Nail colour for autumnal palette

9 replies

ShineTogether · 18/02/2022 10:37

I have autumnal colouring. The only nail polish I seem to find flattering against my pale (slightly purple undertone) skin is various shades of burgundy. Getting a bit bored of it. Others shades seem to emphasise the purplish shade in my skin or make my hands look pale, ill, or like a zombie.

Any other autumnal palette folks found alternatives to burgundy nail polish?

My other 2 staples besides burgundy are a sort of deep taupe-y grey colour and a very neutral nude colour which I have either plain or with a gold glitter for "occasions".
I think you have to get a touch of warmth in the colour or your hands look dead

I just bought some nice ones from Barry M - rust, terra cotta, brown.

I've struggled to find a nude that works. Can you tell me which brand and shade please?

I like metalics, gold and bronze sometimes silver but I think this is not really an autumn colour. I've also got a nice deep teal colour and like a dark aubagine purple too.

Wilko do a make up range called essence which do brilliant nail polishes in lovely autumnal shades and nudes too all for amazing prices none over £2 I have just about every colour and they do glitter ones for over the top to mix it up a bit

A 'pearl' white varnish might look good

Teal might work...
I wanted black but maybe I'll look for a v dark plum or aubergine

I like black but my nails are always very short (because I can't stop biting them) and it does look like I've hit them with a hammer :/

The teal one I have is Nails INC.
