With summer coming to an end and fall almost here, what better time than now to start shaking things up when it comes to your nails? I don't know about you, but I'm definitely ready to put aside my pastel polishes and bring out some chic autumn shades. This fall season it's going to be all about dark, bold colors. Think rich grays, vibrant emerald greens, and cobalt blues. It's the perfect accessory for your new fall wardrobe.

With that said, let's not forget how affordable this accessory is as well. The thing I love the most about nail polish is that you don't have to spend big bucks to find a good one. In fact, some of the best polishes this fall won't cost you more than $10! Check them out!

Oxblood
Oxblood nail polishes like the Zoya Nail Polish in Toni ($8) look best on longer nails. So try growing yours out at least past the fingertip and file them into an almond or oval shape.
Amethyst
I’m in love with the Revlon ColorStay Longwear Nail Enamel in Amethyst ($5). The vampy purple shade looks great against dark and neutral shades and the gel-like formula stays on for days!
Midnight blue
Black lacquers can give off a 90s gothy/punk vibe. For a more sophisticated look, try a midnight blue polish instead, like Essie Polish in After School Boy Blazer ($8).
Fuchsia
Who says you can’t rock bright colors in the fall? Put away those pale pinks and try an electric fuchsia shade, like Sephora Collection Color Hit Nail Polish in 25 Speed Dating Fuschia ($5). Your nails will thank you!
Orange
Fiery oranges and bright tangerines make for the perfect fall pick-me-up. I love Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Nail Lacquer in Radiate ($10).
Cobalt
Cobalt blue looks great on everyone, especially on women with medium or dark skin. Try Top Shop Nail Polish in Varsity ($10).
Metallic
When it comes to metallic polishes we’re not just talking, gold, silver, and bronze. Try a mossy color that has a little bit of green, subtle silvers, and shimmer, like Essie Nail Polish in For the Twill of It ($8).
Emerald
Pantone named emerald green the color of the year for 2013, so why not sport it on your nails? I like Sonia Kashuk Nail Colour Fall Shades in Emerald City ($5).
Gray
Gloomy shades of gray are the new nude. Try a soft, creamy color like Essie Nail Polish in Chinchilly ($8). I guarantee it’ll look great with all your fall outfits.
Ruby red
Seriously, does deep red polish ever go out of style? I don't think so! Nails Inc. Nail Polish in St. James ($5) is a truly classic shade.
