American Apparel 'Violet Panache'

I’ve been the happy owner of this polish for a while now and I must admit, it’s one of my absolute favourite nail colours for Autumn/Winter. There’s just something so festive about purple, glitter and metallic shades to me and this nail polish embodies all three. Now don’t worry, I’m trying my best not to get ahead of myself; I’m well aware that it’s a while yet until Christmas.

This colour has a vibrant metallic blue/purple base with the tiniest flecks of violet glitter in it. It’s definitely one of those shades that has you looking at your nails every five minutes in sheer appreciation of being a woman. Not that nail polish is solely reserved for we ladies of course, but you know; I don’t see many men walking around with kick ass violet glitter nails. Do you? Though in my humble opinion, I think everyone could do with a bit of this violet loveliness in their lives.

Okay, weird tangent over. If you happen to be after a pretty colour to brighten up the colder months, look no further! Violet Panache is your nails’ perfect purple pick me up.

Winter Nails

As I’m a total fiend for nail polishes (I have enough that I could wear a different colour every week of the year and still not have worn them all - eek), today I thought I’d share with you some of my favourite shades that I like to wear during the colder months.

 

L-R

 

American Apparel. Port – A beautiful dark red with brown undertones, very glam.

 

American Apparel. Bronze Dash – Metallic bronze with tiny silver glitter pieces that create an extremely shimmery look on the nails. How very festive!

American Apparel. Violet Panache – Vibrant metallic blue purple, again with tiny glitter pieces - this time they’re violet. I love this nail colour for christmas parties.

Barry M. Racing Green – A gorgeous deep metallic green.

China Glaze. Cleopatra – Gold glitter with the odd green and purple fleck, opaque in one coat. My absolute favourite, it doesn’t get much better than this!

Topshop Nails. Pillar Box – The name says it all, a bright post box red.

Ciate. Sand Dune – A lovely metallic gold.

Who noticed the running theme? It would appear that I quite like my metallics at this time of year wouldn’t it! As I do so love adding to my nail polish collection please leave me some suggestions in the form of your favourite winter shades.
