Summer/Fall 2009 Nail Trend: Matte Off-White Nails

For nails this Fall, the theme is “go matte or go home” with nail polishes that have no glossy finish. The result is a chic, semi-matte nail look that doesn’t at all appear dull or lackluster despite the lack of shine. How can one attain this look without specifically hunting for matte nail lacquers? Essie has made it easy with their upcoming “Matte About You” matte finisher top coat which is designed to give any nail polish a chic matte finish despite its natural finish. It’s not set to retail until August 09, so be on the lookout!

In the meantime, get nails trend-set for fall by donning light, white or off-white nails. Anyone can sport this look, but on tanned-dark skin it looks especially stunning! Celebs including Rachel Zoe, Paris Hilton, Khloe Kardashian, and Gwen Stefani are fans.

How about you? Will you sport this look?
