Fummer Colors

Fummer: the random time of year when you want to wear fall colors without the warmth of fall fabrics. I've been craving fall everything but at the same time, it feels a little too early to pull out a chunky cable knit. And, I'm not quite ready to go all-out fall with nail colors either. Eggplant, navy, greige, inky turquoise, it all just seems a little premature. So, I decided to share my favorite Fummer nail colors with you.

Sand Tropez, Essie

Take 2 of Sand Tropez

I'm currently wearing Sand Tropez. It's the perfect pre-fall grey. It has just enough nude to add the warmth you need this time of year.  I would go so far as to call it more of a putty than a grey.


Fummer Favs (clockwise from bottom): OPI Skull & Glossbones, Essie Sand Tropez, OPI Tickle My France-y, Essie Island Hopping, OPI Mermaids Tears. 

Skull & Glossbones is definitely the most traditional "grey" in this vignette. It's a lovely bone color, hence, the name.

Tickle My France-y: The color in this shot isn't truly accurate. Tickle My France-y is way more mauve than it appears. It's my go-to fall nude. It's a nude with personality and the slight tinge of mauve keeps it from being blah.

Island Hopping: One of my absolute favs-- this shot makes it look more pink than it actually is. It's more of a muted raisin, which sounds dreadful, but trust me, it's stellar.

Mermaid Tears: Don't hate on the color just because the name sucks. This is the perfect fall celery. I love all of these because it's the pastel version of a typical fall color, which is exactly what you want for Fummer. Enjoy!
