Autumnal Nail polish Choices

Who doesn't like a good Autumnal nail? And since everyone is posting little nail selfies (nelfie? manfie? no idea.) I thought I'd join in with the selection I'll be reaching for this season and let's kick it off with some offerings from Ciate, which I spoke about here, in more detail. They're from the Haute House collection, and I think they're perfect for what's coming up, so my two main choices are Knee Highs and Can Can, a glorious deep navy blue and a perfect seasonal burgundy. These two selections are cute little mini's, something to keep in your makeup bag for a quick ten minute manicure, as when applied in thin layers, these dried very quickly and offered that pop of Autumn that I was looking for.

Next up, Butter London. Perhaps some of the most fancy polishes, and they're from a fabulous brand, with amazing packaging - they make my heart have a little flutter with their gloriousness. Two glitter, shimmer polishes and one classic colour, the colour I think of as quintessentially British. Lillibet's Jubilee, a soft lilac shimmer that ugh, looks brilliant on the nails - it's that kind of pastel that is the opposite of what I'd usually choose for Autumn, but it just spoke to me. Next up, is the black, chrome esc glitter named Gobsmacked which is amazing, it was basically all I wore last Winter - It looks quite at home on short and long nails, so no matter what you're rocking, this would look good. Now for British Racing Green, the colour that reminds me of old Jaguar cars and vintage movies. It's the kinda colour that would make red lipstick pop and give you that retro feel without a great deal of effort.

The offerings from Essie are wonderfully seasonal, Avenue Maintain, what I imagine to be a somewhat Parisian blue, a creamy colour that was brought out for Spring - but I've skipped that and fast forwarded two seasons. Stroke of Brilliance, a glitter polish from the Luxe Collection - hard to remove from the nail, like all glitter polishes, but totally worth it, you can read more about it here. Who doesn't love and adore a red glitter polish, especially that small glittery shimmer that gets you in the mood for the upcoming festive season? Enter Leading Lady

Honourable mentions for Autumn polishes are three choices from Revlon; two Spiderman releases, Spidey Sense and Super-powered (review fully here) and an offering from the scented nail enamel collection, called Moonlit Woods, another lilac offering - a sheer wash that is easing me into purples this season. Speaking of purples, next up is Vampsterdam by OPI, a deep shimmering plum that looks just right on the nails whenever you wear it. Three more choices are Rosy Rosettes by Maybelline, a gorgeous glitter that is basically Christmas nails in a glass bottle - absolutely gorgeous and as festive as you want - it's the perfect polish for an accent nail; and the last are two from Barry M, Gelly Hi-Shine in Lychee, that pale, shiny nude that leaves fingers looking longer and Crush from the Matte collection, a striking red that is an essential for this time of year - dark, but not so much as to feel too Wintery just yet.

What are your Autumanl nail choices? Any here that are taking your fancy?
