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.

More Fall Air!

The leaves have been turning for a few weeks now so we are starting to see fall colour on the leaves, which is nice to see again.  Here's another fall leave mani that I did last year.

Started with three coats of Zoya Sam, no top coat.  I don't wear these dark colours that often because unless your application skills are spot on, it doesn't always look the best but that doesn't stop me from wearing it!

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Using a mix of polishes, MdU 42, 107, 107 and 114, did leaves from What's Up Nails B021, with MoYou London Fall In Love 04 shadow stamped on ring finger.

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

Fall Leaves!

 Fall in not only my favourite time of year, but it is my favourite season to do for nail art and I usually have so many manis completed, I don't get to share them all.  This is from last fall that I didn't share; here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of skittles; polishes used starting at thumb and going clockewise:  Olive Avenue Polish Golden Hour, OPI My Italian is a Little Rusty, and OPI Have Your Pantelone and Eat It too.

Topped with Garden Path Lacquers And She Had No Fear (HHC Halloween 2022). 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using an image from Creative Shop 182 Basic using Hit The Bottle From The Ground Up (PPU August 2021).

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did double layered stamping as did the leaf image on top of the plaid using Clear Jelly Stamper CjS 135, using MdU 11, 13, 53 and 106.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

The next day, added a coat of Essie Matte About You.

Green Daisies!

 I mixed up my favourite daisy image with these nails, using a coloured stamping polish versus the white or blue that I typically go to.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Pahlish Thestral, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped using Lina 4 Seasons-Spring 02 using MdU 52.

Dotted the floral centers using MdU 83.

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

Except that I wasn't finished.  Me and my love of busy nails decided I needed a little bit more.  So added more dots using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.
