Autumn-Fall-2017-Nail-Polish-Picks-Recommendations

First up is Hare Polish Midsummers Midnight, this is a glitter which can be layered up or worn as a topper. It is a deep purple and green glitter polish in a blackened base. This is good for Halloween, I imagine that any purple or dark glitter would work well for this time of year.


Second is Leighton Denny Blueberry Bloom, a deep maroon shimmer type polish. It is dark with a twist so not as harsh as a straight up black coloured polish. The shimmer in this really makes it stand out.


Thirdly is A England Gloriana, a beautiful burnt orange glass flecked shimmer polish. This one is perfect for autumn, as the temperature begins to drop the leaves on the tress begin to change colours and I think this reflects that season change. Great for Halloween too!


The forth polish is Nails Inc Hyde Park, a repeat from last years choices, it is a muted cameo green cremé shade. Again it is reflecting the changes in nature at this time of year.


The fifth and final polish I have chosen is Laquerlicious Burnt Marshmallow, the brand is now known as Polish M. Burnt Marshmallow is a milky white base with various sizes and shades of brown, orange and black glitter. I like this for this time of year because while it is white it is also full of darker glitters which are nice for Halloween. The colours in it do remind me of burnt marshmallows.


Have you got any favourite polishes for autumn / fall?

Nail Polish: Battle of the Alternative Glitters

This category is mainly Indie Polishes with a couple of other glitters thrown in for good measure.
 Coverband - Sticks and Stones, W7 - Salt n' Pepper, W7 - Mosaic, A England - Lady of the Lake, A England - Tristam, A England - St George, A England - Bridal Veil, Hare - Midsummer's Midnight, Kleancolor - Blue Satin, Orly - Sunglasses at Night

Getting these polishes down to only three was quite difficult. In the end I settled on Coverbands Sticks and Stones as it is different and works over any base colour. I adore Midsummer's Midnight but only really works over a darker base.

 

The winner of this battle is A England's Lady of the Lake, because well it is purple and looks stunning in all of its holographic glory twinkling in the sunlight.
