Nails: Top 5 Autumn / Fall Polishes 2026

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 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013.

Prism Polish Calcite // A England Flaming June // Swamp Gloss The Alpha and the Beta // Leighton Denny Chestnut Charm // Makeup Revolution Horror Show

Calcite is a flakie topper which looks like autumn leaves, this one leans more red than Fancy Gloss Magma. I think this worn matte will make a lovely set of autumnal nails.

Flaming June is a golden orange holographic polish, the tone reminds me of the sunsets you get around this time of year in the UK.

The Alpha and the Beta, this is a vivid purple base with fuchsia hex glitters. There's something quite Halloween themed about this polish for me.

Chestnut Charm, its more a brown red than a red brown metallic which isn't showing up well in this photo. It's another autumnal leaf shade.

Horror Show, is a dark grey metallic polish which is good for Halloween and later in autumn. The bottle also is very Halloween-y.

Shopping: March 2026

I made an order with Prism Polish;

Always Half Hidden // Aragonite // Calcite // Selenite // Twinkling Tree

Found a magnet for less than £5 on AliExpress to try the glass bead magnet effect;

Three sheets of stickers;

And lastly Soap and Glory Sugar Crush body buttercream, this had been discontinued but I saw it again in Boots so put my points to use;
