Favorite Fall Nail Polishes

During the fall, I mostly gravitate to dark plum and berry nail polishes with the occasional grey or bronze thrown in for variety.  It shouldn’t be a surprise by now that most of the shades I picked are Essie.  However, I do have a few non-Essie shades that have been long time favorites.

Bahama Mama
When the seasons change, this is one of the first polishes to enter my fall rotation.  It’s a dark plum shade that is deep without being too dark. 

Leggy Legend
This is actually a recent purchase to replace my aging Revlon polish in a similar bronze shade.  Unfortunately I can’t find it anymore so I decided to give this one a try.  Its a bit darker and I’m loving the shade.  Just looking at it makes me think of autumn evenings and the changing leaves.

Lincoln Park After Dark
I remember seeing this shade in a magazine years ago and I lusted after it for years until I finally had the money to justify (ie: no longer living on a student budget) purchasing it.  It’s a dark plum that comes off as a not so start alternative to black.

Fashion’s Finest
I used to steer clear of blue nail polish until last year.  Then out of nowhere all these gorgeous shades started popping up.  This was one that caught my eye.  It’s a sophisticated teal that I quickly fell in love with.

Lady Like
The name pretty much sums up this shade.  It’s a muted mauve that instantly makes you feel like a sophisticated lady.  It also has an emotional significance because it was the shade I wore on my first date with my current boyfriend.  From the moment he complimented me on how nice my nails looked I knew he was a keeper. 

Sheerling Darling
For the last few fall seasons I’ve been searching for the pefect dark red polish.  I think my search is finally over.  This is a stunning oxblood shade that has stolen my heart.  I’m already daydreaming about pairing it with my tan sweater and ridding boots. 

Angora Cardi
This is a rosey plum shade that is a perfect everyday shade.  While most of my fall picks I reserve for the weekends, this is one I think isn’t too bold for the office. 

Merino Cool
This is another shade that is perfect for everyday.  It’s a plummy grey that I like to wear when I want to add a bit of color while still looking polished for the office.  I’ve had variations of this shade in my collection for years but this is by far my favorite.
