Fall DIYS For a Fall Palette

This is the heart of fall: the gold of a cornfield and the amber of a candle flame. Mix a few neighboring shades in one design, as on this velvet corn, and the crystals read like kernels catching the light.

Colors: Aurum, Honey, Gold Quartz + AB, Light Gold Quartz, Gold Beryl, Citrine + AB, Jonquil, Light Topaz + AB, Topaz + AB, Light Colorado Topaz + AB, Sun + AB, Sunrise. Shop the Gold and Yellow families.

These shades are bright, warm, and a little bold, and they suit pumpkins, porch decor, and anything that should be seen from across the yard. Pair orange and red with AB for a color shift as you walk past. On the stacked pumpkins, you can use DIY appliques as leaves for a pop of color and dimension.

Colors: Apricot, Hyacinth + AB, Padparadscha + AB, Lava, Red Flame, Light Siam + AB, Siam + AB, Light Peach + AB, Rose Peach. Shop the Orange, Red, and Peach and Coral families.

Not every fall look needs a loud color. Soft golds beside cream, khaki, and smoky browns feel quiet and a little glamorous, and they work on a table or mantel well past the season.

Colors: Starlight Gold, Blond Flare, Khaki, Smoked Topaz, Chocolate + AB, Light Graphite, Labrador, Volcano, Biarritz. Shop the Brown and Neutral families.

A fall manicure can start with something as simple as soft peach polish. Here, each accent nail gets its own look: a cluster of AB crystals, a crystal X, and a triangle of Crystal Faerie from Preciosa^®, with a fine scatter of sparkle on another. Pick one bold spot, and let the crystals add the dimension.

To apply, start with a base coat and two coats of polish. Place the stones with tweezers or a pick-up tool, then add top coat only around the stones, not over them.

Fall colors to try: Aurum, Gold Quartz, Starlight Gold, Sun, Sunrise, Hyacinth, Padparadscha, Lava, Red Flame, Red Velvet, Purple Velvet, Vintage Rose. Shop Crystals for Nails, or read more in New Autumn Manicure Trends To Try This Season.
