After a summer of bright hues it's time to tone it down with warm deep shades and I for one am excited by this!
Autumn for me it a time for layering and comfort but also looking chic. This of course extends to the nails and though each year we get told what this year's 'trends' are, you really can't go wrong with deep berry shades, anything with a hint of copper and a neutral grey.

Here I have just that for you in the form of five inexpensive nail polishes that will take you right through until Winter. Hope you try a few of these out!
Sally Hansen Gilded Lily
£1.99 - Fragrance Direct here
This stunning glimmering shade from Sally Hansen is an all time favourite of mine for Autumn. With a subtle duo chrome this dazzles in the light both gold and copper hues. Though this does require a base colour or a few applications to get a good enough coverage this is well worth it, as it's truly autumnal.
NYC Red Melody
£1.79 - Superdrug here
For me NYC is the stand to visit for on-trend shades as at £1.79 they are such a bargain but also really great quality. Here I have the stunning Red Melody, a deep berry shade with a subtle shimmer. This is not only perfect for Autumn but also Winter and Christmas with a little glitter top coat to finish it off. What I also love about this nail polish is that it dries fast and doesn't require a top coat as it dries with a glossy finish.
Essence Gel Polish Amazed By You
£1.60 - Wiko
This is new shade for Essence and one I'm totally digging for the colder months; I can see myself wearing it often. Deep berry tones such as this one never go out of fashion and look great with any outfit. This is an impressive one-coater however both a base coat (it stains!) and top coat is needed. If you are near a Wilko store anytime soon their Autumn range is definitely worth checking out!
Models Own Grey Storm
£5.00 - Models Own website here or Boots
Another new shade here for Autumn with the Twilight collection. This is a lovely semi-deep grey that looks effortlessly chic on the nails and will go with pretty much everything. Although grey isn't everyones cup of tea I feel Autumn weather sometimes calls for it and it can look great against an autumnal outfit. I also highly rate the HyperGel formula - so glossy and long lasting.
Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Paprika
£3.99 - Boots here or Superdrug
Lastly another favourite that is just spot on for Autumn. You seriously can't go wrong with this shade! Along with a great shade that's only suits colder months the formula applies with ease and doesn't require a top coat as it dries to such a lovely gloss finish. Also worth looking at the entire Gelly Hi-Shine range as there are a few other great autumnal shades.
Hope this has given you a few idea for autumnal nails!
Let me know what shades you love to wear in Autumn.
