Nail Files: My Fall Polish Picks
I’ve got my eye on three hues when it comes to nail polish for fall: navy, dark green, and metallic shades such as gold and gunmetal.
Navy
I noticed navy while I was on my book tour. From matte midnights to shimmery sapphires, the unofficial polish du jour was clearly navy. Here are a few of my favorite twilight-inspired polishes: OPI Russian Navy (has a touch of shimmer), Yves Saint Lauren Bleu Cobalt (a lovely flat blue), and RGB Cobalt.
Dark Green
I wore this shade on my nails throughout Fashion Week earlier this fall and I cannot seem to get enough of it. I personally love American Apparel’s Hunter Nail Lacquer, but Butter London British Racing Green is a really great option too (if you want to splurge).
Metallics
I like to think of metallic shades such as gold and graphite as dressed up neutrals for fall. They go with practically everything and I like the touch of glimmer they offer. My favorite metallic polishes include Chanel Diwali, Deborah Lippmann Believe, and Essie No Place Like Chrome.

Loving all three of these colors! I never get sick of OPI Lincoln Park After Dark, the perfect dark purple color. Also loving glitter gradient nails for the holidays!

I never thought I could pull it off, but I absolutely love OPI's Russian Navy.
I have tried just about every color of Shellac my manicurist has and I probably have to go with browns for fall, with a little glitter. -
I have been seeing a lot of dark colors like the navy and dark green too, and a lot of darker colors in general. I did my nails in a dark purple color here

My favourite Fall Manicures are:
Dark Green: I love the colour Dark Green especially No7 Stay Perfect Totally Teal colour. I normally wouldn't wear this colour and was skeptical at first but discover that I love wearing it. It also means I can match it to my outfits as well! :)
Dark Red: I know Dark Red is a common colour but I love how it can associate itself with warmth and in particular matches Christmas coming up soon. Plus, it brightens up a dull outfit with a splash of colour. Plus, I can match the Dark Green and Dark Red at Christmas.
Light Green Pastel: I chose this for fall because even though metallics are popular, I wanted a different twist on my nails. I don't usually wear pastels on my nails at all, I tend to wear dark colours. Also, since England has cold wet and windy weather, I tend to wear summer clothes in winter and use a lot of layering to keep me warm. This shade reminds me of the summer days in winter, bright and fresh and it brightens up my day.

I am a huge Essie Fan! My favorites are Dont Sweater it, a great neutral to go with everything. Big Spender, a fun bright purple to transition from late summer to fall. I also love School of Hard Rocks, which is a greenish/blue.
On a budget, I like Ulta Femme Fatale. -
Love the nail polish colors I use them since last year & they are my favorite...
