The Best Nail Trends For Fall 2016
Every fashion week, we’re mesmerized by endless inspiration for the season ahead. And while the more fanciful of trends may only be realized in our sartorial dreams, some looks are more attainable: Rather than overhaul your entire closet in preparation for fall, start by switching up something a lot less intimidating and more affordable—your nails. Here, the seven coolest nail-art trends straight from the runways. Some can even be done easily at home.
Whether you're combining multiple shades or a plain nude with a shiny silver, getting clever with placement and color combos is your ticket to head-turning nails this fall.
