The nights are growing darker, the weather has turned colder (hella cold) and Christmas adverts are appearing everywhere. It can only mean one thing: Winter is here. So it's time to say goodbye to bright nail shades and hello to deeper tones and pretty neutrals.
Classic Nail Paint in Nightshade: If you like the look of black nails but aren't confident in wearing them then give Nightshade a try. It has a navy undertone to it that changes to black when reflected in the light. This is one of their classic nail paints so will need a good two coats to make sure it's completely opaque. They take a little longer to dry but once it's dry you'll have a nice shine finish that'll only intensify once you add a top coat.
Gelly Hi Shine Polish in Cocoa: This is my favourite alternate shade to black nails. This stunning deep brown shade not only makes a more interesting manicure shade but is also the perfect autumnal neutral shade. You can get away with one coat of this polish but I'd advise two to really get that depth of colour. It dries down to a very high shine finish but as always I'd advise using a top coat over the top to prolong the length of your manicure.
Gelly Hi Shine Polish in Cardamom: This shade screams Christmas to me. It's that really deep forest green that looks a lot like Christmas Trees. It's also part of the Gelly Hi Shine range so once it dries you'll have a bright shine finish that'll only get better with the aid of a top coat. Two coats is recommended to really make these pop when they're on the nail. This colour would be brilliant for anyone who is thinking of trying their hand at nail art this festive season.
Coconut Infusion Polish in Storm: If any of the shades that have already been shown don't appeal to you then maybe this neutral grey shade from Barry M's Coconut Infusion Range will. Storm is a deep grey shade that'll stand out on the nail whilst also looking understated and minimal. It's a nice alternative to all the neutral brown shades that Barry M and other brands do. One coat of this is enough to give a perfect opaque finish but if you'd prefer to do another coat then you can. These polishes are infused with coconut oil and coconut water so they nourish and condition your nails as you wear them.
Coconut Infusion Polish in Island Fever: This is my Christmas red this year. It's that deep festive looking red that just screams Christmas. It's reminds me a lot of a blue toned red lipstick and really pops on the nails. Two coats of this really gives it that little bit of va va voom and once a top coat is applied there is a brilliant shine that doesn't die down the longer you wear it. This is another brilliant colour for any festive nail art you may do and I personally plan on wearing this for the entire month of December.
