Nails: Top 5 Autumn / Fall Polishes 2021

As autumn arrives today I thought I would share my top five autumn / fall nail polishes.
I have done similar posts in 2020201920182017201620152014, and 2013.

A England - Gloriana // Aj Nails - Venus // Barry M - Matcha // Barry M - Espresso // ILNP - Eclipse

A England Gloriana is a metallic rust orange shade which reminds me of autumnal leaves.


Aj Nails Venus a polish which is new to my collection but it is a duochrome polish shifting between bronze and gold with a slight green shift.


Barry M Matcha is a army green cream polish which is nice for autumnal skittle nails.


Barry M Espresso, another new to my collection polish. Espresso is a dark brown cream polish, you can tell it is a brown and not black on the nails which is nice.


ILNP Eclipse, one of the first red to black shifting polishes from late 2020. Dark and shifty, something which is distracting watching the shifts on the nails.

Nails: Top 5 Autumn / Fall Polishes 2020

As autumn arrived yesterday I thought I would share my top five autumn / fall nail polishes.
I have done similar posts in 201920182017201620152014, and 2013.


Dystopia Midnight's Mirror is a duochrome darker polish, going between a navy and a purple, duochrome's are hard to photograph but they do look stunning on the nails and this being darker makes it lovely for the autumn.

 

A England Maxim is a muted red shade, not something bright but fits in with the colour scheme of autumn leaves. The fact that Maxim is a holographic adds something extra to it, which I like.


Fancy Gloss Magma is new to my collection, it is a duochrome flakie topper polish. I have worn it over black in the photo below. It again fits in with the colour scheme of autumn, russet, yellow shades. Given this is a topper you could wear it over any of the other polishes I have posted about here.


OPI My Italian is a Little Rusty is the newest polish to my collection, it is a deep terracotta shade. Reminds me of something typical in the 1970's, not something I would tend to reach for year round but I didn't have one this particular shade and thought it would be ideal for autumn.


Barry M Spearmint could be a winter polish but I have been reaching for it more often in autumn. It is more of a muted cream polish which would make a nice base for some seasonal stamping, or with Fancy Gloss Magma over top.

Nails: Top 5 Autumn / Fall Polishes 2019

As autumn is almost upon us and so thought I would share my top five autumn / fall nail polishes.
I have done similar posts in 20182017201620152014, and 2013.

Laquerlicious - All Bundled Up // OPI - In The Cable Car Pool Lane // Kleancolor - Chunky Holo Black // OPI - Rub A Pub Pub // Essie - Angora Cardi

Laquerlicious - All Bundled Up | I chose this as it is a deep blue glitter, it is dark but not so dark it just looks black and the glitter just adds a bit of something to it.


OPI - In The Cable Car Pool Lane | Would it be autumn without a berry shade polish? This is a nice berry cream.


Kleancolor - Chunky Holo Black | I prefer this over a black base, it is a flakie topper which has autumnal oranges and greens in it.


OPI - Rub A Pub Pub | A new addition to my collection from the Scotland 2019 range. This is a slate grey cream which is dark and moody but without it just looking plain black.


Essie - Angora Cardi | This is a dusty pink cream, its a great base for a wooly jumper / sweater type nail art.

Nails: Top 5 Autumn / Fall Polishes 2018

Autumn is almost upon us and so thought I would share my top five autumn / fall nail polishes. I have done similar posts in 20172016, 20152014, and 2013.

Danglefoot Polish - Oh Plesiosaur // Sinful Colors - Courtney Orange // Barry M - Vintage Violet // A England - Briarwood // Nails Inc - Piccadilly Circus


Danglefoot Polish - Oh Plesiosaur, is a dark grey holographic polish which I have chosen as a final hurrah to summer. If we are lucky autumn will still have some sunlight for us and so making Plesiosaur show off it's beautiful holographic finish.


The second polish is Sinful Colors - Courtney Orange which is the only shimmer polish I have picked. It is quite a in your face type of orange but I think it works for this time of year as all the leaves begin to turn and change colour.


Thirdly is Barry M - Vintage Violet, a dusty lilac colour, something purple but more muted, verging on dark but not quite.


The forth pick is A England - Briarwood, which is a dark polish. Quite similar to autumnal leaves but holographic which is a different twist on a maroon shade.


The final polish I chose was Nails Inc - Piccadilly Circus. A warm berry shade which is a nice autumn way to wear a pink polish. It is a little bit deeper than it is showing in the photo below.
