With fall just around the corner, popular jewelry brand Kendra Scott debuted a line of [gem-inspired nail polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tree-hut-gemstone-glow). While pricier than other drugstore brand polishes, the high-end hues help to elevate any outfit with colors pulled straight from nature.

The new Kendra Scott collection is inspired by the beautiful gemstones used in the brand's jewelry -- meaning customers can easily match their manicure to their accessories. There are [23 polishes in the collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-products), including dramatic gem-hued shades such as rose quartz, turquoise and black onyx. The polishes even come in a gem-inspired bottle that reflects the collection's earthy inspiration.

For consumers looking for a new way to wear Kendra Scott's [colorful and metallic jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-west-chrome-collection), this new nail polish collection provides the perfect solution.
