Finger Prints: 3 textured manicures to try this fall, courtesy L’Oréal Paris nail pro Tom Bachik

Holding Pattern
“They’re not grunge anymore,” says Bachik of the darker polishes his clients often request for the red carpet. Here, he’s painted one over a bright purple lacquer, pressing a cloth on the still-wet top coat to add dimension, like a glimmering opal. Try L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Nail Colour in “Paparazzi Pleaser” and “Breaking Curfew.”

Crunch Time
Rich-scarlet nails were a mainstay this season, often matching models’ lip colour. Bachik painted a coat of the classic hue before adhering coral-red crushed shells. Try L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Nail Colour in “He Red My Mind.”

Different Strokes
Bachik brushed on a matte polish, and added a stripe of lacquer infused with multicoloured fabric flecks that resemble metal shavings.
