Fall is the season nail color earns its depth. The flat brights of summer give way to pigment with weight — oxblood that shifts in low light, espresso with a warm undertone, gold leaf laid by hand. This is exactly the register a printed sticker can't fake and a hand-painted gel set was built for.
Thirty fall designs below, in six themes. Every one can be ordered as a hand-painted Handora set that lasts two to four weeks and re-wears five to ten times.
