Falls Hot New Nail Hues

According to Patricia Yankee, a nail pro at NYCs Dashing Diva, dark lacquers that have blue undertones complement light skin tones. Try a shade of deep plum, navy, burgundy, or chocolate brown.

Dont forget that clear base coat! You wouldnt want your nail surface to accumulate stains.

Celebrity nail pro Deborah Lippman, who works with Glee star Lea Michele, suggests that olive skin tones look best with warmer, yellow-based polishes. Go for chocolates and bright tomato hues to bring out your best color.

The new military-inspired shades such as olive-green, greige (gray-beige) and khaki look great against medium skin tones, says Lippman.

Rihannas manicurist Kimmie Kyees says that vibrant polish works really well against dark and bronze skin tones. Keep your eyes on colors like fuchsia, violet, or any hue with a hint of metallic sparkle.

This falls fashion features a muted palette, so colorful nails are an ideal way to add pizzazz to your outfit, says Kyees.
