Autumn Nail Polish Collection



I thought since the leaves have started to fall from the trees and the nights are sneakily drawing in, why not get excited for Autumn and dig out all of my nail polish colours that I'd usually wear around this time of year.

I've swatched the collection of chosen colours on a nail wheel and laid out the bottles so you can see what they are.

Starting with the darkest colours first.

I love darker colours for Autumn, and especially the ones above. My personal favourites are the Nails Inc Motcomb Street which is a deep navy (it can almost seem black from afar) and Nails Inc Piccadilly Circus, for it's a gorgeous deep raspberry colour that I don't often see with any other brands.

Although I love the darker colours in the Autumn months, I do feel like a bright pop of colour now and then to keep things fresh. My favourite of the above has to be OPI's Pompeii Purple. I first heard about this colour when I had my nails done in a nail bar, and the beautician recommended it. It's a bright pink with hints of blue running through when it catches the light. My other favourite of the bunch above has to be China Glaze's Frostbite. It's a metallic bright blue that catches any eye it comes across!

You can't go wrong with nude nail shades at any point in the year. My personal favourites from the bunch above are Essie's Neo Whimsical, a lovely chic shade and Madamoiselle, a sheer but buildabe colour from Essie too. It also looks gorgeous used with a french manicure.


Do you like these shades? What colours do you think I'm missing?
