    New season, new nail trends. Here's everything you need to know about AW15's hottest nail colours...

    As the new season rolls around, and we begin to think about all the new ways to re-charge our wardrobes, there's one quick-fix that's guaranteed to liven up our look with minimal effort, maximum impact and very little cost - It's the AW15 new nail shades.

    This season's palette of chic khaki shades, rich wine tones and barely-there nudes will be oh-so-easy to wear now, and well into winter, too.

    Last season's shades of black and navy remain, mostly for their go-with-everything potential, but also because they just look so great.

    Metallics were by far one of the hottest trends to emerge from the AW15 shows. Seen at Vivienne Westwood and Manish Arora. Colour blocking was key, and championed by the likes of Prabal Gurung. While Mary Katrantzou went for an ultra-chic, and very unexpected mucky grey shade, that had us totally hooked.
