Trend Alerts, and the Best Thereof
Red Shimmers/Metallics:
Reds tended to be slightly on the purple side, and glitter/shimmer/metallic effects were in.
Butter London - "Knees Up" [Re-release] - Lipgossiping (Deep ruby metallic)
OPI - "A Color to Diner For" - Polishaholic (Bright red shimmer)
Burgundy/Wines
As always a glorious fall shade (and one of my favorite colors in fashion, period), burgundy was in, both in shimmers and cremes.
China Glaze - "Lofty Ambitions" - Scrangie (Reddish wine shimmer)
Zoya - "Anja" - Scrangie (Very dark reddish burgundy creme)
Medium Red Cremes
There were so many of these! I didn't care much for the jellies, but a couple of the richly saturated cremes are gorgeous.
China Glaze - Brownstone - Scrangie (Brown-toned red creme)
Color Club - "Red-ical Gypsy" - Polishaholic (Blue-toned red creme)
Coral/Light Pink Shimmers
Another huge trend. I don't see why this is a fall shade at all, but there are always some pink-lovers... right? OPI conquered it; I liked all of these the best.
OPI - "I Eat Mainely Lobster" - Polishaholic (Light coral shimmer)
OPI - "Are We There Yet" - Polishaholic (Light melon-coral shimmer)
OPI - "My Address is Hollywood" - Polishaholic (Light rose-coral shimmer)
Berries
Typical fall color, only one standout.
China Glaze - "Traffic Jam" - Scrangie (Berry pink/purple creme)
Purple Cremes/Glitters
Light, dark, grey-ed out, plum, periwinkle... purple was everywhere.
Zoya - "Jana" - Scrangie (Light grey-purple creme)
Butter London - "Toff" - Squared Nails (Dusty rose/purple creme)
Zoya - "Neeka" - Polishaholic (Light plum with gold glitter)
SpaRitual - "Sacred Ground" - Polishaholic (Light purple with lavender and gold glitter)
Metallic Gold/Greens
Hi, my name is Chanel Peridot, and along with my sister, Graphite, I am the top trendsetter this season.

Avocado/Olive/Military Green
The seventies rule the catwalks... and the nail polish sets.

Tiffany's Turquoise
Not, again, a real fall color, but it's still out there, and it's a big trend.
Color Club - "New Bohemian" - Polishaholic (Light turquoise blue creme)
Teals and Rich Blues
Cremes and shimmers alike from medium to dark shades dominated. Dior's "Tuxedo" is probably a contributing factor.

Dark Brown
I love browns and dark browns, so this one is a favorite trend of mine.
OPI - "Get in the Espresso Lane" - Polishaholic (Dark grey-brown creme)
Zoya - "Codie" - Polishaholic (Dark brown creme)
Taupes
Particuliere's imitators will never, ever die. Can we ever get tired of taupes, though? So elegant.
