Nails for Fall

The wonderful thing about nail polish is that it's a relatively guilt-free indulgence. Even if you were to really splurge and go crazy, nail polish prices usually top out around $30, but generally can be purchased for under $10 for a really quality product. Polish is also a really great way to play with color, accessorize an outfit and start a conversation (I always get comments and compliments on my non-traditional nail colors.)
These are my favorite colors for fall. The first two embody the gray trend that is popular now for nails and everything else. Cool Reserve is a subdued grey/purple/mauve by MAC and designer Jin Soon Choi. This color gives a twist to your trendy gray nails. The other gray is Zoya's Harley Twist, a pearly soft gray that is very feminine. Rosie Lee by Butter London, a sparkly peach, is the perfect mix of elegance and fun. I cannot get enough of the color! It just makes me happy. : ) The green trend is represented by two polishes here: Bloom's Kitty (a brand that the lovely
Lavabunny introduced me to) and OPI's Here Today Aragon Tomorrow (don't'cha just love polish names?). Kitty is similar to the rightfully hyped Chanel Jade, but is more muted, enabling it to better match fall wardrobes and seduce the nail polish meek. Aragon is a deep, yummy forest green. It's light enough to still read as green though, unlike many near-blacks. Next is Bloom's Bianca, a duochrome I could stare into for hours. Finally I have included the Blogger Collection from Rescue Beauty Lounge. RBL asked three bloggers (AllLaqueredUp, Scrangie and PolishAddict) to design their dream polish and made them a reality. They've also included a matte topcoat, so you can experiment with any of your colors in the matte trend. I can't find the collection as a package, but they can be purchased separately
here.
Hope you like them and have fun!
