Over the last year or two nail color has been creeping away from the boring pinks and french tips that seemed to be the norm for so long. I am happy to report (in case you weren’t paying attention) that this fall/winter season things have really exploded into fun and fresh territory. I have been having a blast experimenting with some of the seasons most fashionable colors and conveniently my two fav non-toxic, eco-friendly and very stylish brands are right on the cutting edge with their color selections.

In my opinion, black nails can be quite elegant when done correctly. (No Elivra Queen of the Damned claws, Ladies. Short and slightly rounded works best for this look.) Oh what’s that you say?  You did this look all last fall?  You love it, but…yawn. And to that I say, try a matte black. It’s the same lovely look without the high gloss. Try Zoya’s Dovima. It’s the everyday black polish.

Okay, now let’s raise the stakes a little. How about blue? Picking the right shade for your skin tone is important here, but there are tons to choose from. Get a little royal with Zoya’s Ibiza or try something more subtle like, Butter London’s Big Smoke. The color I’ve been rocking all month is a racing stripe green. Check out Butter London’s Thames.

Just not the bright color type? Well you’re in luck. Neutrals are very in this season. More beige than pink, these are great for an understated look. Butter London has a great one called Crumpet.  For Butter London’s color page click here.

And what about when it’s time to change it up? Kaia House Soy polish remover. That’s right! Soy Polish remover! No formaldehyde or other ickies.

Just grab an organic cotton ball and a few swipes of this barely scented remover and your on to your next experiment!
