Nails: Top 5 Winter Polishes 2022

As today is Yule, the Winter Solstice signalling the start of the official winter season in the Northern Hemisphere I thought now would be a good time to share my top five winter polishes. I have done similar blog posts in previous years 2021 (here), 2020 (here), 2019 (here), 2018 (here), 2017 (here) and 2016 (here).

Nails Inc Pudding Lane // A England St. George // Orly You're on Sapphire // Barry M Berry Cosmo // Orly Naughty

Pudding Lane - I seem to wear more white during winter than summer, either way its a good base for snow based nail art. This is an off white cream finish polish.

St. George - A good dark green holo polish.

You're on Sapphire - A dark blue shimmer, quite an icy shade.

Berry Cosmo a dark purple but clearly is a purple not a black, cream finish polish.

 Naughty - And finally a deep oxblood cream polish, winter is a time I reach for dark polishes more often.

   

Nails: Top 5 Autumn / Fall Polishes 2022

As autumn arrives today I thought I would share my top five autumn / fall nail polishes.

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

Sally Hansen - Copper Penny // Fancy Gloss - Magma // Barry M - Copper Mine // Aj Nails - Venus // 

Barry M - Hibiscus

Sally Hansen Copper Penny is standard copper glitter in a clear base, I like to create a glitter gradient with this polish.

Fancy Gloss Magma is another topper, this is a multichrome flakie which shines the colours of autumn leaves.

Barry M Copper Mine is a metallic polish and as the name suggests in the colour light copper.

Aj Nails Venus is a multichrome polish similar to Magma however this isn't a topper and can be worn as is.

Barry M Hibiscus is the only cream polish I have chosen, it is a dusty purple shade.

   

Nails: Top 5 Summer Polishes 2022

Summer Solstice will be tomorrow and so I should get around to sharing my top summer polishes for 2022. These are the polishes from my collection I will be reaching for more often.

If you are interested you can see my summer picks for 2021 here, 2020 here, 2019 here, 2018 here, 2017 here, 2015 here and 2014 here.

Orly - Crash the Party // Polish Me Silly - Glow Girl // ILNP - Funshine Smoothie // AJ Nails - Peacock // Barry M - Holographic Lights

Crash the Party is a bright warm neon purple polish, quite bold and very difficult to photograph.

Glow Girl a flakie topper, I recently wore it over a lilac cream for a ethereal sort of design.

Funshine Sunshine is a bright warm yellow holographic polish, holo polishes look great in sunlight.

Peacock is very much a neon green, one that is opaque in two coats and no white base coat required. Neon polishes are something I reach for more often in summer.

Holographic Lights, is another holo polish so great in sunlight, and this one is a bright silver.

   

Nails: Top 5 Spring Polishes 2022

Barry M - Prickly Pear // Barry M - Periwinkle // Models Own - Swan // A England - Angel Grace // Barry M - Holographic Sunburst

On Sunday it will be the Spring equinox, and so I'm sharing my Spring 2022 nail polish picks.

I have done this type of post before which you can see 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 all pastel polishes this year again, with a lot of purples.

Prickly Pear is a brighter pastel lilac shade, it is cream in finish and opaque in two coats.

Periwinkle is a spring offering from Barry M from earlier this year. It is a very light blue cream polish opaque in two coats.

Swan is a lilac crelly with black speckled glitters, opaque in three coats from a 2014 collection. Something very Easter appropriate about these types of polishes.

Angel Grace is a vivid holographic polish, which looks good in direct sunlight, again opaque in two coats.

Holographic Sunburst is another choice from Barry M, it is also holographic but not as vivid as Angel Grace. Looks good in direct sunlight and is opaque in two coats.
