Nail It! Nail Color and Design Trends for Fall

With September here, it’s time to bid a fond farewell to summer and welcome the coming of autumn. We will miss the warm weather and time by the pool, but the new season offers exciting opportunities for change as the refreshing, cool breezes move in. It’s time to take a look at some fun new fashion trends that are coming your way for fall: we’ve looked at hairstyle trends, so today we’ll focus on nail art! Here’s the latest:

Metallics will be popular, and not just as full-nail colors but also as highlights against neutral palettes. For an unforgettable effect, metallics can be applied to the tips, as an outline, or even as a thin vertical line from tip to cuticle, always against a light or nude background.

Another versatile highlight color is glossy black, which also looks great as both a highlight and full color. Try a 50/50 look with any shade (the second shade can match or contrast your outfit), or add black as an accent or geo-shape with any background.

Color blocking is a fun trend that uses a variety of shades to add stripes, dots, and geometric patterns in a mix of colors. The possibilities are endless – and fun!

Popular colors for the season include neutrals, which complement the “less-is-more” trend in hair and makeup, pinks and corals, which add a romantic theme, hot red, which makes a bold statement, and orange, which follows the retro trend.

For a unique design trend, nail artists are using the dry brushing technique, which leaves a beautiful, hand-painted look that is unique for each nail. The technique involves using a makeup brush to smear the polish into a freehand design that is different on every nail. The results are amazing!
