Bags and Beauty: Fall 2016’s Best Handbags Coordinate With Some of the Season’s Hottest Nail Polishes

Coordinating your nail polish with your favorite handbag is more important that you think. Our hands come in contact with our bags countless times and this interaction is the perfect way to show off your freshly painted nails. We’ve been keeping a close eye the latest Fall 2016 handbag arrivals and these rich, warm hued bags will coordinate with many of Fall 2016’s latest nail trends. Shimmering metallics and muted nail shades are in abundance and below you’ll see just how we paired them!

The neutral tones of this Chloé Faye bag are the epitome of fall. The brand is known for their effortless aesthetic and of course, a bag like this needs an equally cool polish.Dior’s Riveria shade is the perfect match, and not to mention, a great transitional shade!

With the amount of metallic polishes available for purchase (you’ll see plenty more in this slideshow!), we think it’s safe to say metallic polish is about to have a moment for fall. The plum shade of this Chanel bag is exquisite and the shimmery metallic polish from NARS compliments the bag perfectly.

Since its debut, Coach’s Rogue bag has come in a variety of colors, patterns and contrasting edging and top handles. By far, my favorite is this hunter green and contrasting python combo, especially when paired with Marc Jacobs shimmering polish.

I’ve always been obsessed with shimmering mid-night blue shades for fall. Blue can be a tough color to pull off, but the hint of shimmer makes the polish glamorous and sophisticated and it certainly wasn’t hard to find the perfect match for this Céline Phantom.
