My top Four Favorite Nail Polish brands

Hello everyone! 

As you may know by now, I am obsessed and I mean OBSESSED with nail polishes. I recently wrote a post about OPI Alice through the looking glass collection where I touched upon my love for nail polishes. Writing that post made me think about my unnecessarily

large collection ((of polishes)), this oversized collection currently features 7 brands. Throughout many years I have tried many brands and wanted to share with you today my current top four favourite brands. 

OPI

OPI is a new found love for me. When my mother introduced my to the brand, I fell in love with the formula, the colour lacquer creates a gloss finish without even adding a top coat. The OPI formula also lasted a really long time which is perfect! 

Ciaté

When looking for glitter and sparkle I turn to Ciaté. They have the best collection of nail glitter, sequins and caviar in every colour you can think of. Their annual advent calendar features all the glitz and glam a girl could ask for, I seriously can't wait to see what this year's calendar looks like. 

L'Oreal

The cheapest brand in my top four, L'Oreal which is priced at £4.99 has upped their game this year with their polishes. The colours and tones featured in their collection reminds me of Essie's colours and at almost half the price you can buy twice as much! 

Essie 

I always used to treat myself to an Essie nail polish at the end of a University term or after a large deadline. The variety of colours made choosing one so hard. I am also loving their top coat at the moment, its formula adds longevity and shine to a manicure. 

So as you can see I LOVE my nail polishes and always on the look out to try more, so if any of you know of any brands that you love and think I should try comment below as I feel 86 isn't enough polishes for one collection haha! 

See you Sunday,

CHANGING OF SEASONS: Autumn Nails

For the first post of this month's theme: Changing of Seasons, we're gonna be talking about all our favourite nail polishes for Autumn (or Fall, depending on where you're from!) that will compliment your transitional wardrobe for the colder months ahead.

 K's Favourites  

Being a fan of neutrals - I like to keep my nails low-key for day-to-day. Autumn is time for me to bring out those darker colours that are simple, make your look polished and will go with pretty much everything.  Here are my favourites for the upcoming season: can you tell I'm a huge Essie fan?

,,,,

1.  Essie - Chinchilly
This is the perfect mix of grey tinted with a little heather purple: it goes with everything! I love to use this on my toes, too.

2.  Rimmel Salon Pro - Soul Session

The Salon Pro by Kate polishes have such a great formula - this varnish doesn't chip for days. The colour is a dusky pink, like your natural nails but better! 

3.  Essie - Island Hopping

 Island Hopping is a great colour all year, but I especially love it at this time, as it's still colourful, but muted as a gorgeous plum & mauve mix. 

4.  Essie - Sew Psyched

Sew Psyched will be a popular colour this season, as burgundy comes back into play for Autumn/Winter. This khaki green has a little shimmer in it, which shines beautifully in the sun.

S' Favourites
I adore adding a pop of colour to my look through my nails. For me, the Autumn and Winter months are the perfect time to don those darker shades yet still keeping colours bold. These polishes are perfect for both day and night and will go with everything - whether you're matching your nails to your outfit or just adding colour to your style.

1.  OPI - Amazon...Amazoff

I'm loving this shade of green this season. Clean and crisp, this bottle green-esque shade screams Autumn to me. OPI are one of my favourite nail brands, with great colour pigment and formula.

2.  Topshop - Wardrobe
A new colour for myself, 'Wardrobe' is a mixture of grey and blue creating the perfect most subtle look for me.

3.  Essie - In The Lobby
This plum colour is a firm favourite of mine. One of the most popular nail colours last Winter, this rich Essie shade is sure to be as popular this year.

4.  NailsInc - Prince Arthur Road Nailpure
For weeks I've seen this royal blue polish circling around online. I was never a fan of dark blue nail colours but this year it's the colour I'm most excited about trying. This NailsInc shade is the perfect colour blue - just what I've been looking for.

If you haven't already noticed, we love nail varnishes and with S owning over 50 (!) we've had so much fun sorting through our collections putting this post together for you. We hope this has got you excited for new season nails!
