October is the first full month of fall and that brings cooler temperatures, shorter days and autumn's leaves in their full glory.
This is a great time to break out cozy, warm toned nail shades to match the mood of the month.
Do you have your October manicure line-up planned yet?
Whether you prefer sheer nails for every season, reach for warm tones like oranges and browns, or gravitate towards darker colors, like plum and black, October creates a shift in the palette of shades you can reach for.
Scroll down below for five nail polish ideas for October -
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Luxe Finish Silk is… swatch
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Luxe Finish Silk is…
Shown in one coat without a top coat, Silk is… is a sheer off-white gold pearl with pink undertones. It looks like a candlelight’s glow on the nail.
Silk is… makes for a great sheer “white” polish for the fall and winter months, given its golden hue. It appears more pink in the bottle than on the nail, though hints of pink shine through depending on how the light hits it.
Fair Maiden Mother, May I? swatch
Fair Maiden Mother, May I?
Mother, May I? is shown in three easy coats and it’s a warm toned holographic glitter polish with orange, pink and red flakies with green and gold shimmer mixed in. It looks like a pumpkin patch in late autumn.
Fair Maiden (now defunct) was run by two business partners who currently run Polish Pick Up. Both of the partners have since launched their own polish lines, check out what’s available from Beaux Reves Lacquer and Monarch Lacquer!
