Gel nails are a mainstay in the manicure world, but what some people don’t realize is that the term applies to more than just polish. While gel nail polish is beloved for its long-lasting, typically high-shine finish, gel extensions (like those from Aprés) exist as well. While you can wear one or the other, oftentimes, gel tips are outfitted with gel polish for the most durable wear. Logistics aside, there’s no denying that gel manicures offer the materials and space to create longer-lasting nail art.
It’s for these reasons that we especially love gel applications for fall. After all, who doesn’t want a picture-perfect nail look to accompany all their favorite autumn festivities? To help you prepare for the season, we rounded up nearly two dozen gorgeous gel nail ideas for fall. Happy picking!
