Moody Manicure

Calm/Serious

• After School Boy Blazer, a rich navy blue, and Vested Interest, a pale sage, create a cool look for clients from the Essie Fall Collection, modeled after the season’s finest fabrics. www.essie.com

• Clients will want to reminisce when they see this warm taupe shade of the same name from the SpaRitual Share Collection swiped on nails. www.sparitual.com

• The Duri Cosmetics Truth or Dare fall lacquers offer a range of looks, but the versatile creamy beige Sheer Buff fits any occasion a client may have on the calendar. www.duri.com

 

Celebratory/Cheerful
