Fall Nail Trends by Tom Bachik for L’Oréal Paris

For all my Lovelies out there who (like me) just can't help falling for fall trends and styles, I just couldn't resist sharing some tips from L’Oréal Paris' new Consulting Nail Expert, celeb manicurist Tom Bachik.

• Mixture and Texture Dimension

“I think mixing texture and dimension is important. If going with a chunky metallic on toes, go with a rich deep ‘creamy’ color (as in no shimmer) on finger – and vice versa. If wearing a full-coverage nude on toes, then pair with a rich deep shimmer shade with dimension to the fingers.” ­–Tom Bachik

•  Antique Metallics and Full Coverage Nudes on Toes

“I love antique metallics and full-coverage nudes on toes, so there’s no competition with all the great shoe colors for fall. Keep color on the fingers to play off lips and eyes.” –Tom Bachik

•  Sheer Shimmer Lace

“Sheer shimmery lace is a big fall trend. A great look I've started to do as summer wraps up is to use a single coat of a shimmery metallic on nails, so the color stays sheer but sparkly. It’s a great modern take on nudes that stays sophisticate and chic.” –Tom Bachik

• The Temptress’ Touch, which is part of the L’Oréal Paris & Project Runway “Electric Fantasie” collection (available at select drugstores beginning in September 2012)

The Tempress' Touch

I loved these colours and the polishes have great pay off.  I went a week before I saw any chipping, and they had a sleek glossy finish.  Available in drugstores for $5.99 they're a must have for your fall collection.
