Fall Nail Polish

Favorites in my Collection

I adore fall, even if it is toward the ending of a year fall always seems to be a great fresh start. I love the crunchy colorful leaves, the incredible sweater weather, the delicious lattes, pumpkin carving, the amazing candles (okay so I might have a candle problem...), but really what's not to love about fall? As I am obsessed with this lovely season and all the glorious things it brings, I of course have my staple fall nail colors that I look forward to wearing all fall long. I picked my 6 favorites to share with you from my own collection of nail polish and I can't say for certain that all are available in stores anymore, but there are always similar dupes you can find. 
As you can see, I have a mix of colors which I did on purpose because fall is the time to have dark nails but sometimes it's nice to add in a little bit of light into the lives of our nails. The links to purchase all the nail polish colors will be below with their details, but you can find many of these at a variety of stores! 
From left to right:
OPI Boris and Natasha - This is a gorgeous plum polish that isn't too dark. This polish compliments my skin allowing me to go dark for fall without drowning me out to the point where I look like a ghost (if you're fair skinned, you know what I'm talking about!)
Essie Sand Tropez - This perfect neutral is subtle and elegant. It gives you a touch of glam without being too pushy or adventurous, perfect for a professional setting. 
Red Polish - This is an older polish from Ulta that unfortunately is not made anymore which is why I do not have a link for you. It's a deep crimson that gives you a spicy sensuous nail. I did find a dupe of this nail color!
Essie Chinchilly - A light charcoal polish that creates a sleek and edgy look. This is also a great color for a professional setting with a little more oomph to it. 
OPI On the same Paige - Orange nails can be very difficult to wear, you can definitely go too bright and end up looking like you're 10 again which isn't ideal for most. This is my only orange nail polish and I love it because it's a burnt orange and it can still give me that pop of color I crave without looking like I have pumpkins on my fingers. 
Essie Turquoise and Caicos - I'm going to be honest and tell you that when I first got this color (I ordered online) I did not like it. I bought it in the spring and decided to wear it but hated how it looked and didn't really go back to it until two weeks ago. After giving it another shot, I discovered why I hated it last spring...it's a fall color. I thought from the photos it would be perfect for spring but it turns out it really compliments the season of fall. It's a beautiful darker turquoise with a green undertone which makes the polish a bit too dark for spring. The lesson here? Try out your colors in different seasons, you may end up falling in love with them!

Let me know if you try these polishes, I'd love to know what you think! What are your fall favorite polishes?

Thanks for reading!
