Fall Leaves

Hopefully, you’re not bored of the fall leaves nail art yet! I still have lots of mani’s to share; but I’m not sure how many I’ll be able to either Halloween coming up and Christmas around the corner. The good thing is that I’ll have a good start for next years posts! 

Started with a base of skittles; starting at thumb and going clockwise:  Olive Ave Polish Smiley, Olive Ave Golden Hour, Zoya Cory, BKind Val-D'Or and BKind Bonfire, all two coats, no top coat.

Topped with Wildflower Nail Soup.  This was such a lemming for me; I remember when it was for sale and I thought I didn't need it, but then wanted it, and then had to wait until I was able to find one for sale afterwards.  Looks like crunchy leaves on the nail to me.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

MoYou London Tutti Frutti-02

Stamped with image from MoYou London Tutti Frutti-02 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

I thought this may be cool with a matte topper and glad I did it because I think I prefer this matte look; topped with Essie Matte About You. 

Thanks for looking!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians!  And if you're not celebrating today, perhaps this is nail art inspo for your own mani when you are celebrating!

Started with a base of fall colours; Color Club Beaches (thumb), Essie You Know the Espadrille (pinky and index) CND Vinylux Candle Light (middle) and Essie to dyi for (ring), no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Applied two stamper decals; Infinity Nails 65 on the thumb and MdU Autumn 4 on middle finger.  Did layered stamping on the pinky and index using UC mini:  Give Thanks 2 and stamped words on ring using the same plate except the word happy, which is from MdU Autumn 4.  Stamping polishes used were MdU 13, 53, 66 and 106, as well as Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

MdU Autumn 4

Did shadow stamping on the ring finger.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on top to finish.

Fall

Fall is my favourite season.  Usually, it's not too hot, not too cold.  And so much colour with the changing of the leaves.  Fall is also one of my favourite times to do nail art, which you can probably tell by the number of fall manis I share every year. Including this one; here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Wet n Wild Potassium-Rich (thumb), Essie You Know the Espadrille (index), BKind Orange Julep (middle), Essie Bait and Be Bold (ring) and Morgan Taylor Catch Me If You Can (pinky).  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did a stamped gradient with image from What's Up Nails B044 using MdU 13, 53, 59, 66, 106, 107 and Konad red special polish.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Fall Abstract

These are a little out of my comfort zone and although it isn't a style I wear often, I don't mind them.  Not my favourite, but I've done worse.  

Started with a base of three coats of Wildflower Lacquer Drink Like A Fish, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with image from Lina Make Your Mark 01 using MdU 48, 106 and 107 on all nails for fall colours, then added images on top using Lesly Golden Autumn (middle, thumb and pinky), and Maniology M022 (ring and index) using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief. I think in hindsight, I should have did leaves like on the middle and thumb, but hey, there's always next time.  Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Natural light.

Added a coat of matte for a different look and I think this was my favourite.

The good thing about doing something that isn't your style is that with a bit of remover and cotton rounds, you can remove it and start afresh.
