’Tis the season for pumpkin spice lattes—and the perfect seasonal manicure to wrap around your cup. Like your favorite fall drink, pumpkin nails are a reliable choice for the entire season. And when combined with the other cool nail trends 2025 has delivered, there are so many creative ways to wear a pumpkin-themed mani.
If you typically go all out with your nail art, we don’t have to sell you on a bright orange pumpkin mani. From spooky jack-o-lantern faces to multicolored gourd designs, the possibilities are endless. But even nail minimalists can get behind this trend. You can add a tiny pumpkin to your classic French, opt for neutral tones, or borrow a solid shade from Selena Gomez’s “blood orange” manicure.
There are plenty of intricate pumpkin designs to bring to your nail artist, but the motif can also be quite DIY-friendly. Pumpkin accents are as simple as an orange blob (points for realism if it’s not a perfect circle) and a few detail strokes with a fine brush or nail pen. You can also find ways to incorporate your other favorite fall manicure colors, like burgundy, black, earthy green, and chocolate brown into your pumpkin nail art. For added flair, orange shades work beautifully with gold accents.
Whether you’re dressing up your natural nails or a fresh acrylic set for the new season, there’s a pumpkin nail design for you. Not sure where to start? We’ve rounded up the best inspiration on Instagram. Below, find ideas for every nail shape and style.
