Bonus Fall Nails!

While we experienced a few cooler days at the beginning of October, for the most part, we're still experiencing milder temperatures and a good many leaves are still on the trees around the city.  So I'm sharing these bonus fall nails as fall leaves are still a very real thing here now.  The temps are suppose to be mild for a few more weeks too so who know, I might share a few more before transitioning into winter/snow nails.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of skittles.  I didn't take a picture of them by themselves as honestly, I didn't think I was going to stamp or share this mani as I was just not in a good headspace about my nails, but they turned out OK so only took pictures after I had stamped.  Starting at the thumb and going clockwise, polishes are Essie You Know the Espadrille, Dimension Nails Kangaroo, Essie Yes I Canyan, Essie Win Me Over and Essie Let It Slide.  Topped with Holo Taco Fallen Flake Taco.  Then stamped using images from CjS-318 and Lina 4 Seasons-Autumn 03 using MdU 9, 13, 66 and 106, with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Halloween Bonus Nails

I call these Halloween bonus nails as I did these nails mid summer for a weekend Halloween event, but didn't have any Halloween stamping plates or (what I would use for) Halloween polishes.  But I tried to make it work with what I had on hand and thinkthey turned out pretty cool!  They were a lot brighter than they appear here; however, the lighting washed them out a bit but hopefully you still get the idea of them.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with typical Halloween colours (to me, anyway!)  Morgan Taylor Ugh, As If (thumb), Painted Polish Midnight Mischief (index and pinky), and OPI Silicon Valley Girl.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped lines using Lina Born to Sail 01 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, and shadow stamped stars from UberChic UC 28-02 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and Blanc Slate. 

Added a whole lot of dots for colour, interest and filler, using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and Blanc Slate, MdU 11, 13 and 69.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 This is out of my wheelhouse but I liked how it turned out; I need to do nails like this more often!  It was a nice, bright mani during the summer and subed for Halloween nails too in a pinch!
