Top Three | Autumn Nail Polishes
Hey all! Time for another Top Three, this time with my favourite nail polish
shades for the season. I don’t know what it is about autumn, but it brings out
the vampyness in me, especially when it comes to the nails. I don’t always find
it easy to choose nail polish colours which are complimentary to my warm
skintone, some shade just look so off! These three however are my go-to, ride or die
shades, y’know the the ones which just look on point every single time? These are those..
1. Zoya Polish in Aubrey* | £11 | link
This is one of my favourite purple shades to wear all year around, but in the
autumn time I like to mix it up with a bit of gold detailing here and there. I
adore the shade Aubrey for some reason, maybe that it makes me start humming
hotling bling??, but this creamy mauvy-purple colour looks so beautiful against
a warm skintone! The formula of this is great, on par with O.P.I for sure and
with two coats I find it lasts well for at least 5 days with no chips or flaking
off.
2. Rimmel Lycra Pro in 425 My Denim | £2.49 | link
The only blue shade that I really like on my nails is this type of deep royal
blue. Again it looks so striking against olive skintones and makes a nice change
from my usual purples. I LOVE the ‘maxi’ brush from this line. When I first pulled it
out I thought it would be much too thick and messy to use, however it somehow
makes it easier to apply the polish?? It cover the whole nail efficiently and there are no bits to fill in afterwards, which is the case with smaller fiddly brushes.
3. Barry M Nail Paint in Berry Cosmo | £2.99 | Review
| link
Finally a gorgeous deep purple shade which can be built up and turned into a even darker purple with an extra coat. Berry Cosmo takes around two coats minimum to
get a nice opaque colour and without a topcoat it lasts a decent amount of time.
This colour is the most vampy of them all and looks stunning alone, but even
better paired with some nail accessories (I shall link you a throwback post
below!). The Barry M formulas are awesome for the budget price and you can
normally pick them up in a 3for2.
Those are my top three nail picks for
autumn! Do you have any favourites?
