Hello lovelies, today i thought i would do a post to show you my favorite Autumn nail polishes.
To me when i think of Autumn colours i think of deep reds and purples, burgundy, gorgeous teals and other rich shades, mixed up with a few nudes. Thats not to say when Autumn hits i suddenly discard the bright neon's and pastels i wear throughout the summer months, i just find these are the colours i find myself reaching for.

Rimmel 193 Black Cherries-
This is just my perfect Autumn purple, its a deep rich shade with a very subtle shimmer when it catches the light.

BarryM 313 Dusky Mauve-
This is a really interesting colour it looks different colours in different lights. Sometimes grey, sometimes mauve, with a subtle purple shimmer.

Rimmel 402 Urban Purple-
I love this colour, its a gorgeous raspberry colour, the formulation of this polish is also great, it covers really well giving a great shinny finish.

No7 115 Totally Teal-
This really is the ultimate Autumn shade, every year teal seems to be everywhere come Autumn time. This is a lovely shade and it also a great formula.

Nails Inc 041 Jermyn street-
This is my favorite nude polish, i always get compliments when i wear it. Its great because its not too dark or too light and it goes with whatever outfit of makeup your wearing.

Rimmel 200 Princess Pink-
This is a really pale pink, its not too pink that it would clash with red clothing its very neutral and just a very pretty natural colour.

Nails Inc 388 Victoria-
When it comes to Autumn i love the really dark vampy reds and this one definitely fits the bill,  its such a lovely deep wine red colour, with a great glossy finish.

So thats my top Autumn nail polishes, what are your top nail polishes for Autumn?

Ombre Nails Tutorial!

Hello lovely's i've got a nail tutorial to share with you today. The ombre trend has been massive this year in the beauty world ombre nails, lips and even hair. I thought it was about time i had a go at it for myself. I no its Autumn now and i've used quiet summery colours, but as i'm jetting off on holiday on tuesday i wanted my holidays nails to be bright and fun. The great thing about ombre nails is that it will look great whatever colours you use so if you want a more seasonal take on this tutorial you could use red, orange and yellow for a autumnal leaf look. 

What i used-

Base- BarryM, Matt White,

Colours- BarryM, Papaya, Prickly Pear, Dragon,

Top Coat- Nails Inc Kensington Caviar. 

Makeup sponge. 

Step one- 

Using a white base will help make the colours you add on top really stand out, apply two coats for an even base. 

Step Two-

Cut the make up sponge to a smaller square shape to make it easier to use. 

Paint your nail colours onto the sponge in stripes. I chose to use three different colours but you could use two or even four if you wanted. 

Step Three-

Line the sponge up with your first nail and dab it across until the whole nail is covered, re-apply some more nail polish and repeat on each nail. 

Step Four- 

Allow the nails to dry, and then go over all the nails in the same way again with a second coat. 

I only did the two coats of colour but depending on how dark you want it you could do three. 

Step Five-

While your waiting for the second coat to dry, clean up the excess polish from around the nails the best thing for this is a cotton bud dipped in nail varnish remover. To finish apply a topcoat to seal it all together. 

 I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! What colours would you use?
