These days, nail polish is as much of an accessory as a fabulous handbag or a piece of attention-grabbing jewelry. From bold, single-color nails to dramatic nail art, manicures are a must-do!
Here are a handful of manicure must-haves that will help get your digits oh-so-pretty in a snap, plus five of fall’s hottest polish shades, guaranteed to make your trendy tips the talk of the town:
Tools Of The Trade
Revlon Crazy Shine Nail Buffer ($3.49): This revolutionary buffer will create 400% more shine than bare nails, giving you a “topcoat” shine in seconds!
Butter London Melt Away Cuticle Eliminator ($18): We all know gnarly cuticles are a beauty no-no. This smart treatment basically “melts away” your cuticles by gently softening the dead skin cells. Simply apply one coat to clean nails and say buh-bye to those irksome cuticle issues!
