My Winter Nail Polish Picks 2012

It's time for another seasonal nail polish pick post, yay! And what better way to start Christmas month than with a nail polish post:)

Essie Berry Hard, Chanel Rouge Noir, Essie Bahama Mama.

My first favourite colour theme to wear in this winter  are plummy-purple-reds. The 3 that I know I will be wearing frequently are Essie Berry Hard, Chanel Rouge Noir and Essie Bahama Mama.

Essie Stylenomics, Revlon Rainforest.

I love greens anytime of year but the 2 above are super pretty for winter. Essie Stylenomics is a very dark, blackened green. Revlon Rainforest is a shimmer forest green.

Revlon Royal, Chanel Blue Satin, Dior Glacier.

Next up is some blues. Revlon Royal is my current favourite blue of that shade. I have a number of bright, rich blues in my collection but this is the current favourite. Chanel Blue satin is the ultimate, deep, nearly liquid navy blue. And of course the blues wouldn't be complete without an icy blue for winter. Dior Glacier is the perfect icy blue.

Chanel Noir Ceramic, Chanel Vendetta.

The final 2 polishes I've chosen are Chanel Noir Ceramic, which is a lightened black with subtle shimmer. Chanel Vendetta is a beautiful deep jewel-toned purple.

What polishes will be adorning your nails this winter?

My Autumn 2012 Nail Polish Picks

It's so hard to believe that it's Autumn again and time for my nail polish picks of the season! I decided to do Autumn and Winter separately this year unlike last year. 

I love Autumn. Early Autumn, late Autumn, turning into winter Autumn. The months September to December rock.

I've chosen 8 polishes that I plan to wear quite a lot over the next few months. (As always, I wear any colour polishes at any time of year but I'm still naturally drawn to seasonal colours).

This year's oranges are China Glaze's Riveting and Kiko 112. Riveting is unbelievable. The ultimate Halloween polish.

The greens are China Glaze Peace on Earth, one of my favourites greens (it was in last year's picks as well!) and a new Essie polish in Stylenomics. It's a deep, murky green, much darker than the photo is showing it to be.

What would an Autumn polish pick be without a brown. This year's choice is Chanel's Particulére. The ultimate, classy brown. Also in the photo is Orly's Rage. Even though it's a rose-gold kind of shade it just feels perfect to include.

And finally some vampy purples. OPI's Vampsterdam and No7's Blackberry are 2 that I cannot wait to keep on wearing.

What shades are you most drawn to this time of year?
