weather has finally turned *not melty* and i am in the mood to celebrate. here are my fav autum nail polish picks: pairs well pumpkin spice anything (if you a basic b) and endless yard work. lets get fall! "i'm soar-t of a big deal" glitter daze 😇 lets start with a pale grey creme that goes on like butter: this looks good on my sho-ty nails, but will look awesome on your michelle pfeiffer style long nails. by-the-way, i saw "scarface" for the first time last night: overrated. m-pfeif's nails were the best thing about it! the violence was b-movie grindhouse level (even for the era), and pacino's accent was downright offensive. the other cubans in the movie spoke like human-beings: pacino overused his whole mouth like an idiot. i didn't even get to say hello to his little friend, cuz i was o'er it. Oh ... de palma. sigh. anywho, this grey polish is beautiful. "cursed" by blackheart beauty 😇 i love a good black, and if you have read my past blogs, you know this my all time fav. good to go in a single coat, shiny as hell, and this packaging is perfect for october! this polish makes me want to go goth-tactic and wear that black cape I've got in my closet. spooky-sexy. "call of the wild" china glaze 😇 this deep warm brown is perfect for autumn. looks terrific on short nails (as photographed above). this color makes me want to rake up leaves and turn away trick-or-treaters who come the Saturday before Halloween 👻 (that is not how it works, kid!). from the 2012 china glaze fall collection, this polish is on many fall polish pick-lists and for good reason: great formula, terrific color. i have recently seen several of these polishes at tj maxx, so I think it is still readily available. "style cartel" essie 👿 straight from my #swatchbucket, this navy dream is a pleasure to apply. it is ever-so-slightly jelly on the first coat, and gets completely opaque on the second. so classy: i feel like a grownup when I wear it. I'm gonna get my car waxed and pay my taxes on time! Looking for a 😇🐰 dupe? I have heard orly's "midnight show" 😇 is a great substitute. "lavender" sinful colors 👿 this purply grey creme makes me want to wear angora, from head to toe. cozy and feminine. despite this being a discount line, this formula is amazing. one-coat wonder and beautiful for fall weather and fashion. check out zoya.com for similar purple/grey hues that are 😇. "hunter" zoya 😇 or "british racing green" butter london 😇 these two dark green creme polishes are not exact dupes, but they are quite similar. I included them both, as now "brg" maybe difficult to track down, and zoya's "hunter" is always available at zoya.com. you've heard me sing the praises of these polish in previous blogs, so I won't bore you: great formulas, great fall colors! "makeup to breakup" orly 😇
i've just reviewed this deep teal in my last blog. this creme is deep and rich and goes on near perfectly. so dark and stormy, it makes me want to sing sea-shanties and eat octopus 🐙. argh. you may notice, I recommend no reds (or no true reds). classic reds are good anytime of the year. same with neutrals and whites! the above polishes are the ones i am esspecially drawn to this time of year! what are your fav fall polishes? please leave me a comment. thanks for reading!
