Hot Beauty Colours

We asked Karon McKendrick-Taylor, OPI Educator and Stylist, what to expect from the new season.
‘The autumn and winter seasons will be filled with rich seductive shades of ruby-red and blue-red, burnt orange, tangerine, rustic pink, dark burgundy, plum & berry purples, eggplant purple, midnight blue, dark forest green, khakis, taupe and dark brown.
After enjoying a vibrant summer filled with bright lacquer shades, including orange, yellow, mint green and aqua, the autumn and winter season promises to be more traditional in terms of its dark rich colour tones.’
