Nail Polish is a cheap and fun way to spice up any outfit, and because of all the different brands and shades of polish, it is impossible not to find one you love! However, when it comes to the fall, it is important to know what is in and what is out.
Over the past few years, I’ve noticed that darker shades of nail polish are becoming very popular, especially during the fall. I performed a survey where I asked fifteen girls whether they preferred dark shades or light shades for the fall season and fourteen out of the fifteen said they prefer dark shades. With that being said, you should say goodbye to those neon’s and bright colors for the next few months! Don’t believe me? Well here are a few other sites opinions on what they think are in this season.
Right now those deep fall colors (reds and browns), dark purple and grays, and neutral colors are very popular. OPI has just released their fall line of polishes known as the “Touring America” line. It consists of 12 shades of polish which all resemble the basic fall colors and deep grays. My personal favorites are “I Brake for Manicures” and “Honk if you love OPI.” To check all the colors out visit: http://www.refinery29.com/opi-s-fall-nail-polish-collection-goes-road-trippin
Sally Hansen’s new line known as “Salon Effects” (press on polish) has also come up with some new patterns for the season. They have skulls, ghost shapes, and spider webs for those who really enjoy getting into the Halloween spirit. If these don’t fit your style, they have many other patterns such as animal prints and checkered prints.

Even the famous Oprah Winfrey has a lot to say about this fall’s nail polish selections. On Oprah.com you can check out her “Fall Fashion Handbook” which includes many popular shades of polish. The Handbook even tells you where you can purchase these polishes and for how much!

All three of these websites are just a few places to check out the latest nail polish trends. Just remember, for the fall season stay away from those bright colors and try to stick to the more dark and neutral tones. The dark and neutral tones tend to match more outfits which means you won’t have to change your nail polish as often in order to match whatever it is you are wearing!
