Updating your look for the new season can be as simple as incorporating some fall nail colors into your mani. ‘Skittles nails’ were one of the biggest beauty trends of the year–and they’re the perfect way to transition into autumn. It may not be full-on sweater weather yet, but with different color nails in a mix of earthy neutrals and a hint of pale pastel, you’ll be ready to lean stylishly into the season ahead. Scroll on to see how to get the look!
Step 1: Start with clean dry hands with a thin layer of base coat.
Step 2: Apply two coats of the taupe polish to the pinky.
Step 3: Apply two coats of the muted pastel blue to your ring finger.
Step 4: Apply two coats of the sandy tan to your middle finger.
Step 5: Apply two coats of the ginger orange to your pointer finger.
Step 6: Apply two coats of the deep sienna to your thumb.
Step 7: Apply a coat of top coat to all nails. Remember to allow polish to dry before applying each coat to ensure speedy quick time and no smudges.

Step 3 is incorrect. That isn’t the index finger that is the ring finger.
Thanks Brittany! x
Hi! Love the nails but I’m super obsessed with the ring on her middle finger. Does anyone know where it’s from? (:
Hi love!
That ring is actually from Betina's line, Doublemoss Jewelry! xx
