One of my favorite parts about entering a new season is how the shift in weather brings about a shift in our moods, and how that mood shift then translates to a change in colors in our wardrobe, hair, and makeup. While summer is usually about keeping things light and bright, fall always tends to be deeper, darker, and richer. I asked our lovely in-house makeup artist April for her favorite nail trends for Fall 2013.
Metallics are certainly hot this season, in all different hues. April recommends Essie’s Nothing Else Metals, which has a beautiful purplish undertone. Keeping it metallically basic, we also love Essie’s No Place Like Chrome, pictured below.
We’re obsessed with black nails for fall, and this year we like adding a little bit of added excitement. Here we used Maybelline’s Color Show Nail Lacquer in Onyx Rush as a base and then created a half moon shape at the tip of the nail with Free People polish in gold.
Red is always a staple when it comes to fall nails, and this season we’re going deep and moody. April recommends Chanel’s La Vernis Nail Colour in Rouge Noir as a go-to for this season.
Which trend will make its way onto your nails this fall?

Great ideas! Leaves drawn on with toothpicks are also a lot of fun, yet take a bit o practice.

Love them all!
I made metallic nail polish the other night by mixing my eyeshadow in clear nail polish. The fact that I’m wearing metallic nail polish and just now seeing this article, means that I’m very fashionable :)
Love picture #3, but I’m not a big fan of gold… Decided to try a little twist – looks pretty nice with silver!
I have been wearing Essie’s No Place Like Chrome all summer long and I love it! It’s the perfect color to bring out a tan, even if it does need more than one topcoat to stay.
dark red is my color

why did you paint all over your cuticles? i think your mani would have looked better with clean lines.
I tried all of these ideas and mixed up the colors and I LOVE it!!
