My Top 5 Winter Nail Picks

Hey everyone!
Today I thought it might be nice to share the nail polishes I think I've worn, and will be wearing, the most over the winter season. This time of year, I get into deep blues, dark reds, and Christmassy glitters.

Illamasqua Propaganda may be discontinued, but if you can get ahold of it, it's a shiny, deep Prussian blue. Essie Dive Bar (£7.99) is a dark, blackened duochrome shimmer that dries shiny and smooth with flashes of teal. Essie Solemate (£7.99) is a creamy, darkened plum. Revlon's Facets of Fuchsia is a much hyped shade that applied well over dark cream polishes, with multi-sized fuchsia glitters in a thin black base. Models Own Scarlet Sparkle (£5) is a slightly gritty bright red glitter that applied opaque in three coats, and will add a Christmas feel to your nails.

What are your top nail polish picks this season?

  5. Such pretty colors. How sad that Propaganda is discontinued, it seems like such a gorgeous color and I love Illamasqua polish.

  9. Very pretty choices there. :) I love the look of Dive Bar but it seems like a more shimmery version of one of the Rimmel metal rush colours so i'll have to convince myself not to buy it that way. ;)
