Márcia Câmara, who has done the nails of Luisa Sonza, Jade Picon, and Camila Queiroz, shares colors, styles, and techniques for fall 2026.
With a client list that reads like a Brazilian pop culture who’s who — including Gretchen, Luisa Sonza, Camila Queiroz, Gkay, and Jade Picon — nail designer Márcia Câmara is one of Brazil’s most sought-after beauty professionals. For fall 2026, she has mapped out the key colors, styles, and nail art techniques set to define the season.
Top nail colors for fall 2026
The season’s palette leans into warmth and depth. Earthy tones — browns, beiges, burnt oranges, and moss greens — lead the charge. Alongside them, the Milky Nails trend continues its rise, offering a polished and modern finish. Completing the trio, petrol blue stands out as a deep, sophisticated choice that pairs effortlessly with fall wardrobes.
Earthy tones are a great option for fall — they bring a sense of coziness and elegance.
Nail styles taking over the season
Minimalism holds its ground as a dominant aesthetic, with fine lines, subtle details, and quiet geometry making a strong statement. Textured finishes — think marble, velvet, and suede effects — add dimension and visual interest. For formal occasions, pearl-embellished nails offer a romantic and refined touch.
A minimalist look is perfect for anyone who wants elegance without the fuss.
Nail art techniques on the rise
Three nail art techniques are standing out this fall season.
- Marble effect: creates a unique, artistic look on every nail
- Stripes: easy to execute and endlessly versatile across lengths and shapes
- Dots: a classic reimagined with varied sizes and contrasting colors
Textures are a great way to add depth and interest to your nails.
Nail care essentials for the season
Cooler temperatures call for extra attention. Márcia points to three non-negotiables for keeping nails healthy throughout fall.
- Hydration: use moisturizing products on nails and cuticles daily
- Protection: always apply a base coat before color to shield the nail plate
- Nutrition: a nutrient-rich diet supports strong, resilient nails from within
Where to find your nail inspiration
Still searching for your look? Márcia suggests drawing from three reliable sources: nature, with its rich seasonal textures and hues; fashion trends, which consistently inform beauty choices; and celebrities, who often preview what’s next in style.
The inspiration for fall nails is endless. What matters most is finding what makes you feel good.
