#NAIL-It!

As I've mentioned in previous blog posts, Fall-fashion has kicked off and we are now amongst the great season of boots, leggings and oversized sweaters! But, we can't forget about another essential part to our great new-season-look. What could I possibly be talking about? Our nails, of course! 
A girl with good upkeep to her nails will tell you a lot more about her than you'd think. Obviously self-grooming is always a good characteristic to look for when you're starting to get to know someone, however if you're noticing that someone's nails are not up-to-par, you may be correct in assuming that their overall hygiene-routine may be of a similar standard (or lack there of!

The secret to great, strong nails is to keep them short and well-maintained. This doesn't mean you need to splurge every other weekend at the nail salon on constant manicures, it just means you need to pay attention to them! If you're experimenting with some of the fun & different nail-polish colors that scream FALL you should remember to keep your nails short! (This applies for neon colors as well.) I am so obsessed with this Mocha Ombre Fall mani shown below! Once I have a free moment this weekend I am definitely going to give it a go! It's also great because it's full of neutral colors that most likely won't end up clashing with any of your fall outfits.

For polish colors that are darker such as the navy or brown polishes you should be ready to wear lighter toned clothing to even it out and also to keep those nails short! 

However, if you like having a little bit of length to your nails like me you could easily choose a darker shade of pink for your Fall polish! I am a huge lover of Fiji by Essie, however the color seems to be too light for the season. After I try out the Mocha Ombre mani, I am definitely going back to my old roots and will try out this darker shade!


Stay saucy & nail Fall-fashion in every aspect this year!
