Fall Is In The Air!

Holy Smokes!  There is a lot happening in these nails.  May not be overly obvious but there is!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with base of fall skittles; starting at thumb and going clockwise:  Glisten & Glow Soup & Snuggles, Zoya Cory, Sally Hansen Butterscotch, Sally Hansen Yummy Yam and Zoya Cory.  All two coats, except Yummy Yam, which is three.

Topped Zoya Cory with Stella Chroma Glistens Like A Gem for some sparkle interest.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

WH-03

Clear Jelly Stamper CjS H-95

Shadow stamped words on thumb using image from WH-03 using MdU 59 and 114.  Stamped patterned leaf on thumb using image from CjS-220 using MdU 106, 114 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief for outline.  Stamped plaid on index and pinky using Creative Shop 182 Basic using MdU 114, then leaf on both nails using CjS-135 using MdU 106 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Middle nails is CjS-220 using MdU 107, then layered with MdU 59 and MdU 48 for stem.  Leaf on middle is CjS-135 using Mdu 9 and 106.  Ring is image from CjS H-95 using MdU 59, 66, 106 and outlined in Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

I thought that some of the fingers looked odd as hey didn't have stamped outline, so did some brush hand painting on a few images using Painted polish Midnight Mischief.

After a coat of Apipilia No Smear TC, added a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 Thanks for looking!

Dots!

Another mani that I adored, this is so much a CNF mani: blue (of course), colourful (usually), holographic (yes please!), dots (so often!) and busy.  Busy might be my middle name!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Cirque Hudson with accent nails of Red Eyed Lacquer Not Today Red Barron (Hella Handmade Creations September 2022).  I love this polish and as so glad I was able to get a couple backup bottles!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on top.

Stamped using Hit The Bottle Vintage Grunge 01 using MdU 91, with accent nails of DRK XL Designer 01 using same stamping polish.

Used Picture Polish Stamped in Starfruit for floral centers, then decided to add it and Painted Polish Stamped in Greenery 2.0 for colour interest and filler.

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Not Candycorn Nails

I haven't done a gradient in a long time and was pleasantly surprised how well this one turned out!  It was just too bad that I did this mani in the middle of summer versus in the fall or even late summer as this would have been a great base for a fall or Halloween mani!  Another time, I guess.  Here's what I came up with!

UberChic 28-03

Started with a base of Morgan Taylor Ugh, As If, two coats, no top coat.

After adding a coat of QD TC and waiting for it to dry, did a sponged gradient using the same Morgan Taylor yellow, then Sally Hansen Insta-dri Healing Feeling and Sally Hansen Catch Me If You Can.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  I love the interest that Ugh, As If adds to the base!

Stamped using image from UberChic UC 28-03 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I did Ms. Cindy a little different, but using the same plate and stamping polishes.

 Thanks for looking - and enjoy the fall season!

Such A Stunning Blue!

This base polish is absolutely stunning; I had to make sure I picked a stamping image that could still allow it's beauty to still be seen through and think I accomplished that.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Garden Path Lacquer Stray From The Path (Polish Pickup March 2022), no top coat.
