Welcome fallen leaves, steaming cups of tea and soft autumn layers… Autumn is back! It’s the perfect time to refresh your nail polish palette. A brand-new collection inspired by the streets of Paris, best-sellers in nature-inspired shades, and the latest trends spotted on the Autumn-Winter 25/26 runways… Here’s our focus on standout colors, expert tips and our new treatments to boost your nails this season!

Quais de Seine: spotlight on the new collection

A new seasonal trio lands on your nails from September 12, 2025. Inspired by a walk through Montmartre’s heights and Parisian gardens, this collection captures the elegance of a modern urban autumn…

First up, meet Bohème, a deep red-brown between brick and dark chocolate. It pairs perfectly with a camel trench and plum lipstick. It’s also ultra-chic with a full monochrome brown look or contrasted with raw denim.

Minimalist yet refined, Tweed is a warm-toned, pearly gray, like a cloudy early-morning sky. A soft neutral that beautifully complements beige tailoring or oversized ecru knits.

Completing the trio, Tuileries is a sumptuous olive green , ready for a stroll through the iconic Parisian garden it’s named after! The perfect green for anyone who loves bold color. Ideal with botanical prints and bohemian velvet looks…

Available in both Green™ (classic polish) & Green Flash™ (Gel Polish), this must-have trio for autumn works just as well in a solid manicure as in a modern French twist or in marble or half-moon nail art. Perfect for those who love a colorful manicure with subtle flair.

Three shades, one Parisian stroll: the Quais de Seine collection welcomes autumn with elegance.

Autumn haze: when shades turn soft

For those who prefer a gentle, misty color palette, we’re embracing warm, cocooning tones.

Bubble, a sky blue polish with a hint of gray , was also chosen by Luisa Beccaria for her AW25 collection. A breath of salty breeze on your skin! Graphic and contemporary, it pairs beautifully with minimalist autumn outfits and gold hand jewelry.

Chestnut, a warm brown to wear with a matte top coat or as an inverted French manicure for the perfect Toffee nails. Timeless and flattering on all skin tones. We also spotted it on Elisabetta Franchi’s catwalk.

Clay, a modern taupe gray with pink undertones, understated yet distinctive, also seen at Ludovic de Saint-Sernin. Like a warm clay embrace, it’s a comforting shade that works brilliantly as a chic base for minimal dot nail art, nude ombré or soft autumn aura nails.

These three shades complement the season’s quiet luxury looks and echo the trend for revisited nudes spotted during the Autumn-Winter 25/26 Fashion Week.

Weekend in the countryside: nature calling

Autumn is also the season for countryside escapes. Nails are dressed in hues inspired by foliage, seasonal produce and dried flowers.

Not quite a pine green but a velvety matcha-inspired green, Artichaut is the ideal polish for an autumn stroll in the garden. Also spotted at Anna Sui. Pair it with a flecked wool cardigan or a tartan scarf for an irresistible combo!

Looking for a dramatic, flawless statement look like Saint Laurent? Choose Dark Dahlia, a velvety burgundy, blending dried flowers and couture red (available in Green Flash™ Gel Polish from October 3, 2025). For those who dare, add delicate floral nail art for an artistic touch. It’s stunning on short, slightly square nails for a glam rock vibe.

At Zimmermann, it’s all about chameleon green – and we love it too! Khaki, a cool-toned military green with a soft, muted finish, is a true autumn staple. It also works beautifully as a base for golden leaf nail art or a forest-inspired green gradient.

These three nature-inspired shades are perfect for pairing with Irish knits, quilted jackets and well-worn leather boots. Simply lovely!

A night at the Opera: autumn gets chic

A hushed atmosphere, soft lighting and a black satin dress: elevate your autumn evenings with elegant, powdery shades.

On Tory Burch’s runway, a vintage rose taupe with a hint of brown stole the show. Rose Mountbatten embraces this trend: a characterful antique rose inspired by autumn heathers. Pair it with a beige trench, plum knitwear, raw denim or a tweed blazer.

From Giorgio Armani, we say goodbye to the simplicity of milk nails – glitter is making its mark this season. Quartz is our pick: a modern frosted brown with metallic shimmer. Wear it like a subtle jewel, teamed with a long pearl-gray wool coat, cashmere knit and corduroy trousers. It’s perfect for baby boomer nail art or shimmering tips.

To complete the selection, Clove: a spicy brown polish infused with berry and cocoa notes, reminiscent of Salvatore Ferragamo’s autumn wardrobe. Think of it as a decadent winter dessert – rich, smooth, utterly irresistible. It also works beautifully for metallic or smoky gradient nail art.
