Fall at Your Fingertips

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JMU chapter.

What do metallics, dark colors, nudes, and sparkles have in common?  They are all popular nail polish trends for Fall!  We have turned over a new leaf and what better way to say good-bye to summer (and lots of corals) than by spicing up your nails with trendy colors for this season?

The best thing about nail polish is that you can experiment with different colors as much as you’d like. One week you may be feeling a metallic to channel your inner rock-star, but by the following week you want to tone down your look with a simple nude (remember to go two shades above your skin tone!).
 

Nail polish is all about experimentation and fun. Dark, bold colors like military green could spice up just about any fall look, all while keeping fashion-forward around campus.  With all of these great colors, I know it’s going to be hard to settle on just one at a time. What is your favorite nail polish color for fall?
