For fall 2008, we’re seeing the same tendency we’ve been seeing in the summer - bright red nails and some darker shades.
The new season will bring a number of different and sometimes opposite trends (think the dark black with whiter ruffle shirt versus the colourful country look).
For this new season, I don’t think you’ll be able to find one shade to compliment all of your different looks … you might want to have a few options handy (no pun intended).
Blue nail polish was a very strong trend for summer 2008, but the shade has been replaced with a deep purple shade.
The usual suspects (aka major nail polish brands) have put out their fall collections and you’ll notice that just like the opulence of big chunky jewelry, jumbo handbags and oversize cocktail ring, the nail polish colours for fall 2008 are very rich and decadent.

Have you seen the new Retro Fun in the Sun colours? They are OPI’s Pin-Up Perfect Shades for Summer.
I really love the little elastic ponytail holder that comes with each bottle that is reminiscent of the pin-up girl. It reminds me of what my grandmother used to put in my hair to manage my massive mane.
This summer’s collection from OPI is playing on a few trends: vibrant colours, blue nail polish and bright neon-like colours.

Have you tried the Sephora Nail Patch?
I was recently flipping the pages of Elle France when I noticed an ad for Sephora’s nail patch.
I’ve always been big on nail polish and I can never get enough of any new trend or new colours. That said, when you need to run to a last minute event, not even quick dry can help in some occasions when you are pressed for time and you still have to take care of hair and makeup.
