20 fall nail polishes that will spice up your mani this season
With temperatures dropping well below 60, it’s safe to say that fall is officially here. It’s time to bring out your sweaters, scarves, and boots. Even our beauty routines need to transition this season—to thicker creams, berry lipsticks, dark polishes.
For your next mani-pedi, test the waters with edgy shades that you normally wouldn’t gravitate toward.
And just because you’re temporarily retiring your fave bright shades, doesn’t mean fall nail polishes have to be boring.
