The changing of the season means new colours for your fall manicure styles. Summer shades give way to frosty beige, magenta and more neutral, natural shades for this season’s polishes. Read on and find out how to create, wear and match them.
Hands on...
A good manicure starts with proper nail care, to be sure. But we often forget about hand care, which is just as important if you want to put your best nails forward. So before you start your manicure, remember to pamper your hands. Keep these tips in mind:
- Care for your dry, chapped hands with a soothing, moisturizing hand mask;
- Scrub your hands to exfoliate the skin, leaving them soft and smooth;
- Apply a moisturizing cream to prepare your manicure;
- Soften your cuticles with a cream or balm, then gently push them back using a cuticle tool;
- Complete your hand care with a good nail treatment.
r the goal is to moisturize or strengthen them, your nails will be ready for polishing.
Or simply leave them as they are, au naturel!
Fall manicure ideas
Matching your nails with your clothes and makeup always looks good. And this fall, colours like frosty beige, magenta and more neutral shades are among the top nail trends.
Frosty nails
We love the natural, translucent colour of this look. Plus, it reminds us of a yummy glazed donut. Wear it on nails with rounded tips.
Magenta
Why not take fall to a whole new level this year. Try going magenta right down to your fingertips.
Neutral shades
This chic, timeless look matches with everything, so it’s no surprise that neutral shades are all the rage this fall.
Matching colours
This season's palette can be arranged in a number of creative ways:
- The arrival of autumn is a great time to play with patterns. Bring out the artist in you and create them yourself or try applying a stick-on varnish in seasonal colours. PS: don’t forget the top coat.
- Light beige, intense magenta, vibrant patterns... no matter what you choose, you can enhance your manicure with protective top coats of a different colour: lighter or darker... express your nails your way.
- Are neutral colours more your thing? Get creative and try blending different neutral nail polishes to create a gradient of shades.
Maintaining your manicure
Proper manicure maintenance is all about the protective top coat. Great news: there are a multitude of finishes to choose from. Just apply the right one for the look you want. From matte to glossy, the choice of finishes is virtually endless: holographic, candy-coated, opalescent, glossy or glow-in-the-dark... It’s a great way to get creative with this fall!
