With Halloween just around the corner, rocking a dark, vampy nail is more appropriate than ever. We love the inky sable shade Alessandra Ambrosio wore, and how she changed up the traditional French mani by adding glitter to the tip. The extra shimmer is a grown-up take on the blinged-out polishes of years past, and since glitter is harder to remove, Ambrosio’s manicure has extra staying power. Deeper shades tend to stain the nail bed, so be sure to apply a generous amount of base coat to shield each of your digits. When you’re ready for a polish change, remember to use a rich hand cream before you swipe on the nail polish remover. It prevents the dark hue from bleeding onto your cuticles, and keeps the nail polish remover from drying out your hands.
