It’s that in between time when summer weather isn’t quite over, but fall weather hasn’t fully kicked in yet, making it a bit tricky to decide what to do with your nails. That’s why this is the perfect moment for a nail refresh with transitional styles. Whether you’re into chic neutrals that effortlessly carry you from summer to fall or bold, statement making looks, I’ve got you covered. I’m excited to share a variety of nail ideas today that will help you nail that perfect September vibe!
