Even years after leaving school days behind, August still feels like a great moment to start over and refresh. The peak of summer heat meets the anticipation for cooler weather and fall favorites, and that makes this month a major transitional period. For your manicure, that means embracing key autumn shades while keeping color bright and sunny. From baked clay reds to syrupy browns and latte shades, these are the perfect shades to take you from summer to fall. Get standout color that's as gorgeous in major heatwaves as it is in a cozy coffee house, with all the longevity and wear of your favorite gel.
