Best Nail Trends for Fall 2014

Some nail trends are transitioning from summer to fall, but
the latest collections have also introduced a few new spins on classic looks.
Discover the biggest nail trends for Fall 2014 and choose the manicure that
works with your style best.

From two types of nude nails to metallics and nail art on a
single finger, these are the biggest trends that you should try in order to
keep your manicure up to date for the Fall/Winter 2014-2015 season.

Nude Nails

If you like to keep your nails subtle, there are two big
trends when it comes to nude nails for fall. The sheer nude look was seen on
the runway for the Diane von Furstenberg, Rodarte, and Helmut Lang.. If you’d
rather prefer a more opaque nude, Alexander Wang, Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la
Renta, and Kate Spade proved how stylish this look is for fall.

Darker Reds

When you’re looking for the perfect red nails of the fall,
go darker. Deeper reds, from wine tones to saturated mahoganies are among the
most important nail trends for Fall 2014. The look was featured by brands from
Burberry and Kenneth Cole to Rebecca Minkoff and Nicole Miller. If you think
that’s too dark for all your nails, you can easily pair deep reds with other
colors, even with a nude part on the same nail, and still get a trendy look.

Geometric Lines

Either perfectly parallel to your cuticles or diagonal,
strong geometric lines are definitely a big part of the nail repertoire
featured during Fall 2014 Fashion Week in New York, London, Paris and Milan. Diagonal
lines don’t even have to be symmetrical on every nail, and mixing this trend
with metallics, like Butter London did for the Lela Rose runway show, is a
great tip for an even more dramatic look.

Bright White

Karen Walker and Zero + Maria Cornejo showed off bright
white nails on the runway, but if you don’t like the immaculate look, you can
still use one of the coolest nail trends for Fall 2014. Nellie Partow and A
Detacher went for off white, so just choose the perfect shade of white based on
how much you want your manicure to stand out.

Multi Colored Nails

Cynthia Rowley proved that rainbow nails can look as sophisticated
as any other manicure. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that means you can
pile on 7 shades on each nail. Instead, stick to a maximum of two shades per
nail and pick complementary tones before moving on to the next nail and color
combination.

Asymmetrical Nails

Using negative space on nails is definitely one of the edgier
nail trends for Fall 2014. Opening Ceremony, Vaccarello and Zimmerman played
with different proportions on each nail, some being painted almost all the way
except for the tip, while others, on the same hand, had just the tip colored.
Don’t be afraid to make each nail different, as long as you keep the lines at
the same angle.

Gunmetal Gray

Try darker grays, with or without the addition of a touch of
sparkle. Vera Wang, Carmen Marc Valvo, and DKNY showed plenty of gunmetal gray
nails with their latest collections, with a touch of shine.

Marbling

Since the nail trends for Fall 2014 are more varied than
usual, take a risk and tried the cool marbling effect used for the Creatures of
the Wind runway show. Create your own psychedelic patterns with a metallic shade
and a pastel.

Gold Nails

Naeem Khan, Proenza Schouler, and Marra Hoffman really took
gold nails to a whole new level this season, with every combination from full
on gold to golden halfmoons or tips. Go for opaque gold for a really dramatic and
stylish look.

Sparkling Halfmoons

Add a touch of sparkle to your nails by focusing on the
halfmoon. Badgley Mischka opted for gunmetal with sparkling halfmoon, while
Rolando took a less contrasting approach, but just as charming and effective in
creating a unique look.

Nail Art on Your Ring
Finger

If you’re not ready for nail art on every single nail, try
one of the more subtle nail trends for Fall 2014 and keep the art limited to
your ring finger. Jenny Packham, Degen, and Erin Fetherston all featured nail
art on just the ring finger during their Fall Fashion Week shows.
