My Favorite Nail Trends for Autumn (NaBloPoMo Day 3)

I think this is the most exciting one. Partially because I was actually capable of growing my nails long enough to do this, a significant feat in my world. It's easier than it looks. All you do is press a strip of clear tape horizontally over each nail, making sure the edge closest to the tip is pressed down all the way so no nail polish will get underneath it. Then, you paint the end and allow it to dry a little bit but not all the way and then carefully remove the tape. I used Blue My Mind by OPI.

It's also fun to use two colors, especially when one is glittery. Glitter makes almost everything better. But not pudding. NOT pudding. I'm serious. For this one, I used You Don't Know Jaques by OPI and Disco Dolls by Nicole by OPI.

My favorite autumn nail trend is dark red. This one is Lincoln Center by NYC. It chips fairly easily, but it's only a dollar I think. Also, chipped dark nail polish is so totally art school so I'll fit right in.

I got this gel manicure right before school started. It lasted for about a week and a half. I think they're normally supposed to last longer, but my nails break really easily. It was in the color Lincoln Park After Dark from OPI. Dark colors are a good idea for longer lasting manicures like this one because chips show up more with darker nail polish than light. Also I just really like dark nail polish for fall. And always.

And finally, I jumped on this nail polish trend bandwagon. Why not, right? Also, I think brown nail polish is fun for fall. No one ever thinks brown is a fun color. Whatever. This is Little Brown Dress from Essie and Disco Dolls by Nicole by OPI. And the blue pen mark on my finger is by PaperMate. So in for fall.

Which one is your favorite? You should leave a comment. We love comments here at The Lauren/Spencer Project!

Happy Saturday!
