Neutrals & Taupes
Chanel Frenzy, OPI Wooden Shoe Like To Know, Essie Don't Sweater It, Chanel Particuliere |
Chanel Frenzy - Beautiful creamy light taupe with hints of warmth that looks great with my olive skin tone. This was released as part of the Chanel Fall 2012 collection. It seems like Chanel have improved their formula. This nail polish will last a good 6 days with no chipping (with a top coat!).
OPI Wooden Shoe Like To Know - This shade was released with the Holland collection for spring/summer. My sister picked up this gorgeous nail polish in Copenhagen. I honestly think that this beautiful brown shade with gold shimmer is a great warm toned alternative for fall/winter and would not be my pick for spring or summer.
Essie Don't Sweater It - This shade was released with the latest Stylenomics Collection. Even though it's limited edition, this beautiful dark taupe is quite dupable. OPI's You don't know Jacques is a very close dupe. Don't let the colour in the bottle fool you, on the nails it applies quite dark.
Chanel Particuliere - This shade is slightly lighter on the nails than Essie's Don't sweater it, but has been a staple since I bought it a couple of years ago. It's the perfect mid-tone taupe, that I dare to wear all year round!
Deep Colours
Sephora Amethyst Stiletto, Orly Androgynie, Catrice Caught on the red carpet |
Sephora Amethyst Stiletto - This is another shade that my sister picked up at Sephora in Copenhagen. It's a pretty shimmery purple colour, that's perfect for the season.
Orly Androgynie - Galaxy nails anyone? Androgynie was released with last year's holiday collection. I picked up this shade during my travels and can't wait to wear it around holiday season or as an accent nail. I don't own anything similar to this in my collection. It is a black nail polish with beautiful multi coloured glitters and particals of different sizes in it.
Catrice Caught on the red carpet - Fall/Winter must have No 1? A classy rich red nail polish! This one is by Catrice, but many brands have similar shades. On the nails this particular colour applies darker and slightly cooler.
What are your favourite nail polish picks for the colder seasons?
Love,
Maya
what beautiful colours! I like greens and dark reds, for the Christmas spirit :) xxx
ReplyDeleteGreens would be nice too. Haven't found the perfect green shade yet tho. xx
DeleteGreat post! I've been loving neutral nail polishes for fall (a first for me, as I usually go for deep or bright shades). My favourite at the moment is O.P.I. Don't Pretzel my Buttons :)

I also love muted pinks...all year around! Wouldn't Shoe Like to know looks like a really nice warm brown. xx
DeleteI love taupe nail colours, although slightly more brown Mushroom by Models Own is cute and Mushroom by Barry M is a perfect cheaper dupe of that!

Models Own has great shades! Wish I could get my hands on them here. xx
DeleteGreat picks Maya. How do i not own Particuliere???
ReplyDeleteMy fave fall polishes are dark berry and purple shades, as well as taupes and blood reds and u can never go wrong with black
Saadeh, you do need Particuliere in your nail polish collection (altho it's probably quite dupable too). xx
Deletelove the light brown colors :D
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous. I would love to find a nice camel shade, but I haven't been lucky yet.
DeleteI love the look of Chanel Frenzy and Orly Androgynie! So far I've been going for brights and glitters! xx
ReplyDeleteI haven't work brights in weeks! Glitters I <3. xx
DeleteI love Neutrals & Taupes on my nails, the Chanel nail polish looks so pretty. xo
ReplyDeleteIf you can still get Frenzy, I would definitely recommend checking it out. xx
DeleteI love the essie colour! Shame its limited edition, hopefully I'll be able to find a similar one as you say! xx
ReplyDeleteYou should be able to find a shade similar to it, I am sure! xx

Great blog! I love nail polish, I'm currently looking for the perfect neutral nude. Essie's Stylenomics range looked amazing and I was really into the green shade but when I went back to buy it there weren't any left! Definitely gonna try and hunt for it :) x
ReplyDeleteI like the natural colors you have, lately I'm a huge fan of malt!
ReplyDeleteI'd really like to try that glittery Orly one, it's all about glitter polish for me!
