I am particularly drawn to dark red,grey,and green creme polishes and glittery purples and blues. I am not one to restrict myself to certain colors depending on the season, but wearing these colors makes me feel…right. haha.

Orly Galaxy Girl, MAC Jade Dragon and Earthly Harmony.

Special Mention to Orly It’s Not Rocket Science and Retro Red, which have been my Indian Summer colors.

So far I have bought only 4 Orly Cosmic FX polishes for this fall. Glitter’s back after all those countless cremes! Next week I’m going to get the Bad Fairy. Christine, are the rest of the VV polishes really 100% Orly dupes?

i dont own it yet but im planning to wear Chanel’s Khaki vert all fall! im not really into the military trend so buying a military-esque nail polish is like my way of working it into my fall wardrobe 🙂

My #1 favorite polish to wear in the Fall is, without a doubt, China Glaze’s Awakening. It’s a very unique polish that is perfect for this time of the year, in my opinion.

Other than that, I like to wear deep red, burgundy, plum, or taupe polishes during the Fall.

Do love Chanel’s Particuliere and Paradoxal, but I’m afraid Chanel’s quality is shamefully poor. My mani should last more than 2 days, after all, no matter how busy I am! So that’s why I stick to the glorious Essie. Lasts nearly a week (not affiliated by the way).

So now I’m wearing Chinchilly . Am also loving Sew Psyched and Chocolate Kisses.

Since I pre-ordered all the new fall Rescue Beauty Lounge colors and got them all on Monday (yippee!!), I put on “Catherine” as a pedicure this morning and I love it! It’s a dusty deep purple shimmer. Holy stunning!

So far it’s Essie’s Velvet Voyeur (fall collection, deep blackened plum) and Orly Galaxy Girl (fall Cosmic FX collection)! Oh, and my go to for fall and winter, OPI’s My Private Jet!

China Glaze – Fortune Teller; dark brown/black base with tons of orange glitter…SO “Halloween”. Lasts forever without chipping, but takes a million cotton balls to remove! haha

Right now I am loving Wool You Marry Me, by Barielle, a gorgeous brownish plum. But I change my polish all the time, yes, I’m addicted to the stuff!

Chanel Jade Rose, or Roug eFatal (thankyou SO muc for itnroducing me to this amazing shade, waiting for it to come to Angleterre!) or maybe jsut a cherry red (there are too many to list).

OPI sanguine …. love the colour and the name. (Sang is French for blood) I like to get in the Halloween spirit early, it’ll always be my favourite holiday!

Haven’t decided yet but I’m about to go through Essie’s, OPI’s and CG’s fall collections. Mummy May I looks promising, as do Sew Psyched, Riveter Rouge and Just a Little Rösti At This. No definite winner yet.

I like any black red/burgundy, black, or grey/brownish/taupe-y colors like the ones by OPI such as You don’t know Jacques. But I’d love to look at the Khaki de Chanel ones because they are the most different looking polishes that Chanel has ever done after the Jade one from last year; the Khaki ones are all murky and beautiful.

But Nars nail polishes always have some of the best colors I’ve ever seen and some of their colors somehow look so different from other brands out there. I like the Nars MASH and Zulu polishes that I saw recently and I also love Orgasm, Bohemia, and Arabesque (?). But MASH is a lovely metallic olive/khaki green that looks unique in the bottle for some reason, and the color looks army-ish so hence the name I guess.

Lippmann Collection Maneater – so rich and gorgeous, it’s the epitome of autumn

Lippmann Collection No More Drama – a neutral shade that you definitely wouldn’t think would look perfect on your nails
