I love funky nail art as much as the next girl, but I usually don’t have the time or patience to do it myself. These days I’m all about an easy at-home manicure, and with fall officially upon us I’m on the hunt for new colors and textures to add to my nail kit. It’s time to trade in the hot pinks and corals of summer, and transition to inky blacks, jewel tones, neutral mattes, and richer nudes.

What’s your favorite polish this time of year?

    I’m loving matte right now! I got a mini 99cent bottle of matte topcoat from Sally’s beauty supply and love the effect. I think a classic solid color is perfect for fall

    I love the play on the French manicure in the picture! I’m thinking about a burgundy or copper type color this autumn. Any suggestions on brands that won’t chip after 1-2 days?

    Those mattes are really pretty. I love Essie’s Smokin’ Hot with a gold glitter on top. It reminds me of Starry Night. :)

    I <3 Lincoln Park After Dark by OPI and would like a jeweled-toned green to recreate the lower right corner manicure! =) I've never tried a matte polish so it would be interesting to do!

    Grays and soft beige. I always think I am going to try something more funky and always chicken out! Maybe I should just try something different and stop being so Polish safe :)
