Fall 2011 Nail Polish Trends

     Summer has already come to an end and I must say it flew by. After a bit traveling and a spur of the moment move from California to Guam, life is finally settling down for me. After quite a long hiatus, I am back and here to stay. And what better way to transition into the Fall than to introduce you all to the trendiest Fall nail polish colors of 2011? 

Army Green: This shade of green is a great color to try this Fall. I prefer the creamy shades but metallic and iridescent shades can be found as well.

Copper: This orange rust color is perfect for Fall. It reminds me of the color of falling leaves. 

Teal: I am in love with this jewel-toned teal. No Fall outfit could possibly be bland with a pop of this beautiful shade. 

Mauve: Rather than the lavenders that we saw last season, Fall will be all about mauve when it comes to purple.

Burgundy: This deep wine shade will take any outfit's sophistication level up a notch. I prefer this iridescent shade to avoid looking dated.

Dark Brown: Dark brown is an alternative to black if you like wearing dark nail polish shades this time of year. 

  

Slate: Gray has been around for the past few seasons and isn't going anywhere just yet. This Fall try out this darker version of the color.

Sapphire Blue: This deep ocean blue is another alternative to black if you like dark colored polishes in the Fall. 

Feather Hair Extensions

      One of my favorite rising trends at the moment are feather hair extensions. I first started noticing them in fashion blogs and when I found out my hair stylist had some available, I really wanted to try them out. I ended up getting two thin black and white feathers that contrasted nicely against my brown hair. Lately I have been noticing other girls trying them out and I think they are super cute! I've seen everything from rocker chicks with neon pink feathers to boho girls with brown, natural looking feathers.

     The great thing about feather extensions is that they are like temporary highlights. You can get any color, thickness, or length and they won't damage your hair like dye would. You can leave them in for one day or for about a month depending on your preference and how well you take care of them. They can be brushed (just be careful not to brush the metal piece at the top holding it in), blow-dried, straightened, and curled which is great because you can style them along with the rest of your hair. If you want, you can even apply them yourself if you order your own feathers and the proper tools. This way, you can avoid paying high salon prices.
