Fall is here! Time for russet leaves, cozy throws and evenings spent pampering your toes. If you're planning a seasonal pedicure, now’s the moment to bring out your favorite shades to warm up your feet. Rich burgundies, comforting browns or understated greens—there’s plenty to choose from. Let our feel-good, on-trend color picks inspire you.

Fall Elegance

As the days grow shorter and the trees turn golden, it’s time to coordinate your toenails with the changing season!

For a gentle approach to fall, go for Bois de rose, a chic vintage pink that works every time. Its soft, cozy vibe complements every skin tone, from the fairest to the deepest. Just the thing to wear with your comfiest outfit, curled up on the sofa with a good book and a cup of tea.

To fully embrace the fall spirit, Aubergine is bound to win you over. This deep, mysterious dark violet polish makes a bold statement on your toes—very velvet nails. It also pairs beautifully with your go-to trench coat that’s finally making a comeback.

Or perhaps you’ll fall for red polish in the new Bohème shade from our Quais de Seine collection. This brown-tinged red is the epitome of timeless Parisian chic—effortlessly elegant and endlessly modern.

Country Spirit

If you’re in the mood for muted, understated tones that evoke crisp country mornings, Khaki is the one for you. With its gray undertones, this green polish is warmer than it looks. Once you’ve tried it, you won’t want to take it off—and it’s one of the top fall shades for 2025.

For something bolder, opt for Tuileries. This olive green with subtle gray undertones is inspired by the timeless elegance of Paris’s fall gardens. Refined and minimal, it brings a sophisticated finish to your toes.

Looking for depth and allure? Poppy Seed is your new favorite. This stormy blue-gray with full coverage cloaks your toenails in drama and pairs perfectly with all your new-season outfits.

Woodland Tones

In fall, warm shades with terracotta and brown undertones are just the thing to create a cozy atmosphere. Like Clove, a brown polish with a chocolate hue and a hint of violet, perfect for those first evenings by the fire.

Clay is another one to love. Its taupe tone, a refined blend of chestnut and gray, flatters every skin tone and matches all your fall outfits—even that cream sweater you can’t get enough of. Understated yet desirable, it’s the shade that quietly steals the show.

Feeling bold? Then Terracotta is calling your name. Warm and sun-kissed, it keeps summer going and brings a vibrant energy to your toes. We’re head over heels for this burnt-earth red that channels golden hour glow.

Pampering Your Feet from Fall to Winter

After a summer of adventures in the sun, sand and sea, our feet are often left dry and fragile, with nothing but a faded memory of that summer pedicure. Time to get back to work—starting with your toenails. Here's how to revive them:

Strengthen nails weakened by summer

Kératine Booster is a hardening treatment made with 97.5% natural-origin ingredients. Packed with plant keratin, silica and biotin, it breathes new life into soft, damaged nails from the first use. The fluid texture absorbs quickly without any sticky or greasy finish. Apply it 1 to 3 times a day on bare nails and allow it to dry completely. Repeat for 5 to 7 days as a full treatment. Result: nails that are strong, glossy and ready to face the winter.

Natural-looking, healthy toenails

Why not treat your toenails to a resurfacing routine inspired by Japanese manicures? That’s exactly what the Glossy Booster Duo offers. Its formula—featuring glycolic acid, citric acid and plant glycerin—gently exfoliates, hydrates and smooths the nails for a lasting glossy effect. Start by applying the glycolic peel to bare nails and massage until fully absorbed. Then use the pale pink side of the buffer sponge to smooth the surface and blur imperfections. Finish with the bright pink side to polish and seal the nail, leaving a radiant shine.

Must-have pedicure accessories

Good news! Manucurist now offers a brand-new Glass Foot File. With its fine 180 grit, it gently exfoliates heels, leaving your skin smooth from the very first use. It’s washable, endlessly reusable, 100% recyclable and easy to handle—your go-to foot care tool for the long haul.

And when it comes to nail care, files and buffers are still essential. Use the coarse side (the one without the logo) to shape the edge of your toenails and smooth the surface before applying your polish.

Last but not least: don’t skip hydration

Hydration is key to keeping feet soft and toenails looking their best. Green Oil delivers intense nourishment thanks to a blend of six botanical oils. And for a spa-worthy finish, reach for the Perfecting Concentrate, designed to soothe and rehydrate cuticles and nails with castor oil, vitamin E and pistachio extract.
