Is it just me, or is there something about having your nails done that makes you feel put together? Even if I don’t have time to curl my hair or put on a full face of makeup, I love a fresh manicure. During the fall and winter especially, it’s so fun to try all of the rich, deep tones of the winter season.
I’m partial to OPI nail colors; I prefer the slightly thicker consistency of the lacquer. Plus, they have the most fun names, don’t they? These are five dark nail colors to try this fall and winter:
The 5 Best Dark Nail Colors for Fall and Winter:
Midnight in Moscow
A really beautiful deep brown with flecks of very subtle red sparkle. I’ve owned this color for going on ten years–so much so that I’ve bought multiple bottles in case it becomes unavailable. The flecks of gold make for a really pretty touch to an otherwise dark polish.
Mrs. O’Leary’s BBQ
A super deep blue-red that looks great on many skin tones. I especially love it on ladies with really pale skin–very cool and chic with a clean, short nail.
Yes, My Condor Can Do
From this fall’s Peru collection, I’ve been wearing this brownish-plum on repeat throughout fall. Looks great on any skin tone, and is a really rich and beautiful tone for the winter months.
Lincoln Park at Midnight
A deep plum (almost looks black on the nails) for days when you’re feeling like you want that uber chic, super dark nail. There’s something so cool about this color, and it’s one that I’ve gone back to for many years.
Como Se Llama
A muted red-brown. Looks so flattering on ladies with medium and tan skin tones. I’ve been wearing this color a lot throughout the fall and holiday seasons. It’s a nice option when you’re looking for a red that isn’t too red.
