Daily Blog: Fall Nail Polish Colors

Today's Daily Blog is a little short, but that's because I decided to keep it short and sweet when talking about Nail Polish for Fall.

Once September comes around I say goodbye to all the bright and neon colors that I love to wear in the summer sadly. No more bright green, pinks, oranges or white. Summer is always a time to get crazy with your nails, but then when fall comes around you have to tone down the colors.

That's why neutral colors works best. My nails change with the season every year. For fall I like to wear neutral colors and a lot of browns, but it needs to be a light brown. If I wear anything pink it's a deeper pink and looks more rosy.

Deep reds are my favorite as well, but that's more for winter. For a more classic look you can never go wrong with a French manicure, but if you want to get a little funky with it do a reverse french manicure.

Whichever color or design you choose just remember to tone it down for fall : )

Daily Blog: Manicure Monday- Nails for Summer

Nail salons make money all year round, but they make tone more in the summer. Since more people are out and about people have the need to look good. To some people it’s part of their lifestyle and to have unique nails can almost be a status statement. No one wants to have the same nail design as someone else.

Nail salons are hiring some of the best just so they can give their clients their very own customized nail design. Most of these nail salons are Uptown. Such nail salons are Nail Lounge (4752 Broadway, New York), Nails On 7 (2449 7^thAve Bet. 142^nd & 143^rd Street, Harlem), and Nail Factory & Hair (2421 Westchester Ave).

Nail Lounge has been put on the map by such reality stars from MTV’s Washington Heights and some of the ladies from Mobwives New York. Nails on 7 has been around for years and some of their customers are the ladies of Love & Hip Hop New York. Nail Factory & Hair is an up and coming nail salon that does great nails and hires great stylists. These nails salons also offer other services as well which is more convenient for their customers. Getting your nails and hair done all at once saves travel time and it’s just a lot easier to have it done all at one place. You can see the work of these nail salons on their Instagram page.

A lot of the designs for summer are bright colors. Neon’s are still great and if you want a more subtle color corals and pinks do the job. You can also dress up your nails with bows, flowers, Swarovski crystals and etc. It’s almost as if there were no limits to the kind of nail designs you can do especially for summer. I prefer bright colors in the summer time because I want my nails to be seen. I love bright greens, pinks and oranges. One of my favorite summer colors is white. It pops out and people can see your nails from anywhere.

Sometimes though it’s a little more difficult to get crazy with your nail design because of your job or school, but you can always try a reverse French manicure with colors that are soft, so that it’s more appropriate. Also having a regular French manicure is always a classic look that you can never go wrong with.

Below are a few pictures from the mentioned nail salons. Enjoy!!!
