Alert: Fall 2013 Nail Trends

We often forget that fashion goes beyond the clothes, handbags, and shoes. And one of which that always slips our minds is nail art. It amazes me how beautiful and intricate nail art can get these days. Regardless if you're using stickers, gems, or just the nail polish itself, nail art has come a long way and everyone's taking notice.


So just like any other fashion accessory, there were a few nail trends for fall that I noticed on both the Fashion Week catwalk and the streets of Taipei. And just like handbags or shoes, you'll want to add these to your collection soon! 

1. Dior - Destin / 2. Butter London - Champers / 3. Zoya - Minka / 4. Nicole by OPI - It Starts With Me / 5. YSL - Beige Gallery

Manifesting both simplicity and elegance, neutrals are the perfect shade for fall. Perfect for any occasion, not to mention goes great with any outfit, this is the exact color that's wearable for both lounging at home sipping on a nice cup of coffee or heading out for a night out with the girls. On top of it all, this is a shade that's great for all skin tones. I want to say that, but don't quote me on this, neutrals are the new French Manicure.

1. Nicole by OPI - Lemon Lolly / 2. American Apparel - Butter / 3. Deborah Lippmann - I Wanna Be Sedated / 4. China Glaze - Solar Power / 5. Butter London - Pimms

I been loving the pop of yellow trending this season. Whether is a patent leather belt, a pair of beautiful pumps, or manicured sparkly nails, yellow is making a statement this fall. As the days get cooler, yellow is a great way to brighten up any outfit. It's almost like having ten little suns following you throughout your day. 

1. Zoya - Channing / 2. Topshop - Nails in Pillar Box / 3. Butter London - Pillar Box Red / 4. Chanel - Cinema / 5. OPI - Lincoln Park After Dark

Let me think, let me think. Red is like Chanel. It's a classic. It'll never go out of style. It works for any season. All in all, one can never go wrong when deciding on red. There's blood red, oxblood red, maroon, etc; it all works. 

1. Deborah Lippmann - Va Va Voom / 2. Essie - After School Boy Blazer / 3. Butter London - Giddy Kpper / 4. Chanel - 667 Gel-Argus / 5. Nars - Galion

Blues should be a staple in everyone's collection. It's truly a color, next to neutral shades, that works with all skin tones. It's also a settle way to add color to your outfit. Fall fashion is all about the neutral shades so by adding a cobalt or electric blue on your nails, it can take your ordinary outfit to the next level. 

1. Illamasqua - Baptiste / 2. Urban Decay - Vice / 3. MAC 'Indulge' - Rebel / 4. OPI - Plugged-in Plum / 5. Nars - Purple Rain / 6. Nars - Fury

Purple is a beautiful shade. Both feminine and mysterious, it's the ideal color for all women. Purples with more red embodies the femininity of the shade. While purples with more blue give it a edgier feel. Regardless what style one is gravitating towards, purple is almost certain able to make the cut.

Nail polishes are not only a wonderful collection to have, but they also make great gifts for people. I hope this helps everyone narrow down the shades that they want to add to their stockpile or help a girlfriend expand hers!
