    Favorite Fall Nail Polish Colors

    It’s time to transition from pastels and bright pinks of summer to more subtle autumnal tones! Changing your nail polish shades is a great way to transition from summer to fall without having to wear sweaters in 90-degree heat. 😅😜

    A couple weeks ago I started thinking that I should find some fall nail polish colors to wear. I mean, I love my “strawberry margarita” color that I wear every summer, but all of a sudden when it’s September, it doesn’t feel quite appropriate for fall.

    Fall nail polish colors: Barefoot in Barcelona, Tiramisu for Two, Taupe-less Beach, Be There in a Prosecco and Worth a Pretty Penne - all by OPI

    I started looking around to see if any of my favorite influencers were sharing their favorite fall colors, but didn’t see anything in particular. On a whim, I opened up my nail polish bag the other day and realized I had already purchase some fall colors last year and had totally forgotten!

    I tried them each on to see which one I wanted to wear. (Don’t you just love that penny-colored sparkly one on my thumb??)

    Looks like I don’t need to go shopping after all! Yay!

    Please don’t judge my manicurist skills, of which I have none. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I literally slapped these on quickly to try each one, then snapped a pic. So, nothing fancy!

    Side note: The slap & snap – a cousin to the bend & snap. Trivia: what movie is the “bend and snap” from?? Bonus points to you if you can tell me in the comments. 😂

    I then took them all off and went with Be There in a Prosecco for my fingernails. I had already painted all of my toenails with Worth a Pretty Penne.

    I really enjoy a lighter color (typically white nails) for my fingernails, and then a darker, more fun color for my toes. With all of my new open-toe booties, I’ll have to keep my toenails painted longer into the cooler months this year.

    It’s literally been 80 degrees for 2 days so far and I’m just dying to be all-in for sweater weather. But until the temps drop a little lower, I’ll just be over here pretending its fall with my pretty nail polish. 😂

    (All of these colors are from OPI. It’s not a sponsored post. I’ve just been using their products since I was in high school and I guess old habits are heard to break!)

      I had to laugh! Bend and Snap is from Legally Blonde…one of my favorite movies to watch when I need a laugh!

        So fun! I had a pedicure today. And while I took my own nail polish with me, I tried a new color of theirs! It was OPI’s How Great Is Your Dane? It’s a dark charcoal brown and I love it! xo, Laura

      I posted earlier before I read the comments. My job dropped at the rudeness of Vicki and Christy! Ladies you may have pretty nails but you showed the ugly on your inside. Shame on you!

      Laura, keep on posting girl! Ignore the trolls.

      Bend and snap is from Legally Blonde! I recently rewatched and enjoyed every minute of it.
      I love the fall nail polish, especially the ones on your pinky and ring fingers, so pretty! And I do like the copper penny color on your thumb too.

      Ladies, no matter the color you put upon your nails, to have that total Salon Quality Glossy Look I recommend ordering this wonderful product (from eBay or wherever nail products are sold):
      “Seche Vite” Fast Dry Top Coat. Here in CA one cannot purchase allegedly “harmful” products , and the old top coat I used went off the market. After quite a trial and error search, I found the Seche Vite products and they were even better than what I had been using.

      Also, as a manicurist, any type of artificial nail tip is just fine, as long as you don’t glue it to your original nail bed. The glue has a way of eroding the nail bed leading to nail lifting, which can be permanent. My advice is to stay natural… no matter what others may say.

        Thank you G Lee! I actually have the Seche Vite product and love it for a fast-drying top coat. It’s amazing!! And I can’t get artificial nails because it ruins my real nails, so I have to stay natural. Otherwise they peel off like paper and it’s very painful! xo, Laura

      Hi Laura, we are where you are at – last week my 80 year old husband was out bicycling with one of his clubs again while I sat home with my walker due to back/spine issues and i decided to list our home. We had looked at a home 3 weeks ago and also lost out to another bidder before we could act. I felt for 3 years that is where I was going to live, but we make plans and God “laughs” as His ways are different than ours. We are looking to get into an apartment. My suggestion is NEVER list your home until you are ready – we downsized once before. We did manage to have a garage sale within 3 days and are still getting rid of things. I love your posts as they are always fun and creative, and definitely helpful. I think your nails look just fine – fake nails are very unhealthy, been there. What colors are on the pinky and thumb? .The Lord already has the next home for you; all in His timing. Thanks and best wishes to you moving forward.

        Thank you so much for your encouragement, Jan! We have decided to wait to place our house on the market and I appreciate your advice to never place your home on the market until you’re ready! I know that at some point it will be clear what God wants us to do! I can’t wear fake nails even though I like the look, because they cause my real nails to become brittle and peel off. So natural nails for me! The color on my pinky is Barefoot in Barcelona by OPI and the color on my thumb is Worth a Pretty Penne by OPI. 🙂 Thanks, friend!! Laura

      I don’t mean to be rude, but your nails are too short to be showing nail polishes. Go get a full set of acrylics put on and wear them just over tip of fingers. They will look so mush better…sorry

        Vicki – have you heard ‘if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all?’ Apologizing for being rude doesn’t mean you aren’t still being rude.

        Hi Vicki, I actually prefer short nails and I can’t get acrylics because it ruins my real nails and they peel off like paper. So, naturally nails that I keep short are what I will be sticking with! 🙂

      I have just finished my first Autumn pedicure of the year. I chose one if my favorites – I’m not really a waitress. OPI is the brand I choose most often, too. Legally Blonde is a fun movie!

      Horrible manicure. It looks like you bit all your nails off & didn’t bother to file them. Your cuticles need to be trimmed, too. I, personally, wouldn’t photograph my nails & share them on mass media if mine looked that bad. Nail colors you have chosen are blah.

          I appreciate your authenticity. I know I’ve probably had days where I didn’t look my best, but perfection and filters aren’t my thing so I guess I’ll just be over here being “me”. I’m the only one, so I’m quite good at it… and so are you. 💕
