When September hits it's not only my lip colours that get darker. My nails join the party as well and I say goodbye to bright colours and welcome in the dark shades and more interesting neutral shades.
Gelly Hi Shine Polish in Almond: This is my ultimate neutral favourite. It has a bit of brown in it, a bit of grey and even a bit of blue. It is a brilliant dupe for Nails Inc's polish in Porchester Square. It's Gelly formula means it slightly thicker than other polishes but it means that it's opaque in one coat and has a high shine finish when it dries. One coat would work well but I'd advise two coats just to make sure there aren't any streaky patches.
Gelly Hi Shine Polish in Paprika: This is one of the more interesting shades I like to bring out during the autumn. It's almost a burnt orange colour which reminds me a lot of pumpkins. It's the same formula as Almond but needs two coats as it can be streaky. It has the same high shine finish and is harder to chip than some of the other Barry M formula's.
Speedy Quick Dry Polish in Pit Stop: This is more a blue toned grey shade which is thinner in formula than the others. Two coats is definitely needed to make this pop on the nails and appear opaque. This part of their Speedy Quick Dry range which comes with a square flat brush and rapid drying formula. It makes doing your nails so quick and because it's a rapid dry polish you don't have to worry too much about smudging whilst you wait for it to dry.
Sunset Daylight Curing Polish in Dark Side of The Shroom: This a play on the normal neutral nail. It's a grey toned purple shade that does have a brown undertone running through it. It has a thick formula which means you can get away with one coat. It comes with it's very own top coat which will cure the polish and make it harder, so essentially making it harder to chip. Plus once this is introduced to natural or artificial light it sticks to the nail better and bends with the nail as well.
Sunset Daylight Curing Polish in Vengenance is Wine: This is the darkest shade I'll pull out for Autumn. It's a deep red wine shade that can look purple in lights and even brown in others. It's another one that needs to be paired with it's special top coat and won't chip as easily as others. Two coats are definitely needed as this can be a little patchy or streaky after one coat. It makes a great alternative to black polish.
