Kiss your usual red and traditional pastel nail polishes bye-bye this season! All of your classic nail trends have taken an overhaul and have been revived for fall! For unbeatable selections and fair prices, Essie and Butter are musts for all collegiettes! For vampy, cold weather colors, Dior nail polishes, sold at Sephora, are perfect! You have free reign this season to do almost anything you want with those nails of yours, just so long as they aren’t basic!
Metallic
Don’t you love when trends from Junior High and beyond come back? They told us not to wear chrome or metallic nail polish, but ladies, it’s back in session! Try a metallic rust or orange shade to go seasonal! If you’re thinking ahead to winter, metallic greens (especially olives) are gorgeous and sure to turn heads!
Dirty Pastel
Those Easter egg shades of lavender, yellow, and mint green you wore during the spring months received a major revamp perfectly suitable for the cold seasons! Think of olives, grays, peacock teal-blues, and taupe shades next time you hit the salon. These colors are statement makers, while remaining subtle and chic.

Navy Blue and Dark Red
Blue made its mark in a serious way down many runways at New York’s Fall 2012 Fashion Week. Ranging from deep navy to intense azure or cerulean, blue is a must for all trendsetters this fall. A rich, burgundy nail is voguish and goes in harmony with the gorgeous colors of fall. These shades of blue and red will match anything in your closet, so you’ll never have a second thought when picking out a shade at the salon!
Oblong Oval Nails
I’ll give it to you simple -picture Lana Del Rey’s nails. Always long, pointy, and perfect! Fake nails with polka dot and checkered prints made an outstanding impression at Kate Spade’s fashion show last week in New York. Inspired by a picnic in the park during the 1960’s, you can expect to see this trend continue growing even after the cold subsides.
French Twists
No, not for your hair! We’re talking about a French manicure totally made over! Instead of a clear shade with white tips, try a clear base with red tips. For an edgy look, try black nail polish as a base, with white or silver half moons. You can keep this look sleek and elegant or go totally wild by mixing opposing colors, and that’s what is so great about this trend! You get to be the creator of a whole new French manicure.
