Colors of Fall....Nails That Is!

It is true that I get excited for every seasonal change....it means shaking up your wardrobe, buying new staple pieces, and saying hello to clothes you've missed. However, there is something extra exciting about this year's season change. There seem to be so many fabulous new trends this upcoming fall and winter. From crazy shoes that aren't just for the runway anymore, to hats, hats, and more hats! I would love to try them all, but alas my money tree in the backyard has yet to take root. Today I want to highlight one of the simplest ways to embrace the new crisp bite that's in the air....

Autumn Nails:
This has to be the most inexpensive way to adopt the new season. Change nail color! I'm a little obsessed with painting my nails. {as you will see here} They tend to crack and chip if they don't have on a sassy coat, so I like to keep it that way. 


MAC's new line for fall is nothing short of genius. They've created fall colors to reflect the Disney vilains. To make them even better, the colors are blends of multiple shades to combine one amazing, Disney villain worthy nail polish! I know, in the words of my style icon, Rachel Zoe, it's "bananas"! For a girl who can't seem to make up her mind about nail color {if it was socially acceptable to wear multiple at a time, I'm pretty sure I would!} sounds like my dream solution. The one I'm obsessing over is this:

If I want a little more 'subdued' look....this is the new fall neutral. As a bonus, it goes with everything! No changing your nail polish last minute to match your outfit. {please tell me I'm not the only one who does this}

Mad props go out to my friend Kelly for discovering the incredible shades in the $1.99 line of Wet n' Wild. This is the first one I picked up, and at this price I'm sure I'll be back for more:

I just discovered this beautiful color, and again at a phenomenal price....just $4.99! It's red without being too red, and dark without being too dark. Autumn nail perfection!

Alas, I'm all too sure that at some point in the up and coming months, I will return to my old friend and staple color...


{OPI Lincoln Park After Dark}

At first glance this may appear black, but it's actually a fantastic blend of deep, deep purples. I tend to wear this even in the warmer months just because it looks that fabulous!
