My Yen Trung for The Globe and Mail

Finding a pearl inside an oyster may be rare, but finding a pretty pearly hue for your nails this season is perfectly within your grasp. As the days get shorter, transition your late-summer tips into fall with a metallic polish in a rich oceanic hue, a fitting tribute to those lazy jaunts to the beach you'll soon be recalling fondly.
