Behold These Essie Nail Polish Shades Perfect for Fall — Including ‘Bordeaux,’ ‘Wicked’ and More!

Before we dive — ahem, fall — into this roundup of Essie nail polish shades perfect for autumn, it’s important to note that unlike wearing white after Labor Day, there are no “rules” when it comes to the color you rock on your nails. 

If you happen to enjoy wearing “Soles on Fire” (a bright orange) or “Take the Lead” (a neon blue) all year long, by all means … you should! However, at Life & Style, we happen to be big fans of all things dark, cool and smokey. Oh, and of course, the occasional shimmer.

With that, we’ve put together a list of the only shades — in our humble opinion — you’ll need to consider this season. From “Bordeaux” to “Wicked” and more, keep scrolling to seem them all!
