More Fall Nails

The leaves are finally falling in my area with the cooler temperatures and I'm sure, we'll be seeing the first snowfall.  In fact, I was positive I seen a random snowflake in the rain yesterday!  It's too soon; I'm still looking forward to cooler days before the snow falls!  In the meanwhile, I'll share a few more fall mani's including this one!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Dimension Nails American Alligator, no top coat.

Topped thumb with a coat of KBShimmer Sol Amazing, no topcoat.

While pretty, wasn't the look I was going for, so added a coat of Mooncat Stumped.  That really wasn't the look I was going for either, but decided to live with it.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

MdU AK Otono

MdU Autumn 3 and the gradient process once the stamping polishes are dabbed on, then scraped to mix together.

Stamped using images from MdU Autumn 3 and MdUAK Otono using MdU 13, 32, 66, 106, 114 and 122.

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Thanks for looking!  And why did I just notice that I failed to do cleanup on the thumb as can see the stamping polishes??? 

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.

 Thanks for looking!

Spring Nails!

I did these nails while I was doing Easter nails, but they didn't turn out to be too Easter looking, even though I used a MoYou plate that had Easter images on it!  But it does make a nice, albeit different,  spring floral mani, so I'm sharing it now.  And yes, I know roses don't bloom in spring!  

Started with a base of two coats of Dimension Nails Mangrove Frog, no top coat.  I wasn't a fan of the brush so switched it out with the KBShimmer wide brush and it worked well.  FYI for anyone if you wanted to know if it worked with this brand.

Added Moo Moo Signatures Rainbow Please Don't Go Away (PPU June 21) on accent nails, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Marianne Nails n114 using MdU 80 on the glitter topped nails, then added images from MoYou London Festive 25 using MdU 15 on the creme, plus isolated the middle rose and put it on the plaid as well.

MoYou Festive Collection-25

Stamped the middle of the same image again using MdU 93, then (kinda) shadow stamped all the rose images.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

This is a little different but that's OK, I still like how they turned out!

Thanks for looking!
