   24/7, every month, every year, through every season, with every fashion trend and passing by every decade of style a girl always has these companions with her no matter where she is, where she is going are what she is doing. They are with her day and night helping her through any mood she transitions through. Who are these mystery friends you wonder? Look no further for they are right in front of you. Literally, they are. For these acquaintances are the nails!

   Whether you realize it or not the nails can say everything about a girl. Color choices are crucial. Everyone has their own preference, but let us help guide you to your most fashionable preference concerning nail color.
   Start with the season. Given that it is autumn your nail color is impacted. More than you think. The top nail trends for this fall are nail noir, electric colors, metallic manias, and the neutrals.
   I. Nail noir– black is always in but shades that are slightly off of black are even more in for this fall.  Look for dark shades and moody hues, such as midnight hues, emerald greens, and dusky purples. As an additional tip, dark nails tend to look better slightly longer just past the fingertip and perhaps in an oval shape.

· Color examples: Midnight Blue (top), Amethyst (middle) and Emerald green (bottom)

A warm buff, soft grays and taupe colors are a classy and beautifully naked way of flaunting the nails.

About the Contributor
Zoe Schlosser
Zoe Schlosser, Leaflet Editor-in-Chief
This year marks the fourth and final year of my being a writer and designer for The Leaf and Leaflet. Starting out as an inexperienced staff writer, I never imagined that I would work my way to being Co-Editor In Chief of SHS’ digital magazine, The Leaflet. It has been a crazy couple of years full of learning experiences, hasty deadlines, and countless hours spent in order to put together successful, full-proof issues. I’ve treasured every minute that I have been apart of such a wonderful team of people, and I will truly miss all of the amazing characteristics that being a journalist for The Leaf accompanies. However, there is still so much to be done! There are always stories to write and pages to design and I am so excited for what this year has to offer.   -Zoe Schlosser
