Favorite Fall Polish

A look is never complete without the finishing touches, and that includes nail polish! I've scoped out the new matte polish fad, and I'm not a fan: It chips easily, it looks messy (highlighting every bump and line on your natural nailbed), and it's just boring! Here are some of my favorite polish looks to help you stay stylish right down to your fingertips:

1. TEAL POLISH: Teal is such a beautiful surprise for fall, and it will certainly brighten up any look. OPI's "Teal the Cows Come Home" is great, and a steal here at $5.49.

2. BURNT RUST: A little brown, a little metallic, a lot chic. Try China Glaze's "Soft Sienna Silks," pictured below, for only $6.49 here

3. DEEP RED: Always great for fall, a classic red in a deep shade will look great while you've got your hands wrapped around a cup of warm cider. China Glaze's "Drastic" is my favorite, available here for $6.49.

4. JET BLACK: This dark, sexy look will go with every outfit you own! Just be warned--removing it can really be a hassle. Essie's "Licorice" will give you a great glossy finish. $8 here



Want more options? The new fall line by Essie is fabulous in every color. Chic, shiny, and affordable, check out what's available and pick your favorite one (or five!):
