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.

  

Nails: Top 5 Summer Polishes 2026

Summer Solstice was yesterday and so I'm sharing my top summer polishes for 2026. These are the polishes from my collection I will be reaching for more often.

Nails Inc Baker Street // Prism Polish Selenite // Chameleon Nails Little Mermaid // A England The Scent of Azaleas // Danglefoot Polish Oh, Plesiosaur

Baker Street is a bright cobalt blue cream, last year it was one of the polishes I wanted to finish and I think there is only one or two sets of nails worth left in the bottle so want to use it this summer.

Selenite is a blue, flakie, topper polish. I've already worn it over a blue and want to wear it again soon.

Little Mermaid is a UV reactive polish going from green to purple, however the bottle I have no longer reacts. I do want to use it though because I like the sea foam green, flakie colour it now is.

The Scent of Azaleas is a mid purple holographic, which I like wearing in direct sunlight.

Oh, Plesiosaur is a dark grey, almost black holographic polish. It is different to Oh, Plesiosaur 2.0. Black may not seem particularly summer appropriate but there is something about holographic colours in direct sunlight which you don't get in winter, well in Northern England!

  

Nails: Top Five Spring Polishes 2026

As tomorrow is the Spring equinox, and so I'm sharing my Spring 2026 nail polish picks.

I have done this type of post before which you can see 2025 here, 2023 here, 2022 here, 2021 here, 2020 here, 2019 here, 2018 here, 2017 here, 2015 here and 2014 here.

You don't need these specific polishes, but these are ones that I want to reach for during Spring. I seem to have gone for a mix of shimmer, pastels, flakies, chunky and micro glitter polishes this year.
