And, just like that, Summer is pretty much over. Holidays, long days, and back garden barbecues are feeling like a distant memory (which probably isn’t helped by the fact we had approx. 1 week of real sunshine this whole season). Honestly though, we’re not mad about the oncoming of Autumn. Sweater weather, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and Halloween? Yes please.
Plus, it’s an excuse to revamp our wardrobes, hair, and beauty – and what’s not to love about that? This season in nails, we’re loving muted colours with neutral overtones, as well as unexpected brights and pops of colour. Here are our picks for Autumn’s hottest nail colours.

1 MauveIs it pink? Is it taupe? Nope, it’s something even better in between – mauve. This purple-pink shade is the ultimate transition colour between summer and autumn, and we love it.

2 Silver and ChromeThink 'Transformers', but make it chic. High-gloss chrome is the way to wear silver nails this season.

3 Blue greyIf you look at the sky at the minute, you’ll know exactly what shade we’re talking about. Yep, whilst cloudy grey-blue might be a tad depressing above our heads, it’s a killer look on our nails.

6 English greenGreen on your nails was already a hit, but this Autumn we're wearing it darker, deeper and warmer. Think: old Jaguars, Tiffany lamps and pine trees. Bliss.
