Surprise! Another Fall Mani!

This might be my last fall mani, other than a Thanksgiving one that I hope to do Sunday night and post Thanksgiving Monday...but we shall see!  

Started with a base of skittles; at thumb and going clockwise:  Olive Ave Polish Smiley, Essie Risk-Takers Only, Olive Ave Polish Olive, Essie Walking the Walk, and Olive Ave Golden Hour. 

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Used following plats:  UberChic Lovely Leaves (thumb), Lina 4 Seasons Autumn 03 (index), CjS-267 (middle), CjS-86 (ring) and CjS-267 again (pinky).  Used MdU 9, 11, 13, 23, 66, 106 and 107.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 Finally seeing some fall colours too; hope to see more this weekend!

Leaves are Falling!

This mani came about for no reason other than I was in the middle of doing fall nails and felt like wearing green polish.  Sometimes it is just that simple.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Zoya Shawn, no top coat.  Did between 2 to 3 coats as 2 wasn't enough on all the nails.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using What's Up Nails B 033 using MdU 9, 13, 106, 107, CjS 151 and 245.  Accent nail is UC mini:  hello fall & Pumpkin Spice an Nicole Diary-196. I used a shrinking stamper for the words on the ring finger to fit.

Topped with a base of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Fall Leaves!

We have more seasonal daytime temperatures now and the nights are really dipping, so there will be lots of fall colour soon.  My favourite time of year; can't wait to see more leaves changing!  Here's another fall mani that I did not too long ago!

Polishes used, starting at the thumb and going clockwise:  Painted Polish Cobra Clarity, Girly Bits Butternut Leave Me Alone, Etheral Lacquer Viper, Chance Nail Lacquer 303, and Cirque Urbanized.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-318

Stamped using Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-318 using MdU 9, 13, 106 and 107, outlined in Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Accent nail is Lina 4 Seasons Autumn 03 with same polishes.

I thought the thumb looked a little bare when the leaves on all leaves were outlined but not on the thumb, so handpainted an outlined them with polish and brush, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

F-A-L-L

Fall is in the air so still sharing fall mani's in this corner of the internet.  This one looked better in my mind than how it turned out but maybe next year, it will be better.  Here's what I came up with!

MdU Autumn 3

Started with a base of two coats of KADS 45, no top coat.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did gradient stamping using MdU 9, 13, 106 and 107 and images from MdU Autumn.

Golden Leaves

This was one of my favourite fall manis that I did last year but I didn't have time to share it so wanted to make sure I got it shared this year before going onto Thanksgiving and Halloween nails.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Orly Lovella, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did layered stamping with image from UberChic UC Lovely Leaves 5 with accent nail using CjS-86 using MdU 9, 11, 13, 66 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Added few more dots on accent nail using dotter.

Shadow stamped words on accent nail.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

As with the case of a lot of manis, I liked how this turned out, in fact, it was one of my favourite fall mani's, but if you've been here a while, you know I like busy nails.  So added random dots for interest and colour using MdU 66.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Autumn Days

I guess every day is autumn days until December 21st so here's another autumn days mani!

Started with a base of fall looking skittles; starting at thumb and going clockwise:  Zoya Honey, Zoya Arbor, KBShimmer Oh My Gourd, OPI Is That A Spear In Your Pocket? and OPI Piazza Cake.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Maniology M425

Did layered stamping on index and pinky with image from Maniology M425 and on the middle finger using CjS LC-56 as well as the ring finger using CjS-267.  Thumb image is MoYou London Fall in Love 09; shadow stamped the words.  Used MdU 9, 13, 48, 59, 106, 107 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Fall Flowers!

I remembered when I did these nails that I was so excited to do a gradient and really wanted to put something on my nails other than the typical tropical looking nails, so I picked this floral image but what it did (to me, anyway) was make it look like a fall floral.  I'm not made about that but it just wasn't what I wanted at the time.  Here's what I came up with!

Did a sponged gradient using Morgan Taylor Ugh, As If, Morgan Taylor Let's Do A Makeover and Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Poppy Patch.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from UberChic UC Japanese Motif with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  

I wished I had have taken a small detail brush with black polish and filled in those voids that didn't stamp solid but didn't notice them until I was already finished.  They weren't visible to the eye, just in these supersized pictures.
