The Bordeaux
As classic as they are inevitable, dark colors are always popular when the skies start to darken and temperatures start to cool. Every year, as soon as autumn sets in, it's the same catchphrase: after having been neglected for many months in favor of much more peps and colorful, the darkest nail polish pots are making their annual comeback. Black, chocolate, dark red … so many deep shades capable of contrasting with pale skin, as well as enhancing a darker – even much darker complexion. This season, the timeless burgundy is by far the favorite. A real safe bet, this elegant color will sublimate all skin tones… This fall, fall in love with burgundy with your eyes closed!

Nail art
After being left out for a long time, the nail art has become very trendy again lately. While monochrome manicures remain popular, revisiting them with a nail art creative and hardworking is far from a bad idea … This season, especially! We like it graphic, minimalist and mismatched, the whole being that it remains delicate and sophisticated. The more each nail is adorned with different patterns and colors, the more unusual it is, the more successful the rendering. Animal prints, dots, lines, waves? It's validated. So give free rein to your imagination and above all: to your creativity!
