Hello again! Fall is finally upon us!
This means we can finally start wearing those fall nail polish colors. Fall
nail colors have got to be one of my favorites. I find the colors to be
extremely rich compared to the usual brighter colors we see in the spring and
summer. In order to achieve great looking nails there are a couple things we
will need. 1. Base Coat 2. Nail Color 3. Top Coat. Below I go into detail about
my favorite base coat, favorite two colors, and the best top coat.
Step 1- Base Coat
Base coat is extremely important for
ensuring that your polish lasts. For me, if I don’t use a base coat, then my
polish will chip within a couple of days. My favorite product for this is the
OPI Natural Base Coat. I have been using this product for several years and have no
complaints. It goes on easy and dries pretty quickly. I find that when I use
this base coat my polish lasts up to 7 days before starting to chip. One big
problem I have with some other base coat products is that they “shrink” the
nail polish. It ends up looking like you did not put polish on your entire
nail; this does not do that!
Step 2- Nail Color
Now I am going to talk about my two
absolute favorite colors for fall! My top two colors are OPI Lincoln Park AfterDark and China Glaze Salsa. Lincoln Park After Dark is an extremely dark
purple. When you are in the sun you can see the hints of purple peek though,
but the color almost looks black. This nail polish is perfect for fall because
of the dark tone. It also goes good with any outfit! Salsa by China Glaze is a brighter
for people who may not like to have super dark nails. I specifically like to
wear this color closer to the holidays. It makes the perfect transition at the
end of fall close to winter.
Step 3- Top Coat
The top coat is extremely important.
This along with the base coat, prevents the polish from chipping. I personally
love to use OPI Top Coat. I find this particular one to be extremely shiny
which I adore. Nothing makes a polish look better than a shiny top coat. This
product by OPI also does a great job ensuring that the polish does not chip.
When I use the top coat and base coat together I find that my polish lasts much
longer than when I use just one of them or none of them.
