Nail Lacquer In Cliffside Karaoke, £8.58 (was £14.30) | O.P.I
Rated By: Saskia Fenwick, @SaskiaFenwick
“I often turn to OPI polishes as they’re easy to use and tend to last longer than other non-gel alternatives. The shade itself is a glossy, rich brown that has a nice depth to it – especially if you apply a few layers for a richer feel. It looks luxe and expensive.”

Oxygenated Nail Lacquer In Hot Coco, £16 | Nailberry

“Glossy and rich in pigment, this colour has so much depth to it, which makes it easy to wear all autumn and winter without ever looking too heavy. The polish itself is long wearing with impressive shine.”

Longwear Nail Colour In Infinite, £25 | Chanel
Rated By: Georgia Rae, @RaeLondonNails
“I’m all about the chocolate shades for the cooler months ahead, and I always reach for ones that are deeper in tone because they tend to suit multiple skin tones. My favourite this year is from Chanel’s latest collection. With a glossy top coat, it just works with every look.”

Bio Sculpture Nail Polish In Sunset Boulevard, £12 | Bio Sculpture
Rated By: Emma Jackson, @EmmaJacksonNailArtist & Julia Diogo, @PaintedByJools
Emma: “This is a rich, creamy chocolate brown that flatters everyone. That’s thanks to its warm undertones which add depth, and the texture which is rich and glossy. It’s the perfect autumnal shade – especially if you want something a bit different.”
Julia: “I’ve had so many people ask me for chocolate brown recently. It works with all skin tones and is really versatile. You can layer it up for better intensity, or stick to a single coat for something lighter.”

Gel Couture In All Checked Out, £8.99 | Essie
Rated By: Sarah Falshaw, @SarahFalshaw

“A gorgeous deep, brown shade, this suits most people – in particularly those with a medium to dark skin tone. It sets the tone for autumn and gives nails a really sophisticated look. Plus, it works on both long and short nails – it’s such a versatile colour.”
