Autumn Edit: Polishes

Hello! So I'm coming to you with a little Autumn-type series, and today's post is all about polishes! I loooove the autumn beauty colour palette, gorgeous deep reds and purples. I think there's something really dark about autumnal makeup, and I love it!

So I have a selection of polishes in different colours, these are my favourite colours to wear on my nails in the autumn!

Reds:

L-R: Barry M Red Wine, Nails inc Hampstead Heath, Nails inc Eaton Terrace.

 L-R: Barry M Red Balck, Nails in Savile Row.

Okay, so starting with reds, I don't tend to ever paint my nails a bright pillarbox red, I tend to go for these slightly more muted reds instead, I don't know, there's something about a more browny red, or a plummy red that I feel is a bit more autumnal! Red black by Barry M is my absolute all-time favourite nail polish, I lovelovelove it!! It's the perfect shade for me, it goes with everything, it looks so lovely on the nails, I can't get enough of it, and I love that it's in season!!

Purples:

L-R: Models Own Purple Rain and Purple Grey.
I love purpley shades, especially deep, dark purples like this, normally brands only do a couple of purples, usually a lilac and a bright purple, but models own seem to do a really nice variety of different purple shades, which is why both of mine are from there! Although I have seen a rather nice deep, rich purple in the new Barry M jelly shine range, look out boots...

Blues:

 L-R: Barry M Navy, Nails inc Tudor Way, Barry M Indigo.
I feel like navy is a real classic when it comes to nail polish, for me it really oozes style and class. My absolute favourite navy is this Barry M polish, it doesn't have a name on the bottom of the bottle, but it's just the navy shade that they do. Again, I've also seen that they do a really nice navy shade in the jelly shine collection too! And I think navy is a really lovely colour for autumn too, with all the different colours going on in the season it's a nice toned down colour that means you can wear all the colour you want in your outfit without being too over the top.

Greens:

L-R: Barry M Racing Green, Nails inc (unknown), Models Own Grace Green.
There are two types of green I like to wear in the autumn: teal and khaki. Khaki is such a big colour this season, it's absolutely everywhere, so obviously you need a khaki nail polish! I think teal is such a beautiful colour too, it's so rich! I have this slightly shimmery one my Barry M, and then the Nails inc one is an opaque shade that I got free in an In Style magazine I think about this time last year, the name has fallen off so I'm not sure what the shade is called!

Blacks:

L-R: Barry M Black, E.L.F Metal Madness, Topshop Sketch.
Surprisingly this is the only Topshop polish I own! I absolutely love all the colours they do, I've nearly gone crazy on them on more than one occasion, but for some reason I've managed to stay quite restrained? Anyway, I love this charcoal colour, all these colours are really simple, they go with absolutely everything and always look effortlessly cool!

So there we have it! My ever-growing collection of autumn nail polishes, I have my eye on a few colours from the new Essie range, and as we've just established, the Barry M jelly shine range too!

What are your favourite shades of nail polish to wear in the autumn? Are there any that I need to add to my collection?
