Ladies, in case you haven’t already been convinced by your Instagram feed, take this as your sign! It is seriously time to step up your nail game and there is no better time to do it than during the Fall now that we aren’t spending all our free time doing very unfriendly nail activities such as shoving our way onto the LIRR with suitcases or docking the boat and are likely back at our offices or desks typing away. The French manicure is back, but with a colorful and updated twist as well as beautiful abstract motifs. Just as are you are one of a kind, let your nails reflect that as well and put away your weekly Essie Mademoiselle manicure, at least for the time being or at the very least, spice it up with a neon French tip or accessorize it with beautiful dainty dried flowers. Whatever you choose, do something FUN with it and see the confidence boost you get as well as it being a natural conversational starter as you sip on your favorite cocktail downtown after a long-winded day.

Really, it is totally up to you which is why it is so fun, but we put together some inspo pics to get your imagination running and to show your nail technician next time you visit the salon. Be bold, why not!
