Favorite Fall Polishes Fall make up and nail polish hues enthrall me. I adore the dark and vampy colors rich with bordeaux, mushrooms, and velvety purples. These five nail polishes get put on repeat during the autumn months and sometimes well into winter. Left to Right:

Rescue Beauty Lounge: Killa Red is a chameleon red. Depending upon the lighting and number of coats it can range from fresh spilt, bright red blood to a deep dark dried oxblood. I prefer two coats for this heavily pigmented red. A stunning creme/jelly hybrid. I think young folks call it a crelly?

Nails Inc.: Foubert's Place is my "goes with anything" mushroom taupe. Highly pigmented and creamy. One of my favorite edgy neutrals.

Tom Ford: Bitter (Not Nice Word) despite the horrid name I bought it. And enjoy it. Bitter comes off as a red based chocolate creme. For being so ding dang expensive it certainly does not have the best formula (as you can see from the swatches, each polish was given one swipe of the brush and BB is quite watery). It can be streaky and needs 2-3 coats depending on my painting abilities on a given day. Why is it still in my top 5 Fall? I love the color. I really do not have anything close to it in my collection.

Rescue Beauty Lounge: Catherine was one of my favorite queens of Henry the VIII and this polish is just as beautiful. Silvery antique royal purple with glimmering shimmer. Pigmented 1-2 coater. RBL may be on the expensive side, but the quality shows. Excellent application and unique sophisticated colors.

Savvy: Red Caviar is a cheapie from Sally Beauty Supply but I adore it. The vamped up purple/red applies wonderfully. Admittedly, it does appear black after two coats, to the non trained polish eye, but polishaholics can tell that is more of a blacked out bourdeax.
