Fabulous Fall
Nails By Jessalyn Holsing
A
utumn brings a particular aesthetic to mind, with glorious gold, warm orange, deep burgundy, and cozy brown hues so prevalent each year surrounding this season, it’s easy to fall under the assumption that those same tones will always be at the forefront. However, this season we’re seeing something bolder yet just as beautiful for fun, fabulous, and even funky nail trends. This year, we’re looking at some bountiful blues. Not talking blistering sky or bright oceanic tones here; no, instead we’re looking more towards deep and soulful navy and gentle cornflower blue. Think those drowsy days where it’s just breezy enough that the sound of leaves rustling backdropped against a peaceful autumnal sky. If you want to go deeper, even midnight blue is on-trend. The other colors we’re seeing this fall are luscious forest greens. Although most leaves have changed—and in some cases even dropped—we’re keeping cozy pines in mind as we paint our nails deep, natural greens. Think your favorite spices: basil, sage, even rosemary: these natural greens will make for lovely nails accented alongside a neutral taupe or white. As far as patterns go, we’re seeing angles and geometric shapes! Go diagonal across a nail or two for an accent, or do it across the board. There are also fun and angular stairstep shapes we’re seeing climbing across both coffin-style nail shapes and the classic rounded tip. Swirl patterns and crisscross plaid-like styles are also in, so feel free to experiment and individualize while you show off your flashy, fun nails! n
