Top Fall Nail Trends

Nail trends this fall seem to be either in the dark or daring categories – or both! Here’s a quick roundup of some of the biggest looks right now.


3D Accents


If you can glue it or press it onto a nail, somebody is wearing it! At Fashion Week last month we saw crystals, lace, bows, gold studs, and thick coats of glitter. One of my favorite nail art designs is also the easiest. Check out Ciate’s Cavair Manicure. I made this one of my Weekend Polish Pics (posted on my Facebook page every Friday!)

Matte


Until this year, when I thought of manicures, I only thought of shiny, glossy nails. Now, there is an edgier look emerging. Matte nail polish is getting more popular. You can buy polish that is complete devoid of shine or just add a matte top coat to the colors you already own. This look first got attention during Fashion Week in 2010 when models on the runway wore matte nails. Since then, many designers have sent the look down the catwalk. You will also be seeing new matte looks on QVC.com

Metallic


Gold and silver nails have been popular for a few seasons and continue to be hot, but this fall we are also seeing more burnished metallic. Some of the hottest colors include coppers, antique gold, and metallic olive. I'm finding that metallic shades are very forgiving. They are reflective enough that even minor chips can go largely unnoticed.

New Dark Moods


Colors that used to seem “out there” or not office appropriate are now commonplace. This year, we are seeing a lot of lush emeralds, deep navy, grey, oxblood, and black. A lot of nail trend experts seem to especially like navy, since it is a color that looks good on just about all skin tones. I love the Nails Inc. Winter polish collection and started wearing it in late July (I couldn't wait!)
