Metallic and Deep Jewel Tones for Fall
The time has come to put away the light summery hues and replace them with autumn’s intense, rather moody palette. I’ve been experimenting with the trendiest shades in nail polish; each nail on my left hand is painted a different color: deep indigo blue, oxblood, gold, charcoal gray and metallic green.
Other on-trend fall colors include chocolate, copper, amethyst, teal and old-fashioned red for a retro look. So many fabulous colors and so little time (and once again I’ve run out of fingers to paint, alas!)
Remember, dark nail colors look best if your nails are not too short and filed to a chic, elongated oval shape.
Here are some of my picks for fall 2013:
Deep red/oxblood
Indigo
Green/teal
Gold/metallic
Gray
