail. Use soft nude or pink on two accent nails for a balanced, neutral contrast. On one accent nail, apply gold glitter polish for a dazzling effect.
Use gold foil or striping tape diagonally across the glitter nail for an extra touch of elegance.
Secure the foil/tape with a glossy topcoat to prevent peeling. Apply a matte topcoat on the burnt orange and nude nails for a modern, velvet-like finish.
Let everything dry completely before touching anything!
