Farewell, summer's mermaid nails. Hello, total sophistication.

We can't argue with the name given by Zoya to their autumn collection: 'Sophisticates'. And to be honest, we've our eyes on every single shade, from deep wine Mona through to hunter green Tabitha, shot-with-gold Beth and classic red Yvonne.

In fact, the spectrum ranges from sexy nudes through to metallics, creams and pearls – and we know Zoya to be long-lasting, shine-retaining and (importantly for us), free of no less than 10 nail 'nasties'.

Think we're going to be doing a LOT of home manicures on the darker evenings to come.
