Nails: Top 5 Autumn / Fall Polishes 2024

As autumn arrives today I thought I would share my top five autumn / fall nail polishes. Polishes I plan on wearing as autumn rolls in.

I have done similar posts in 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013.

Orly Act of Folly // Orly Rustic Root // OPI Dutch Ya Just Love OPI // Rimmel Blue Sea Star // Fancy Gloss Magma

Orly Act of Folly is a grungy moss green, a colour which to me seems very autumnal. It was also part of Orly's autumn release last year.

Orly Rustic Root is a brick red another colour which is autumnal like one of the colours leaves turn. Again this was from autumn this year's autumn Orly release.

OPI Dutch Ya Just Love OPI this is a plum purple shade with a subtle golden shimmer. I think it was part of the summer 2012 Holland collection, but I think its more autumnal.

Rimmel Blue Sea Star is a dusty blue cream, during autumn the nights get longer and this reminds me of that. I don't know when this was released.

 

Fancy Gloss Magma is a flakie topper, the flakes are multichrome going from yellow to orange to red again very much like the leaves at this time of year.

Nail Polish Battle 2019: Winner!

So the time has finally arrived for me to choose my favourite nail polish from the ones I got during 2019.

We left off with my top three;

Essie - Angora Cardi | Rimmel - Blue Sea Star | A England - Goth

First I cut Angora Cardi from the three, because pink is my least favourite of the three colours.

Finally I cut Blue Sea Star from the two because while it is unique to my collection, it is a cream finish and I prefer holographic. Which of course leaves Goth as my winner for 2019;

A England have won my nail polish battle now for three years running. Goth is a beautiful deep aubergine, holographic polish. The formula is opaque in one coat and the brush is flat, wide and rounded at the cuticle which is my favourite type. The shade is deep but it still is noticeably not black.
