'Tis the season of the darkened fall manicure. But rather than going for a traditional Bordeaux or plum, Blake Lively is taking hints from her assemblage of Hollywood bling, which today resulted in a a new off-kilter deep grey-blue nail color that she revealed in close-up on her Instagram.

For an appearance on Good Morning America in New York, the actress pinned her lustrous blonde hair into a half-up style, her golden lengths heightened by a sunny canary yellow Brandon Maxwell pantsuit—then she deftly tempered the buoyant sensibilities of the look with an eclectic mix of jewelry and an equally moody nail color. Light-catching geometric statement earrings featuring tawny brown and bright white diamonds gave way to an assortment of semi-precious rings in every shade of fallen leaf. Picking up the tones of the former, celebrity manicurist Elle painted on a base coat of Dior Vernis Gel in Junon, followed by a sheer, taupe-grey shade from RMK.

A far cry from basic black, it's a scene-stealing manicure that makes the case for creative layering. And if heavyweight diamond accessories aren't in your near future? Just take an inspired cue from October's stormy skies.
