7 Best Neutral Nail Polish Shades for Fall
As much as we love a good neon mani moment every now and then, there’s something so refreshing about wearing a neutral nail color. Nudes, soft browns and light pinks look crisp and polished — not to mention, you don’t have to worry about the colors clashing with your outfit. If you’re looking for a classic, barely-there nail polish shade to transition your manicure from the bright hues of summer to the moody hues of fall, we rounded up seven of our favorites ahead.

Shush Me Again from Aila Cosmetics is a creamy opaque nude. It gives you a barely noticeable manicure that looks crisp and clean with just one coat. If you choose to build on it, the color becomes a darker warm tan but still feels like it’s barely there.
