Autumnal Nails

One would think that while visiting another city, you would actually walk into the stores you don't have in your hometown. Yeah. Right. It makes sense. It just doesn't apply to me.

While wandering around the streets of Madrid at the end of August, I spotted what's probably one of my favourite makeup stores when it comes to certain products: KIKO. If you live abroad, if could be a weird or exciting find, because as far as I know you don't have that many KIKO stores. Here, in Spain? It's a very popular brand, so it's not surprising to spot a little store, whether you're in Barcelona or Madrid (or any other Spanish city that I have not had the pleasure of visiting yet!). I obviously had to walk in and take a little look at their sales. I was travelling on a budget after all!

Their range of nail polish is, well, pretty much huge. Don't believe me? Check it out here. No matter how many times you've seen it, it's always impressive to walk in and see that massive stand with so many colours to choose from. And, obviously, you always end up purchasing some - especially if they're 1,50€! (Their usual price is 2'90€, I believe, which is not that expensive anyway.) After a good 20 minutes going through a million shades, I finally chose three very autumnal colours.

243: a dark purple, burgundy colour, which is perfect for the cooler seasons. I'm a huge fan of dark nails but not such a big fan of black polish, so I've gone through several bottles of very similar colours to this one and I love it.

318: Although I love pink nails, personally I don't think it's easy to pull them off in the winter/autumn. Maybe that's just me. Anyway, I thought this dusty pink shade was a great alternative for brighter pinks.

329: I've been trying to get into the white nails kind of trend, but it just isn't for me - it's too much like wearing Tipp-Ex on your fingers! However, I think I may have found the alternative that works for me: a very light gray shade with blue-ish undertones.

What are your favourite nail colours for autumn?
