New Season is here…Polish Colors for Fall 2011

Hello peachies! This fall season has all of the expected colors like jewel tones trending with pops of the unexpected like beige or nude.  From gorgeous greens and grays to beautiful browns and blues, there are definitely enough shades of color to go around this fall for everyone. 

Green

 

DL's Billionaire



There have been greens that showed up throughout the year in different collections.  You will notice the greens in the various fall collections are very earthy, murky and camouflage-y sometimes with an unexpected twist like an iridescent finish.  Most of the popular nail lacquer brands like OPI, Essie and Deborah Lippman have incorporated a green in their fall collection.                     



Other brands like Chanel and Butter London also have amazing greens with a twist in the finish in their collection.

Gray



DL's Stormy Weather



Creamy grays, metallic grays…grays everywhere.  Grays, especially gray crèmes, came on the scene a couple of years ago.  They are very chic and the unusual neutral.  The trend continues into this fall with splendid slate- and marvelous metallic-colored lacquers. OPI and Deborah Lippmann incorporated gray crèmes in their fall collection while Chanel  and Orly opted for metallic grays into their collections. 

Beige and Brown



Essie Case Study



Carrying the nude trend over to the fall, beiges are big this season.  Whether it is yellow- or pink-based beige, you are sure to find one that looks great on you.  The nail polish brand, Zoya, dedicated one of their fall collections, Touch, to nude and beige colors.   



China Glaze Street Chic

 

The obvious color of fall, brown and its variations like taupe, is making its appearance this fall and the shades are sure not to disappoint.  



Blue and Purple

Blue and purple are poster children for jewel tones.  Smoky blues are all the rave this season.

Chanel's Les Jeans De Chanel collection dedicated the entire theme to blues.   Rescue Beauty Lounge incorporated a blue in the latest collection Firebird called Piu Mosso, described by Ji as an “inky blue-black with a flash of orange.”  OPI also has an inky blue cream, Roadhouse Blues.

Purple, whether it’s a subdued mauve or inky violet, this hue is included in the fall trend.

Red and Rust



OPI Color to Diner For







Summer, orangey reds are being traded in this fall for wine- and rust- tinged reds.   Brands like OPI and China Glaze are offering  some ravishing wine-colored reds in their latest collections. 

Rusty reds, a lovely combo of brown and red, are making a spotlight appearance this fall.  Armored with glamorous sophistication, these rust-colored hues will sure put you in the autumn state of mind.

So peachies! What say you?  Which colors are you gushing over?  These hot colors scream sophisication. You know I am partial to green and this season is no exception.  I am surprisingly amped to try the rust colors.  I don’t know about you but I am a fall baby who loves the autumn season and can’t wait to try some of these colors!
