This autumn’s color palette has a case of
split personality disorder. Classic harvest shades like chocolate and burnt
orange top the list of what’s hot, but this year they share the spotlight with
“electric” colors like teal and chartreuse. This is good news for fashionistas
who don’t want to limit their fall wardrobe. You’re likely to find a perfect
nail color match for every outfit, whether you like to go loud, or prefer a softer,
more subtle look. No matter your style, make sure your nails are in tip-top
shape with the season’s best colors! Here’s a sneak peek at what is going to be
hot for fall 2013.
The
Classics – Tried and True
Blood Red: This one should be obvious. Red
is an all-season all-star, and with Halloween around the corner deeper shades
of red gain the perfect mix of spooky and sultry connotations.
Burnt Orange The leaves are turning colors
and you will be turning heads with this season’s trend towards colors like
pumpkin and sienna.
Navy & Midnight Blue: The days are
getting shorter and that means the nights are getting longer. Celebrate this
shift with celestial blues that conjure up starry, moonlit skies.
Chocolate: Here’s another seasonal
favorite. Warm brown tones are easy to pair with this year’s oversized tweed
jackets and revamped argyle prints.
Nude: It may be getting cold outside, but
you can still go au naturel. Nude nail polish is a great choice when you want
to look put together without looking overdone.
Gray: Gray skies don’t have to leave you
feeling blue. This color is in and can help balance brighter statement
pieces—like Sandra
Bullock’s pink, green, and orange Alex Perry dress—that might be a little
bold on their own. Speaking of bold…
The
Wild Side – Vamp Up Your Look
Poppy: Floral reds and oranges add a zip of
color to fall’s muted tones. These shades are perfect for a night on the town
or an twilight hayride through the pumpkin patch.
Chartreuse: Halfway between green and
yellow, this color conjures up the height of springtime’s glory. Keep your fall
outfits fresh with chartreuse nails.
Teal: Teal tops this season’s list of
punchy electric hues. Go bold with this nail color option and you’ll be the
talk of the town all autumn long.
Amethyst: A quick glance at the nail polish
racks will turn up all kinds of shades that call themselves ‘amethyst.’ Don’t
fret—you can’t go wrong with any of these, from lilac to grape, so long as you
don’t go any darker than plum. Inspired by the ripe fruits of the harvest
season, pair these purples with brown, gray, and cream-colored outfits.
Glitter: All that glitters is not gold, but
it is fashion-forward this fall. Any
shimmery shade will do, but you’ll score extra style points if you stick to the
colors listed above.
