Autumn Mani Nailspiration!

Happy Sunday, Fairypants fans!

We've got a cheeky little treat for you today. Whether you're looking for an Autumn sparkle-fest or just your Glam-owe'en mani, we have some inspiration to throw your way.

We started off -as we so often do- by gazing longingly at our 'Intergalactic' collection of holographic nail varnishes, when we were struck by the notion of how beautiful red/orange toned 'Mars' would look over our blackest of blacks - 'Noir' from the 'Paintbox' collection.

You have a look for yourself, what do you think?




Oh good lord. There are no words. Under diffused light (for instance, on a cloudy October day), this combination creates a subtle bronze glow, similar to Tiger's Eye, one of our favourite gemstones. Under direct light, you have an absolute rainbow of Autumn colours, twinkling and sparkling more than one pair of human eyeballs could ever have imagined!

The more we looked at this, we wondered what we could do to keep the contrast of the dark and light, but also bring out more of those beautiful orangey tones.

Well. Quite simply, we took the yellow - 'Jaune' - and the red - 'Rouge' - from the same Paintbox collection, put a coat of that over the black (so as to keep that dark tone) and THEN a lashing of 'Mars'.

Are you ready?



So here, our index and little fingers have the original Noir/Mars combi. Our middle finger has Noir + Jaune + Mars and our ring finger has Noir + Rouge + Mars. 

There you have it, three totally different looks inspired by Autumn. We don't know about you, but we think the ring finger definitely has some seasonal pumpkin-spiced charm! That said, we just can't choose our favourite look. What do you think?
