This fall, it’s all about being dramatic, but subtle at the same time. So what’s the hottest nail polish color this fall? It’s all about purple! Dark, regal colors give an air of sophistication and maturity, but also sexiness and fun, so bring out the purples!

This season, it’s all about darker nail polish hues, and blue is at the top of the list along with some classic colors such as red and deep purple. Navy blues as well as midnight blues are very popular this season and they go great with any white or navy outfit.

Getting the perfect manicure can be a bit nerve wrecking, especially if you’re willing to do it yourself. The nail polish color never matches your outfits, and you always find yourself with chipped polish. The answer? Simple. Use an off-white nail color on both your nails as well as your toe nails.

If there is one thing most women try to achieve but just can’t do it, is get longer nails. It’s hard to get your nails to grow because of so many things, including calcium deficiency. If your body does not get enough calcium, your nails tend to slow their growth and they become weak and brittle. Even if you do get enough calcium but your nails are still short and weak, it may be because that calcium doesn’t go through, in which case a lot of people have to take vitamins and calcium tablets. That being said, there are other factors which stop your nails from growing. One of th...
