Self explains how to transition summer shades to fall favorites with jet black polish. Use the black as a base coat or on top for an autumnal hue that’s still true to the original color. Try adding a black base coat to Zoya’s Dana or Essie’s St. Lucia Lilac for a dramatic deep plum and pretty purple-gray.

The runway is being swayed by earthy influences, from florals and leaves to birds and butterflies, and there's some bright new polish to match that.
