Nail Glam: My Favorites for Fall

Hello all,
During the recent years I found that nail art has become one of the necessary items that complete your glam. Although I am not really any good at drawing whatsoever and for sure, not when it comes to nails specifically, I still LOVE all the different ranges of color out there. At one stage, my goal was just to collect nail polishes even if I rarely use them or at some cases, never even consider wearing them!
So anyhow, it is during this time of the year that I go for dark and bold colors. I'm not quite the adventurous person, so I must say that most of these colors are your typical stables for fall. What a step out of the cliches ha?



One thing you can never go wrong with during any season is your classic red. It is just timeless. And although there isn't anything wrong, to me at least, with a bright red nail polish, burgundies are mostly what I prefer during this time of the year. They look sophisticated, elegant and most importantly they suit all skin tones. So, my first favorite is the Dolce&Gabbana in Dahlia 160.

My second favorite was a gift from Alia. I know it's irrelevant but I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the packaging. This is Dior's Diva 901 and it was part of the holiday collection. It is a black with a fine golden shimmer. It doesn't really show much on your nails from a far, but up close you can notice the shimmer. This is out of stock nearly everywhere but I believe you can find something similar in essie, nailstation or OPI.

The next two are for those who don't want to go for a black but still want a really dark color. The first one is dark blue (Chanel - Blue Satin 461) and the next is a dark purple (Chanel - Vendetta 483). Both of them have subtle shimmer through them but it's hardly noticeable on the nails. The look black with a hint of blue or a hint of purple with two coats and they are all part of the permanent line so YAY for that!

The last color is a bit on the neutral side. It was a hit last year or maybe the year before, I'm not really sure. But whether it's still in or not, I love how unique this color is. It is not part of the permanent line unfortunately, but there are lots of dupes made by OPI and essie. It's kind of a mushroom color as most people describe it. If you don't want to go for this color, a light grey would be an excellent alternative.

Chanel - Particuliére 505

All five nail polishes I have mentioned are also great in terms of the formula and the color pay off. 

What's your favorite nail polish for fall? and which one of these 5 do you prefer?
Let me know in the comments.
