Say ‘goodbye’ to neon brights and ‘hello’ to jewel tones. It’s fall and with the new season comes a fresh supply of nail colours. Think deep, rich, and bold! Here are some fall colours we cannot wait try this season!

Neutrals

Get back to basics with a neutral shade. Whether it’s grey or nude, these colours will go with everything and makes your nails look polished, pretty and sophisticated. For a little more pizzazz, add a little glitter to the tips.

Try Essence Colour and Go in “Dare it Nude” ($1.49) or Essie nail polish in “Master Plan ($9)

 

 

Navy 

A bold yet romantic colour, navy is an excellent choice for the fall. This shade is flattering to every skin tone and keeps your nails looking elegant and professional.

Try Revlon Nail Enamel in “Urban” ($5) or Butter London Nail Lacquer in “Royal Navy” ($15)  

 

 

Deep Red 

What better way to celebrate the new season than with wearing one of fall’s signature colours. Somewhere between a dark oxblood and berry red these shades are classic and versatile. Wear it alone or try a design like a reverse French Mani or tribal print.

Try Gosh Cosmetics Nail Polish in “Berry Me” ($7) or Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish in “Just Walk Away Renee” ($18)

 

 

Black 

Black is an edgy but easy shade to pull off for fall. Whether you wear a shiny or matte topcoat, your mani will look simple, chic, and classic. For some extra glamour try an accent nail. If you’re feeling extra daring try adding studs. Rock on!

Try Essie nail polish in “Licorice” ($9) or Gosh Cosmetics Nail Polish in “Nero” ($7)

 

 Metallic 

Usually reserved for your accent nail, metallic shades add texture, and drama. From a heavy metal to a light shimmery gold, you can find a shade to fit your style.

Try Marc Jacobs Beauty Nail Glaze in “Petra” ($18) or Sephora Collection Color Hit Nail Polish in “Engagement Ring” ($7)
