Katy Perry, our currently favorite, blue haired and big eyed pop princess, has launched a nail polish line with OPI.

Teenage Dream, Not Like the Movies, Last Friday Night, and The One That Got Away

The nail color collection will retail for $9, and will launch at Ulta in January, although I wish it would launch sooner so I could wear some sparkles on my nails for New Years Eve.

Green is not a huge trend this fall when it comes to nail polish color, but after seeing how good NARS’ Fall Vintage nail color Zulu looked on Temptalia, I was inspired to get a green manicure. My hands down most favorite nail salon in the city, Blooming Nails on Lexington between 40th and 41st didn’t have anything except for Orly’s Enchanted Forrest however so I had to settle for that shade. It didn’t turn out too bad though! What do you think?

Aside from seeing lots of grey nail polish on girls around the city, I’m seeing dark metallic shades in all the salons and will soon see them on stylish nails. These limited edition dark metallic colors from NARS were inspired by old Hollywood movies and are absolutely gorgeous!

Grey is Fall’s biggest trend for nail color, which I had written about a little while back although khaki nail polishes are creeping up on the popularity scale. After testing out grey shades from OPI and Sally Hanson, I settled on Essie’s Chinchilly as my grey of choice. Having missed the chance to buy Lilacism in Essie’s summer collection at the drugstore and being forced to pay a ton to buy it at a salon, I snapped up a bottle of Chinchilly as soon as I saw it at Duane Reade for $8. I love the shade and it layers so beautifully under gold glitter polish too.

Summer is winding down and the slightly cooler mornings and changing window displays in all the clothing stores reminds us that Fall is just around the corner. When it comes to fashion and style, I’m not a fan of starting to dress for the next season while the current is not yet over but in terms of picking a color for a manicure, I’ll make an exception.

Grey was one of the popular colors last Fall and beige or tan is a staple color for autumn anyway. I was delighted to see these two colors combined to create Fall’s bigger nail color trend of  “greige” (grey+beige).

Greige was seen on Lady Gaga’s nails on the cover of this month’s Vanity Fair as well as on Sienna Miller and Scarlett Johansson in the tabloids, making it Fall’s top trend.
