New Nail Trends This Fall
Nails are having a major moment this fall with unexpected colors and unique finishes. Once you set eyes on this season’s exciting options, you’ll be revved up for a fresh look.
By Ariana Finlayson
Green with Envy
These new jewel-toned hues give a whole new meaning to "going green." We found three different greens to suit your taste wherever it may lie within the green scene. Try Orly’s Enchanted Forest or Rimmel’s 60 Seconds Vinyl Shine Nail Polish in Camouflage. If you want to go more couture, Chanel’s Jade is the beautiful pastel green that was spotted on models during their Fall 2009 Ready-to-Wear runway show (and has us craving mint chocolate chip ice cream).
Matte Manis
Matte nail polish sounds counterintuitive, but a gloss-free finish looks really fresh and sophisticated this season. These manicures come off as lush and velvety as opposed to dull. To celebrate this trend, OPI's most popular shades have gotten a makeover that matte-ers in the Suede Collection. Try all-time favorites Russian Navy and Lincoln Park After Dark. Or add the Essie Matte About You Mattifier Top Coat, which will turn your beloved high-shine shade into a deep matte finish.
$8,50, opi.com and $10 at essieshop.com
Metal Heads
Metallics are a fun way to score a flashy look that's not too disco-ball glittery. We're big fans of the ultra-reflective additions to the Sally Hansen HD Nail Color Collection (Zip, Gigabyte, and Disc shown here). You should also check out Opulent Cloud, a gunmetal hue that appears lavender in certain light and was the exclusive shade of Tracy Reese's Fall 2009 Runway Show.
Gray Is the New Black
Gray nails — from dark graphite to pale dove — are more sophisticated and wearable than black, but just as edgy. Apply two coats of Essie in Chinchilly, a high-shine cement-inspired shade for a modern take on a neutral hue.
