The Blues
We have a big crush on blue, as did some of our favorite designers. From navy and grayish to barely-there blue, we can't wait to try this color on for size. Notice that matte colors made an appearance too.

The Nudes
Whether it's literally transparent or a flesh-colored opaque look, nude is in for fall. And why not show off your filing, shaping, and moisturizing efforts?

The Reds
When it came to the color of the season, oxblood was it. So it comes as no surprise this was a big nail color trend too. But don't discount orange-red or the deepest almost-black version of this erstwhile nail shade.

The Mon Dieu(s)!
Nail art was taken to a whole new level, from a hardcore medieval spin to DIY-looking tribal to midnight black, there's no shortage of imagination this season. Sure, you might have to scrap it after the big event (spikes make typing somewhat difficult), but for a serious wow-factor, this can be your best bet.
