7 min to read

Autumn is settling in, bringing with it leaves that turn russet, blankets that invite cosy nights in and evenings to pamper your toenails! For a seasonal pedicure, now's the time to bring out your prettiest polish colours to warm up your toes. Intense burgundies, comforting browns or understated greens, the choice is wide. Find your inspiration with our selection of good-mood, ultra-trendy shades.

The best pedicure colours for autumn 2026

As the days grow shorter and the trees dress themselves in shimmering colours, it's time to match your nail polish right down to your toes! This season, pedicures follow the same logic as your autumn manicure : enveloping, milky or subtly pearlescent shades, echoing the colours of nature near and far, and the seasonal moods of both city and countryside. The common thread remains depth: bright colours give way to more nuanced tones for back-to-school looks full of character and elegance. Rich browns, earthy reds and oranges, burgundy and matcha… your toes will be warmly coloured over the coming months thanks to the Green™ nail polish and Green Flash™ Gel Polish palette.

Rich browns

In autumn, warm colours inspired by plants or minerals are ideal for warming up the atmosphere. Sandstone, for its part, revisits autumn browns from a more shimmering angle. This pearly light brown from the Grand Canyon collection recalls sand dunes shimmering under the last rays of sunshine. Perfect for extending summer!

Time for a change of mood: with its chocolate shade lifted with a hint of purple, Clove is the ideal shade to accompany your first evenings by the fire. Wear it with an ecru cashmere jumper as cosy as a blanket.

 

Deep reds

Another new addition to the Grand Canyon collection, Grenat is a brownish red with mahogany highlights that evokes the richness of precious stones and the depth of a fine vintage wine. A polish with real character, less classic than a bright red but just as elegant. Indulge without restraint!

Or maybe Bohème will become your new autumn must-have. We never tire of this red polish with brown undertones with its distinctly Parisian air, as timeless as it is modern, that makes you want to stroll along the banks of the Seine.

 

Plums and powder pinks

If you want to go full autumn, Prune is sure to win you over. Deep and mysterious, this burgundy polish dresses your toenails with class and boldness, in a velvet nails style. THE must-have colour of this Autumn-Winter 2026-27 season!

For a more delicate pedicure, go for Bois de Rose, an old rose polish that's chic in any circumstance. A soft shade, in tune with the cosy mood, that flatters fair complexions just as beautifully as the deepest skin tones. A shade that invites you to curl up on the sofa with a cup of tea and a good book.

 

Desert-inspired oranges

The new nude of autumn is Milky Peach ! This orange-beige, milky-textured shade, creamy and enveloping, draws its inspiration from the ochre cliffs of American canyons. It instantly lights up feet of every skin tone, and works just as well with casual looks as with dressed-up outfits.

For more intensity, don't hesitate to go for Terracotta. We love this burnt orange-red that recalls the light of the golden hour. Warm and sun-drenched, it fills your feet with vibrant energy.

 

Refined greens

Missed your matcha latte over summer ? Reconnect with the plant-like freshness and creamy softness of this drink thanks to Milky Matcha, a milky green polish released in limited edition to celebrate Manucurist's 10th anniversary. A delicate, modern shade that brings an unexpected pop to your toes.

If you prefer to dress your feet in more understated, pastoral tones, treat yourself to Khaki polish. With its grey undertones, this green polish is warmer than it looks. Once you've tried it, you won't be able to go without it.

 

Blue-greys

For a subtle, minimalist pedicure, we recommend Mist Grey, a blue polish with grey undertones that echoes the misty mood of autumn mornings. Ideal for waking up gently.

If you're after something deeper and more magnetic, Poppy Seed nail polish is just waiting for you. This stormy, highly opaque blue-grey covers your toenails with elegance and puts a signature on your back-to-school looks.

 

Nudes and taupes

Stop searching for the perfect nude polish, it's right here! Beige is a flesh-toned polish with a crystal-clear translucency, ideal for everyday wear. A safe bet for a "clean girl" look that's so chic in every circumstance.

Clay could also win your favour. Its taupe tone, a refined blend of chestnut and grey, flatters every skin tone and matches your autumn outfits. A shade that quietly makes its mark and ensures a pedicure that's both understated and highly desirable.

 

Caring for your feet from back-to-school until winter arrives

After summer, our feet have often been through a thousand adventures between sun, sand and sea… We're left with dry, weakened nails and a summer pedicure that's now just a memory. It's time to switch to back to work mode, including for your toenails. Here are our recommendations for giving your toenails a boost:

Getting beautiful, natural-looking toenails

What if you gave your toenails a rejuvenating treatment with a resurfacing routine inspired by Japanese manicures ? That's exactly what the Glossy Booster Duo offers: its formula, based on glycolic acid, citric acid and plant-derived glycerine, gently exfoliates, hydrates and smooths your nails for a long-lasting glossy effect. To use it, start by applying the glycolic peel to bare nails, then massage gently until fully absorbed. Next, move on to buffing with the pale pink side of the buffer, to smooth the surface and blur small imperfections. Finally, the glossy finishing touch: a pass with the bright pink side, which polishes the nail and seals the layers for a radiant shine.

 

Having the right pedicure tools

Good news! Manucurist offers a Glass Foot File. With its fine 180 grit, it gently exfoliates the heel, leaving skin smooth from the very first use. Easy to clean and reusable indefinitely, 100% recyclable and easy to handle, it will be your feet's ally for a long time to come.

Files and buffers remain essential tools for maintaining your toenails day to day. Preferably use the coarse grit side (the side without the logo) to even out the edge of your toenails and smooth their surface before applying polish.

 

Last but not least: don't forget to moisturise

Finally, don't forget hydration, it's the key to keeping feet soft and nails radiant. Nourishing Cuticle Oil deeply nourishes them thanks to its formula combining six botanical oils. And for a finish worthy of a spa treatment, the Nourishing Nail Pen lets you soothe and rehydrate cuticles and nails thanks to its formula based on castor oil, vitamin E and pistachio tree extracts.

 

This autumn, forget pastel colours and vitamin-boosted pop colors : your pedicure becomes a reflection of the moment's trends. Brown, burgundy, green or terracotta polishes… all these autumn colours make their way to your toe tips. With a suitable care routine, your feet will stay beautiful, strong and irresistibly elegant. Now it's your turn to play and compose your palette!
