Plus, shimmer, metallics and matte are here to stay!
Take a look…
1. OPI Peru Fall 2018
The new OPI collection is inspired by Peru’s rich culture, lively food and fashion scenes.

The shades are all available in OPI’s three ranges of Infinite Shine, Nail Lacquer and Gel.

4. Deborah Lippmann All Fired Up
This season, Deborah Lippmann has issued five metallic nail colours which seem to want to skip the Fall, rather preparing us for a long winter. The vampy metallics take advantage of the late autumn descent into winter and, amidst increasingly frigid temperatures, evoke feelings of warmth and strength. They would look especially beautiful by the hearth or at any holiday party. For a more edgy look, wear them with a matte top coat.

- Nasty – fuschia

5. YSL Yconic Purple – Limited Edition
The new YSL Fall 2018 makeup collection includes the two stunning purples, sure to be go-tos for polish lovers this season. The colours are rich and timeless, but nontraditional and “alternatif” or “underground” as their names purport. Just like all YSL nail polishes, the new La Laque Couture colours are easy to apply, quick to dry and very long lasting.
YSLYconic Purple Collection Fall 2018 nail polishes:
- Mauve Alternatif – muted mauve purple creme
- Violet Underground – violet metallic shimmer
Must-have colours: Violet Underground
Available now: here for $28 USD or here for $32.00 CAD, n/a in Australia.
6. Dior Dior en Diable – Limited Edition
Dior’s latest limited edition nail polish colors sizzle with the fiery spirit. The bright Fall nail colours remind me of the falling leaves and retain their femininity in the heated and fickle season. If you want your nails to have a mischievous character and a gorgeous gel like finish, this collection is perfect for you.
Dior Dior en Diable Fall 2018 nail polishes – limited edition:
- Rouge en Diable – fire and brimstone red
- Trigger – shimmering lavender
- Devilish Cute – peachy pink
- Hot – flaming orange
- Sulphurous – squash yellow

I’ve already got to play with a couple of OPI Peru nail polishes (lucky me) here at SoNailicious HQ and Maria is dying to get her hands on the new Dior Dior en Diable lacquers.
What about you, have you already tried any of these new Fall nail polishes? And, which collection is on your list?
