This cozy taupe and rose gold nail look is exactly what you need for the fall season. The thumb and little finger are covered entirely in rose gold glitter, while the rest of the nails are painted with taupe nail polish and then finished with a glossy top coat, a touch of rose gold at the base, and a cable knit design on the ring finger.

This manicure has the ultimate fall look, with the cozy textured sweater design and gorgeous fall colors. The nails start black on the thumb and then lighten as you move down the hand to a camel beige shade on the little finger. Each finger is then decorated with a cable knit pattern with a textured finish to achieve that soft and cozy look.

Since pink and green are opposites on the color wheel, they make an excellent color combination for a manicure, as you can see from this nail design.
