Fall 2011 Trend Report: Hottest Hues for Nails

The 2011 fall season is almost here!

And that means it's time to put away our halter tops and short shorts and it's time to don on our coats and boots!

 It'll be a few more months in Miami before we can slip into our boots and cold armor, but we can definitely start celebrating the weather by changing the hues of our polishes.

So put away the fun bright colors and opt for darker rich colors.

As you already know, lacquers are an important fashion accessory just like shoes and handbags. They're also a statement staple are used as the first transitional item between seasons.

The following colors have been all over the fashion runways and will be seen on the streets!

Trend # 1: Jewel tone colors

Greens:

Hunter greens. Olive greens. Grassy greens. Any kind of green really.

This hue is Peridot and it's from Chanel.  It's not only my favorite green, but it's actually my favorite color of the season.


Blues:

Royal blues. Sky blues.

My favorite blue?  Dior's blue denim. I love the richness of it and because it's a Dior color I know it will have a smooth finish.

Reds:

Deep wines. Bright reds. Red is the color of confidence and nothing says "I'm a confident woman,"  like this red by Lancome.

Bang Bang Red

Purples.

Deep purples. Indigo purples. Plums.

I love this berry inspired shade Celine by Zoya. Ultra feminine and the color looks great on any skin tone.

Trend # 2: Rusts and Browns

Rusts:

Oranges. Burnt browns.

Very structured by Essie reinvents the browns we have seen in the past by infusing an orange undertone into the color. This color embodies the essence of fall.

Browns:

Chocolate browns. Classic browns.

Chocolate by Dolce & Gabbana is a decadent color that can get you through the entire fall and winter seasons.

Trend # 3: Grays and Metallics

My favorite gray for this season is Essie's Power Clutch from their handbag inspired collection.

This is the kind of color that makes you want to find a matching pair of shoes and handbag to go with it, which I'm sure is what Essie set out to capture.

Metallics/Sparkles:

This year Serena Williams teamed up with polish giant OPI and created the Glam Slam collection.

I love this metallic color.

Trend # 4: Magnetic

Last year we saw the inception of crackle nails, which I personally wasn't a fan of. This year there's a lot of buzz surrounding the magnetic look, which has been popularized by LCN.

Beauty insiders have said the magnetic look is this year's more polished version of the crackle look.

It basically utilizes their trademark magnetic polishes along with 2 magnets that each create an effect, be it diagonal lines or stars.

I love the psychedelic look .

Below is a video that you can find onbthe LCN site that shows you how can achieve this look.

Trend # 5: Neutrals/Beiges:

Neutral colors are classics and will always be in fashion, which is why they aren't really a trend. But you will still see a lot of it during the cold months ahead.

My pick?

Essie's Allure. Yes, that's the same color that Kate Middleton wore on her wedding day, so it's a very special color.


Ladies what colors will you be wearing this fall?
