Fall has officially arrived. The season promises cooler weather, dramatic landscapes, richly colored falling leaves, and unfortunately rain. But don’t despair, this autumn will bring “purple rain” and we’re not talking about Prince shredding that guitar.  Instead, it’s all about the nails. Shelve your bright summer hues and opt for dark polish, including the deep purples that are cropping up in fashion magazines everywhere. Stylish celebrities, such as Khloe Kardashian have embraced the trend whole heartedly.

The Touring America Collection from OPI has hit the road, making its way to Canada. This tour de force of innovative, yet classic style will spice up your digits with rich, fall colors. One shade that’s made a splash for fall is “Honk If You Love OPI.” The limited collection color is the “it” hue of the season. The dark, creamy, rich raisin shade will have all eyes on your manicure or pedicure. Edgy, yet still feminine, “Honk If You Love OPI” flatters all skin tones. Rock the lacquer for a hint of glimmer and a whole lot of glam.

Of course the options for fall don’t end there. OPI addicts have a variety of dark shades to rely on. Lincoln Park After Dark is always in demand. The cult favorite is anything but a one-note wonder. Lincoln Park After Dark is a seductive, blackened, creamy eggplant color with a delicious sheen that adds depth. The dark purple shade is the go-to color of celebrities including Mischa Barton. Lincoln Park at Midnight is Lincoln Park After Dark’s slightly lighter cousin. The romantic aubergine is the perfect compromise for those who want to go dark, but would prefer more color in the form of deep plum with a slight shimmer.

Are you craving something even darker?  Feeling sultry? OPI’s Black Onyx, seen on the nails of stars like Kristen Stewart, will make you feel like a rock star. The cream-based lacquer is vibrant and the finish almost looks like liquid vinyl. The sleek and sexy black goes with everything from formal wear to jeans and a tee.

Dark nail polish is hypnotic and bold, yet also stylish. It’s the perfect way to give your look some edge. Who doesn’t want to have their well-manicured fingertips on the pulse of the latest trends? The must-have shades of nail polish are dark with a twist. They are the perfect blend of sheen with a little pop of color, such as eggplant and raisin. The beautiful, mysterious lacquers that have been featured on the nails of fashion forward women everywhere, will have you absolutely ecstatic about fall. Saying goodbye to warm weather has never been easier.

Who said mani/pedi season was limited to the summer? Perfect nails are in style year-round and the burst of fall nail color trends have extended pedicure time indefinitely. The Salon Beauty Bar is Vancouver’s destination for dark, sexy nails. Make an appointment to test drive these vampy hues. We guarantee you’ll come over the dark side.
