17 Funky Nail Trends That are Going to Be Huge This Fall
Personal question: are your nails “fall ready?” What? Don’t you know what constitutes a “fall ready” manicure?
Well, to be honest, we don’t quite know what “fall ready” nails are either! Back in the day, a “fall ready” manicure would entail something along the lines of dark colors, understated nudes, and, perhaps, the odd leaf nail art design thrown in for good measure.
Boring, right?
