It’s time for another Personal Shopper segment! My friend Sonja is looking for the perfect fall nail polish, but of course wants to stay on trend and is wondering what are the hottest shades of the season. This is somewhat of a confusing season, as she pointed out, there seem to be a smattering of neon brights all over the place but as one would imagine, that does not necessarily invoke thoughts of crisp fall leaves and apple pie. The neon trend really boomed on the streets of NY Fashion Week and the neon look is still in, with the slight adjustment of using those neon colors in creative ways to make crazy DIY designs and patterns on your nails. Like this one…

However, the true staples of fall are still here, and I will always love and appreciate a sassy dark nail color during this season. It’s rich and it’s classic, just make sure to keep up with your manicure…nothing is worse than chipping dark nails! So here are some of the colors that are really standing out…

My new absolute favorite is OPI’s Lincoln Park at Midnight. Not to be confused with my favorite from last year, Lincoln Park After Dark. At Midnight is a shinier, richer purple hue, and I cannot get enough. {I’m wearing it right now!}

I’m all about a good drugstore find and nothing beat’s Revlon’s Vixen. It’s an extremely deep wine color that almost crosses over into the brown family. So classic fall.

If you start to tire of the reds and deep purples of the season, don’t forget about the stunning deep blue family! Try MAC’s Rain of Flowers.

Greens are huge this season. Everything from something shimmery, to a rich evergreen. This one is Rimmel London’s Rags to Riches.

I know for myself, it’s a bit hard to put away my hot pinks for a season, but with these fabulous colors. It’s not too hard anymore!
