STYLE Savvy APRIL GODDARD
Hello Pulse readers! As Spooky season has come and gone, we now enter deep into the months of Fall, being able to enjoy the sites, smells, food, and of course, colors of the season. As harvest comes to a close and we are able to enjoy the fruits of our labor (no pun intended: apple pie anyone?), we start to see style take its turn into the darker and more cozy. One of the stand out trends that is always sure to keep you looking polished and put together is the return of the bold nail. Keeping updated with nails trends is a neat trick to keep your wardrobe looking modern and updated (even when you haven’t added anything to it! So pulse readers, cozy up with a coffee and read on to discover Style Savvy’s November Nail Trends! Nude and Neon: This has been a big trend All through the spring and summer and even well into the fall this is no exception. This trend is really fun because it borderlines on total neutral with just a hint of something special. You can really get creative with the designs and accent colors that you mix and match, and the pops of neon add a little something to what would be a clean and simple manicure. Ask for this at your next salon trip: a nude-tone translucent pink as a base coat with accents of whatever neon colors you pick and line patterns that you like! Style savvy tip: this looks best on slightly longer nails. Dark Burgundy/Dark Plum: I love simple, short, very dark, almost black nails. Most of the time, I’ll actually be wearing something that appears to be black. But I have a trick for readers-pick a very dark, rich, almost black color that works best with your skin tone or even the tones of your wardrobe palette. As an example, I am someone who naturally gravitates towards warmer tones and notice that when I wear pure black nail polish, it always seems a little off. I instead opt for a shade that appears solid black in the bottle, but when applied in a thin layer actually leans strongly towards berry in color. Layered, it appears black from afar but actually works better with my skin tone and clothing choices. For those who naturally lean towards cooler tones, opt for an almost-black polish that has undertones of a purple plum color. Barely-there Pink: Reminiscent of delicate bubbles, this was another go-to for spring/summer that can certainly be transitioned into the fall and winter as a modern take on a french manicure. This more translucent color works well on long and short nails, and is an elegant choice for special occasions or wedding parties and guests. Next time you are at the salon, simply ask for the color pink that they use for french manicures, minus the french tips. If the first coat of polish seems a little too translucent, simply request another! Muted turquoise: This is a fun (and fall-ish!) pop of color that is a little off the usual path of fall go-to nail trends. Instead of the vibrant turquoise shades that you might see in summer, opt for a more low-key version. Think of it this way: Your traditional turquoise has been laying out in the sun all summer and has now faded down to a perfectly fall-appropriate muted blue-green. Enjoy experimenting with these new nail trends, and have a very happy conclusion to harvest 2021!
