Nail Trends To Fall For This Season

As the weather starts to get a bit cooler and turn to fall, we are quick to put away the whites and bright colors in our closets and switch up our look to include rich browns, spicy corals and earth tones. It is also time to shake up our accessories and opt for some of the new fall nail trends.

Matte Nail Polish –This is a trend that has been seen last fall, but is not going anywhere…and is definitely not for the timid! OPI has a new line of Matte Nail polish in 6 sophisticated shades that are sure to make a bold statement. If you are not ready to make the full jump into a matte finish, try Orly Matte Top Coat to turn your glossy polish into a flatter version that resembles a middle ground between the regular polish and the matte.

Ombre Effect – Also known as the gradient effect - a funky manicure that can be rocked in two different ways. This first look involves painting each finger a different color to create a bold effect. The second is a little more subtle, and involves having two colors blend together, lengthening your nails giving the impression of a two tone finish.   Lauren Conrad has been spotted recently with daring red nails that fade into a pretty pink.

Mood Polish – As children, we have to admit that we all loved mood rings… Now we have a fun, grownup version for our nails. In the Mood polish changes colors as your body temp fluctuates. From pretty peach in the morning as you sip your warm latte to a fiery coral in the afternoon when the day seems to be winding down, these colors will keep changing as your mood sees fit!

Reverse French Manicure – also known as a “half-moon manicure” gets its name from the difference in the color in the “moon” of the nail bed and the rest of the nail. This glamorous look became popular in the 1930’s.  Metallic gold / matte navy has been very popular on the runway.    Leighton Meister, Rihanna, Megan Fox, and Ciara  are all huge fans of the trend. 

Don’t be afraid to step outside of your “fashionista box” and dabble in these new Fall trends. Why not mix things up with a reversed mani using a sexy matte navy tip? Or an ombre flare using color changing polish? Any of these spicy trends are sure to heat up your fall wardrobe!
