Paint your nails with this season’s deep, dark sophisticated colours and throw in some sexy metallics for party-time, says Julia Rebaudo
While it’s so easy to succumb to the change of seasons, citing SAD at every possible opportunity to explain your dulled temperament, all you need really is a little injection of trend. And that can be as wonderfully simple as thinking about what colours you’re going to work this autumn.
The fashion basics are easy-peasy, with black and grey being rammed down our throats left, right and centre. And as wonderful as these colours are for their cool elegance and figure-enhancing properties, don’t make the mistake of ignoring the other colours on the palette. Bold slashes of pinks, reds and purples can be worked in with scarves, belts and peeking-out shirt collars, but most importantly your nails.
Painted nails are fun, glamorous and always feel indulgent. Whether you sport vampish talons, tom-boy shorts or something demure in between treating yourself to a manicure is time and money well-spent. So what colours to go for?
Winter months can’t help but inspire thoughts of mulled wine and red berries, so start thinking warm brick reds, rich browns and toffee. Going even richer, opt for deep jewel tones of ruby, garnet, amethyst and emerald. If you need something lighter think of natural and earth shades, such as wheat, sand, cement, grey and moss. And the biggest trend for the winter will be metallics, so look for deep golden browns and greys. For a wide selection of colours, visit the best beauty stockists in the business www.lenawhite.co.uk
