Though we didn't want summer to end (how did it go by so fast?), part of us is looking forward to all those little things that come with fall: the crispness in the air, layering sweaters and wearing leather jackets again, and swapping out our bright summer clothes and makeup for a moodier color palette.

One of the best ways to accent this new fall look with a fresh manicure! Here are the polish colors our nail technician Victoria swears by for Autumn:

Gunmetal Grey

No matter how hard you try, you can’t escape grey in the Fall and Winter months. But why would you want to when it comes in a stylish gunmetal shade? Gunmetal is darker and edgier than your pale grey shades but still light enough to be worn as a neutral.

Midnight Blue

Rich jewel tones are going to be among the best sellers when it comes to nail polish colors for Fall. Try a deep midnight blue on your nails for a dark and mysterious manicure this season. It's a great alternative to basic black.

Taupe

If you love your neutrals, never fear! When it comes to Fall nail polish colors, stick to a taupe instead. It’s a bit darker than your summer nudes but still subtle enough to be worn all day, every day.

Oxblood

Oxblood, or burgundy if you’re less into fancy-pants fashion terms, is a big trend for fall. Wearing oxblood colored nail polish is a simple way to work this vampy trend into your look, without having to kit yourself out in new clothes. It's a great dramatic shade, yet it works for daytime, too.
