If you read my Budgeting for Clothing post, you already know that I’d much rather get my nails done than buy clothes. When I tune into what’s new on the runways each season, I’m more interested in seeing the nail colors than the fashion. Nail polishes translate more easily into my everyday life than haute couture anyway. Each season I anxiously await the new “it” colors so I can buy a few new colors for my own collection and plan my salon visits accordingly.
The hot new nail colors for fall 2014 did not disappoint. Most of them are totally wearable and colors that I already love. Without further ado, here are the top five trends in nail polish for fall 2014.
1. Greige
This mixture between gray and beige looks so polished and goes with everything. It’s my current go-to nail color.
2. Pinky Nudes
Neutral nails are always in style. This season’s nudes have a sweet hint of pink to them.
3. Jewel Tones
Shades of deep burgundy, emerald, deep blue and magenta are quintessentially autumn hues. Try one with a little sparkle.
4. Metals
Metallics in gold, silver and pewter are on the scene again this fall. I’m a huge fan of Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel formulas. They last for weeks without a drying light.

5. Bold
Bold colors are big for fall and winter 2014. A risk-free way to try the trend is with a bold nail color like this vibrant violet.
