Here are some additional tips and tricks that are very useful when buying and using nail polishes for fall:
- Apply 2-3 coats of the nail polish to achieve an opaque finish and smooth appearance. Glitter shades need an additional coat for a better finish.
- Do not go for very bright or summery shades when dressing up for fall. Go for deeper richer shades of red, burgundy, blue, green or grey for getting the look right.
- Coordinate your nails with your outfit and avoid going for shades that are full of chunky glitter or sparkles. Fall season demands solid shades in sombre hues.
- Always wear the nail polish with a base coat underneath to protect your nails from the chemicals present in the nail polish.
- Go for a glossy top coat if you want to get a salon-finish and wear a matte top coat for a more sophisticated look.
- Keep the nail polish bottle in a cool and dark environment to keep the formula from getting damaged in the heat.
- Apply the nail polish from bottle of the nail to the top to get a neat look and let the first coat dry before applying the second coat.
- Work with different textures and formulas to find the right formula for your nails and then choose a shade that suits your skin tones.
- Avoid buying nail polishes that contain alcohol, formaldehyde, or toluene as these chemicals can harm your nails.
- Give your nails a break in between polish changes to help the nail breathe and remain healthy.
- Remove nail polish only with a gentle nail polish remover and do not rub the remover vigorously on the nail. Dip a cotton ball in the remover and keep it on the nail for a few seconds before wiping it off.
- Check the shade in the store before ordering it online as some nail polishes look different in the bottle and on the nails.
- Understand more about the shade and the formula by reading the customer reviews shared by users who have used the shade before.
- Extend the longevity of the nail polish by adding a nail primer underneath the coats.
- Prep your nails by rubbing some cuticle oil around the nails and on the nails as this moisturizes the skin and makes the nail polish application easier and smoother.
So these are the ten best fall nail polishes available in the market. These shades are particularly popular during the fall season when the mood is a bit sombre and dreary. While there is no rule as to which nail polish shade you should wear, the deep dark shades represent the mood and look very attractive if worn with proper care and touch-ups. Everyone has different preferences when it comes to nail polishes and these tips listed above will help you find the right fall nail polish among these options.
