JESSICA PETTWAY CAPTURES BOLD NAIL ART FOR INSTYLE

Did you know that fall is the best time to wear bright, bold nail art? Neither did we. 

"Switching to dark, moody nail polishes come fall is one of the many arbitrary beauty rules that are made to be broken.

In fact, the crisp, breezy fall days are the best time of year to wear loud manicures," writes Erin Lukas in the new issue of InStyle.

"I’m obsessed with all things having to do with beauty and adornment—especially nail art!" says Jessica. "I get a new set of nail art every month and have had the same nail tech for about five years. I love projects that allow me to combine this passion with storytelling through photography and video!"
