"    Photo: Jin Soon   Nail notable Jin Soon Choi is not only one of the most influential talents in the talon trade, she&amp;#039;s also one of the nicest. The Korea native&amp;#039;s entrepreneurial path began with the creation of her own line of women&amp;#039;s wear before she moved stateside to NYC where she worked as a freelance nail artist. In 1999, Choi opened Jin Soon Natural Hand and Foot Spa in the East Village, before expanding to include two other locations in Manhattan. To the delight of digit darlings all over the world, she finally introduced her own eponymous line. Here, she offers trends she&amp;#039;s over for fall, her favorite manicure look she&amp;#039;s created to date, and what she&amp;#039;s up to when she&amp;#039;s not painting tips.   ELLE: What nail trends are you officially over for fall? JSC: Gel nail art, especially the kind achieved with a really heavy hand. I can also do without three-dimensional gel art. I prefer classic, elegant nail art instead of the garish kind. I&amp;#039;m also over neon. I like bright colors, but I&amp;#039;m over neon. ELLE: How should we decorate our talons this season? JSC: I&amp;#039;m under neutral colors. It&amp;#039;s such a simple, beautiful look. I like sheer and cream iterations. You don&amp;#039;t have to worry about what they go with, and they provide a modern look for autumn. This fall is all about simple edgy colors with a super-high gloss on a subtle round or roundish-square shape to convey a look of sophistication. Simple, more elegant nail art or glitter will prevail over crazy, over-the-top nail art this fall. ELLE: You&amp;#039;ve worked on the nails for amazing fashion houses and on major editorial cover shoots. What is your favorite nail look you&amp;#039;ve ever created? JSC: My favorite is one I did for The New York Times, a seven-color story on nail art. It was actually quite sensational back then, a decade ago. It&amp;#039;s great now because everyone is so interested in nail art. ELLE: What is one piece of nail advice you&amp;#039;d like everyone to heed? JSC: Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Moisturizing is essential\u2014keep your cuticles and hands hydrated. Take care of your hands as carefully as you would your face! ELLE: What do you like to do when not working? JSC: These days I&amp;#039;ve been watching a lot of comedies, especially Korean ones. It&amp;#039;s a favorite activity of mine because it helps me keep in touch with my Korean heritage and relax simultaneously. ELLE: Sounds fun! What&amp;#039;s next for you? JSC: I recently launched a nail polish line, so I see myself becoming more deeply involved with the expansion of my product line, figuring out how to let everyone have a little bit of &amp;quot;my creativity&amp;quot; in a bottle.
