Top 5 Thursday - Autumn Nail Varnishes

 

 

 

 

I'm back again with a Top 5 Thursday post which is going to be a monthly thing. Last month I did my Top 5 perfumes and today I am going to tell you about my top 5 Autumn Nail Varnishes. When I think of autumn I think of burgundies, purple, reds and dark colours. I think my choice of nail varnishes really represents these autumnal vibes!

Bourjois So Lacquer in 24 'Rouge Escarpin'

If you're looking for a very sophisticated red then this is the one to go for. It applies very easily and smooth and you really only need one coat because it's so opaque. I think the quality of this nail varnish is great and it dries quickly to a gloss.

Essie Leading Lady

Glitters are perfect for the Christmas season and this gorgeous Essie nail varnish in the shade leading Lady is perfect for the festive season. It's a dark red plum colour with red glitters and I think this could look stunning on all the nails or as an accent nail. As usual for Essies, this nail varnish is great quality and needs about 2 coats but the results afterwards are lovely on the nails.

O.P.I Silver Shatter

This nail varnish is a top coat and has the crack/shatter effect similar to Barry am crocodile nails if you've ever tried that. It looks lovely on top of a bright red or simply white. I think the silver gives it a very winters feel which is why I think it's great for autumn. Only one coat is needed.

O.P.I Magazine Cover Mouse - Minnie Mouse Collection

I got this nail varnish in a set of 4 from the Minnie Mouse Collection, I feel like this nail varnish has the most festive feeling about it, I think its the gold sparkles in the red. This applies really nicely and only needs 1-2 coats. It is one of the O.P.I liquid sands so it has a sandy, gritty texture but looks great!

The last nail varnish doesn't have a name so I am unsure about the brand and shade; but it came in a set and I got it as a gift so I don't know where its from. But I think the colour is very autumnal, plums and berries are always on trend in autumn so if you can find a shade similar then please tell me!

There you have it, all my top 5 autumn nail varnishes, I don't have many autumnal shades as I have more of the bright spring and summer shades :( But thank you for reading and have a nice day, bye!

 

Nail Wheel

Hey beauties! So today I have a really random blog post but I thought I'd show you my nail wheel. This nail wheel came with a nail varnish from Ciaté and it comes with 20 plastic nail shapes to paint. I decided to not paint it in order of colour but in brand. So I used a Ciaté nail varnish, O.P.I, Essie and Barry M. I am really happy with how this turned out and I will definitely be buying some more nail wheels in the future. Here are some pictures of the nail wheel.

The first colour is my Ciaté one and then the next four O.P.I's which have pinky colours are from the Couture de Minnie collection which is a Minnie Mouse collection. The next four O.P.I's are from the Rock Goddess collection. I then have my Essies and after that are my Barry Ms. Also the glittery Barry Ms didn't have a name and they just said Boots/Superdrug Limited Edition on the bottom.
