This time of the year you can often find me wearing different shades of black on my nails. I say black, because from far away they all look black, but if you look closer you can see a hint of colour. I always veer towards richer shades like these in Autumn and Winter, I think they complement the feel of heavy cold-weather fabrics nicely, like wool or velvet. Here are some more close-ups of my favourite nearly black colours.
Do you guys wear different nail colours depending on the season?
OPI Here today… Aragon tomorrow
Essie Damsel in a Dress
China Glaze Calypso
Essie Wicked














I love your blog so much! you’ll find my likes in 90% of your posts ;) and congrats on being freshly pressed! (it made me discover you)
loveee the colors!!! :D
ooh I have that green and I love it! Beautiful colors :-)
Hi! Check out my post about Strange Beautiful nail polish! Gorgeous and totally unique colors…
I love dark colours in the winter time too! Right now, I’m wearing a super dark brown, almost black shade. It looks so glam!
Oooo love love that green – so good. On my to-buy list. Great to see them on your hands…
Oo I like all these colours, and would wear them all year around! That green is fabulous – I usually have to layer a lighter green over black to get anywhere near that sort of colour, it’s gorgeous!
i’ve never thought of layering nail polishes to mix colours. such a good idea, thanks!
I love OPI’s Here Today Aragon tomorrow. One of my favourite autumn/winter nail lacquer colours.
Oh, I just got Essie Wicked and I love it- I’m actually wearing it now! But I do sometimes think that it looks too close to black. For winter though I think it looks good :)
gorgeous shades, esp Essie Damsel in a dress. i love to buy a different nail polish just to cheer myself up.
Love those colours. I think when something’s really dark but not quite black it gives a nice touch. Happy New Year!!:)

I love love love the blue color! But I’m not sure I see the point of paying a ton for nail polishes. What’s the difference between these name brand kinds and brands that cost less? Are there differences I should be taking into consideration?
Love these colors, especially the dark green. Darker nail polishes are my favorite part of fall/winter…OPI You Don’t Know Jacques is a great gray based color too!
Love navy on short nails—that’s what mine are as I type!
I keep meaning to buy Essie’s Wicked! Great color! If you are looking for a good dark green, Essie Incognito is one of my favorites!
just got a manicure and the color looks almost identical to Essie Wicked! (the last one) My color was by OPI though and was called “Midnight in Moscow”
I love the look of Essie Wicked – I’m adding it to my “must try” list! Lately I’ve been rocking the dark purple shade of the Nails, Inc. magnetic polish, I believe it’s called Houses of Parliament. It’s a really pretty dark purple on it’s own and very cool with the magentic pattern.
Great pics!
Love the colors. You do a great job with your nails. Thanks for liking my recent post too!
I love dark nails!!! I always thought they look so edgy and stylish. I like the eragon tomorrow. Also you have such nice nails, I have such a hard time keeping mine in a good state and shape! Fantastic blog, keep up the great work. XO
Gorgeous colors. My favorite nearly black is Hot for Chocolate by Revlon. Nice blog you have.
I’ve finally managed stop biting my nails so I love putting nailpolish on them now – these shades are gorgeous!
love all these shades!
I love the Eragon tomorrow nail polish, dark greens are my favorite!
Great pictures, I love the reflections on your nails :) Particularly dig Essie Damsel in a Dress, it’s a great colour!
I love dark colours at any time of the year – my favourite out of these is the OPI Here today one. But my all time favourite is still Chanel´s Rouge Noir.
i also like rouge noir, but Essie’s Wicked is quite a lot cheaper and a really close dupe.
