Too Soon?

I knew when I sat down to do my nails last night that it was calling for rain and because I've been wearing lots of neons and brights lately, I decided to wear something a little toned down.  I was looking through my IEC 2019 haul and seen these polishes and thought they would make a cool skittle fall mani.  This is what I came up with!

Started with a skittle base of Bees Knees Lacquer Bucking Bronco, Alter Ego Uncommonly Me, Bees Knees Lacquer Hell Knight, Alter Ego Happy I'm Not Like The Others and Alter Ego Being Myself.  All the Alter Ego polishes are two coats; the Bees Knees are three. 

 Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped on some fall leaves using image from Lina 4 Seasons-Autumn 01 using MdU 9, 11, 32, 51 and 66 (and not all them necessarily on each nail).

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  

The Bees Knees have this pretty delicate shimmer in them so I decided to apply a matte top coat to highlight it; applied one coat of Glisten & Glow matte.

We had a late start to summer and I believe I heard it's forecasting for a warm fall so oodles of time so don't worry that I'll be sharing fall manis now.  I still have lots of summer looks to share before the leaves really change and the wind blows colder!  Just a nice change from the brights and neons that I've been wearing lately!

Thanks for looking!

Alter Ego Gentle Benevolent

Alter Ego Body Care Products had an Indie Expo Canada 2018 exclusive polish that had me all grabby hands for; this is Alter Ego Gentle Benevolent!

I used this polish a little differently trying to think outside of the box and share something different so used it as a topper versus applied it to opaque, here is the final mani!

Started with a base of two coats of LA Girls Matte Sky Bloom, no top coat.

Added two very thin coats of Alter Ego Gentle Benevolent which has this awesome magenta glitter plus blue shimmer in a sheer fuchsia base.  Unfortunately, this was an IEC 2018 event exclusive so if you didn't pick it up at the show, it's only available in a destash, sorry.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using an image from Kelly Negri KN 27 using FunkyFingers Guesso.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.
