Alvear notes a spate of clients ditching colors entirely in favor of a nude lacquer with silver embellishments to help their 'cure really pop. As for accents, the finishing touches that take a basic manicure to the next level, silver is having a moment. “For men in particular, I see shades like mauve, muted pink, sage green, purple, and of course, a lot of black,” Alvear adds. “I think people are excited for the cooler weather and want something that looks nice with the overcast tones of light in the city.” As it turns out, you're not the only person vibe-matching with the elements. “Going into autumn and winter, I have received so many requests for neutral and muted tones,” says New York-based nail artist Juan Alvear.

It chipped same day, but I have been slipping on my nail care so that may be a me-issue. I gave it to my sister, untried, thinking it would be a handy summer white for her, then while visiting I slapped it on. But(t) this here polish took three coats to reach opacity, and still doesn’t level out well. It’s a very grayed white, and I bought it because 1) I love the concept of the Miracle Gel line – no base coat needed 2) it looks like OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls which I always wanted. The reddish-black hue was created in 1994 and has been a fall favorite ever since. It’s so iconic, the nail polish has its own Wikipedia page.
