To do this design, paint your nails purple for the Ravens or red for the 49ers and let dry. Then place tape one millimeter from the tip of your nail and add a stripe of your team’s second color (white or metallic gold for Ravens, metallic gold for 49ers) over nail tip and edge of the tape. Take the tape off and let dry, then add a coat of clear polish.

Autumn is right around the corner, and it’s time to start thinking about your look of the season! You already know that fall staples like sweaters and skinny jeans will soon be flooding your closet, but how are you going to style your nails for the season? You know you want to ditch the boring designs and same-old polishes of last season, but what new nail trends will break out in fall that you absolutely must try?

We've got your covered! Here is a list of the hottest nail trends for Fall 2012:

1. Double Reverse French Manicure: This is such an elegant look that features a dark color (such as black) painted at the tips of the nails, with the rest of the nail covered in a soft shimmer or clear polish.

2. Black and Gold Nail Wraps by OPI: These wraps are fast, easy to apply, and long-lasting. It is a very dramatic look that is great for evening.

3. Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color: You can achieve 3-D Nail Art in seconds with this fun and fabulous polish. You have several colors to choose from, and all you do is apply 2 coats, hold the included magnet for 10 seconds over each nail's wet polish, then you apply a top coat. You will get a shiny, 3-dimensional special effect look. Available in Drug Stores.

4. Burgundy Nail Polish: A very elegant polish that is the "go to" color this fall season.

5. Matte Polishes: A matte top-coat takes away your nail color's shine and gives even the girliest polishes an edgy, modern look. Try out this unique style to stand out from the crowd!

6. Complete DIY Nail Customization: Being able to completely customize your nails in regard to shape, length, and color without having to make expensive and inconvenient trips to the salon. Saving money on beauty products and procedures is always in! Likewise, complete DIY nail customization also means being able to use your nails as an outlet for artistic expression. Rather than paint the nails one solid color, a huge trend will be decorating the nails to express one’s artistic ability, as well as show off one’s unique interests. This can mean painting the nails with intricate designs like tribal art, or decorating them with words and characters from favorite movies and television shows. Nails will become one’s artistic easel for a new kind of self-expression.
