Just as makeup trends change with the seasons, so do manicure trends. When fall comes around, we tend to see nail colors that match the moody vibes of the season. This year, Essie’s Step Out of Line fall 2023 collection is all about celebrating self expression with darker, sophisticated shades. Inspired by pulsing bass and late nights spent tearing up the dance floor, the rich hues exude glamour and drama. Whether you’re wearing each shade on its own or using multiple shades together to create nail art, find the hue for you from the new collection below and get ready to tap into your nocturnal side.

Essie Fall 2023 Step Out of Line Collection

Essie Meet Me at Midnight

A deep olive green with yellow undertones, Meet Me at Midnight is a versatile neutral that complements classic fall colors like browns, oranges and dark reds. Have you been wanting to try the martini nail art trend? This color will help you get the look.

Essie Underground Ball

If you prefer to rock brighter colors on your nails, try Underground Ball. This rich plum has the dark, moody energy of the other shades in the collection, but the violet tones give it a slightly more playful edge.

Essie Lights Down, Music Up

Brown has been a major trending nail color this fall with the popularity of hot chocolate nails, but if true brown isn’t your thing, opt for Lights Down, Music Up instead. It’s a mauve brown with red undertones that gives us all of the ‘90s nostalgia.

Essie Step Out of Line

Navy blue is one of our favorite neutral fall nail staples for when you don’t feel like committing to a black mani, but still want to stick to a darker palette. The collection’s namesake shade, Step Out of Line, is a dark indigo blue with red undertones.

Essie Dance ‘Til Dawn

The sole light option in the collection, Dance ‘Til Dawn is an opaque light pink with a grayish-white base. It’s perfect for embracing the coquette nails aesthetic that’s been all over Instagram and TikTok this year.

Essie Full Blast

When it comes to fall nail colors, it doesn’t get more classic than burgundy. You can’t go wrong with a vampy ruby red, such as this Full Blast shade.
