My Autumn Colour Picks (and some floral nail art *quel suprise*)
O.P.I - Casino Royale - This gorgeous plum creme was a part of O.P.I's James Bond collection. I eyed this shade up as soon as the collection was announced and I got it for Christmas. It was a staple of mine during the winter and it will be again, you can do no wrong with such a great plum colour.
Essie - Buy Me a Cameo - Autumn/Winter is the season for metallics and I think this light copper/bronze shade is a great alternative to the traditional silver or gold.
Models Own - Golden Green - This iridescent shade is a part of the Beetlejuice collection from Models Own. I originally bought it thinking it might be a great (and cheaper) alternative to Chanel Peridot (this was before the O.P.I dupe came out). I soon realised it was too green to be a dupe but I still love the shade. A great metallic and opaque, the colour looks so different in various lighting conditions.
O.P.I - Don't Talk Bach to Me - This chartreuse shade was a part of O.P.I's Germany collection from 2012 and much like Casino Royale, it was a shade that immediately caught my eye but I didn't get my hands on it until a few months ago. It has a slight silver shimmer to it which I didn't notice until I got the bottle in the post but it does lift the polish slightly.
Avon Speed Dry - Fast Time Teal - This teal from Avon is a great transition shade from Summer to Autumn if you are a fan of turquoise like I am. Slightly darker in tone, it's appropriate for the darker months without being too dour.
Models Own Pro - Blackcurrant - I love this shade. It's a dark, almost purple/black that creates a great base for nail art without having to reach for black. You can still buy Models Own Pro from the Boots website.
Barry M - Dusty Mauve - This purple-grey has a purple iridescence that I think is perfect for the coming months and adds a little pizzazz to a darker nude nail.
Nails Inc - New Compton Street - I can't go too long without reaching for a pastel! This pink is more of a dusty pink rather than a baby pink so I think it's a bit more appropriate for the autumn.
And here's some nail art featuring Fast Time Teal and New Compton Street
