Article Content: 1. Fall ’09 Hot Nail Hues

This year, black is back in fashion for fall; should nails be painted to blend in for an overall dark look, or in a contrasting hue to really make them stand out? It’s up to you to decide! Check out our top nail polish picks for a perfect mani that is totally in style.

Dark, Intense Tips

Natural-looking nails are out this season; dark is all the rage, but this time around, it’s not only about painting your tips black; a lot of dark greens, blues (like indigo), and purples will be seen. Matte finishes are especially in when choosing a dark, intense shade.
