I love the thought of wearing makeup and nail polish to suit the season. Autumn makes me think of oxblood red nail polish,chocolate brown eye shadows and deep berry lipstick yet lately I've been reaching for the most seasonally inappropriate polishes in my collection. I don;t know what it is but I've been craving bright pinks, sand browns and oranges, shades I would associate more with Spring than Autumn. I blame all the American youtubers I watch!
I decided to make a little post about it anyway because who said you have to stick to the rules?
First up is the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Rosy Outlook. This is a spring polish if I ever saw one, the most beautiful bright warm pink that looks simply gorgeous on the nails. I love the formula of this polish as it is quite chip resistant, as well as the wonderful flattened brush that makes it so easy to apply.
We then have a Face of Australia polish (let's face it, I can't get enough of FOA), in 'Would you like some orange sherbet?' Once again there is no denying this orange pastel is a spring colour through and through, but I've been wearing it a lot in these autumn days.
I then have an Essence polish that is the newest addition to my collection and I am completely addicted. The Nail art topper in 'Black Dress and white tie' is undeniably fascinating to look at and perhaps the coolest glitter/special effect polish I own.
Next is my very first Essie polish in a beautiful, ever so slightly shimmery skin tone beige shade called Mambo. This is the most flattering neutral I have ever stumbled across and would be perfect for office wear. For my first Essie polish I am thrilled!
I then have Rimmel Space Dust polish, one of the recent 'textured' polishes that have come out. This is pure silvery pink glitter and honestly, who could resist that?
Last but not least is a mini Essie polish in 'Meet me at sunset' a striking orange that demands your attention. When I wear this I cannot help but stare admiringly at my beautiful, bright nails.
So there you have it, the most inappropriate nail picks for autumn that I have been enjoying immensely over the past couple of weeks!
I'm with you on this! Sometimes I love a good seasonal trend but I've been rocking nudes & brights on my nails and bringing out the bright pink lippie too! I love the look of the Sallg Hansen Rosy Outlook polish, very springy indeed.

I just can't help it, I'm in the Spring mood! I was so lucky to win Rosy Outlook and it is just fabulous! x
DeleteI never wear seasonally appropriate polishes haha. Gimme a mint or pastel polish any day! I find that light colours look better on my nails anyway. I recently bought that Essence nail polish too, just based on how awesome it looks! Haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet though. Love the look of Mambo and Rosy Outlook!

I love light polishes too, although I've been really enjoying a dark red every now and again. The Essence polish is just so darn cool, I am so thrilled with it! x
DeleteGorgeous picks! I don't worry about seasons and whether or not my colours are appropriate! :)

It's more enjoyable to just go with whatever you feel like on the day! x
DeleteMambo is now a polish that I NEED! Luckily I live in the US,so this would be a pretty appropriate shade for the season :)
