Nails: Top 5 Autumn / Fall Polishes 2024

As autumn arrives today I thought I would share my top five autumn / fall nail polishes. Polishes I plan on wearing as autumn rolls in.

I have done similar posts in 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013.

Orly Act of Folly // Orly Rustic Root // OPI Dutch Ya Just Love OPI // Rimmel Blue Sea Star // Fancy Gloss Magma

Orly Act of Folly is a grungy moss green, a colour which to me seems very autumnal. It was also part of Orly's autumn release last year.

Orly Rustic Root is a brick red another colour which is autumnal like one of the colours leaves turn. Again this was from autumn this year's autumn Orly release.

OPI Dutch Ya Just Love OPI this is a plum purple shade with a subtle golden shimmer. I think it was part of the summer 2012 Holland collection, but I think its more autumnal.

Rimmel Blue Sea Star is a dusty blue cream, during autumn the nights get longer and this reminds me of that. I don't know when this was released.

 

Fancy Gloss Magma is a flakie topper, the flakes are multichrome going from yellow to orange to red again very much like the leaves at this time of year.

   

Nail Polish Battle 2023: White, Grey, Black, Nude

This past year I have added ten polishes in to this category;

Cirque Colors Last Unicorn // Orly Ceci N'est Pas Blanc // Orly Dreamers Awake // Orly Unravelling Story // Orly Endless Night // ILNP Orbit // I Scream Nails Holo Be Thy Name // Orly Shaky Alibi // Barry M Cinnamon // Orly Act of Folly

After thinking about it the following were my top three;

In third place is Endless Night, a gunmetal grey metallic which leans slightly blue.

Second place is Holo Be Thy Name, a dark black linear holographic polish. Hard to make a dark holographic because the partials that do that are grey which lightens polishes. I like this one, the bottle is unique too.

Picking between the top two was difficult, however Orbit won because I own quite a few black holographic polishes and Orbit is unique. It is a grey to red ultra multichrome polish, similar to ILNP Eclipse but grey rather than black.
