While summer and spring provides for the perfect neon palettes, we love autumn and winter for the dark and moody aura as well as the wintery wonderland feeling that come with it. Thankfully, some of our favorite nail lacquer brands have unveiled a number of great collections for the fall and winter. Whether you’re feeling luxe or low-key, here are four brands, with more than one shade, that will surely complete your ensemble.
Alice + Olivia x Nails Inc.
There’s a new nail collaboration between Alice + Olivia and Nails Inc. CEO and Creative Director Stacy Bendet blended her creativity with Nails Inc. to design not one, but two collection this autumn/winter. The collection includes four limited edition shades and a three-piece kit exclusive to Sephora.
The four shade collection features Rosé and Poetry, Midnight Merlot, Black Diamond, which might be our favorite, and Next to Nothing. Each color is available at $15 each. The three-piece festive kit christened “Good Things Come in 3s” features Bohemian Noire, Sky With Diamonds and Sheer Beauty, a peachy nude. The kit comes with an ultra-chic Alice + Olivia designed makeup bag. The kit retails for $29.
Butter London
While Butter London has a number of limited edition collections for the fall/winter season, we opted to go with the “Invite Only” set. It is comprised of six irresistible fashion-inspired shades. Shades include O.T.T.
