It's Fall!

Fall has officially arrived! 

 I have a little head start on fall nails this year because I have a few mani's from last fall that I didn't get around to sharing!  Including this one!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of OPI Como Se Llama with accent of Color Club Je Ne Sais Quoi, all two coats, no top coat.

Did a sponged gradient using OPI Como Se Llama? and OPI It's Piazza Cake, then topped accent with Rogue Arizona.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Delaney Feuillages A001 using Hit The Bottle Magna Opus (PPU September 2019).

Stamped accent nail using Painted Polish Stamped in Sweet Potato using image from UC mini Hello Fall and Pumpkin Spice, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Fall Leaves!

We have typical fall weather today; a little on the cool side, light showers and/or overcast skies.  I have a few fall nails that I've done in the last couple of weeks so I'm going to mingle them with other manis as I appreciate not everyone is experiencing fall weather.  We don't even have that much of the leaves changing colour yet but I'm sure it is just around the corner!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of one coat of Zoya Tilda, then did a sponged gradient using Zoya Tilda and Shawn.  My apologies, this isn't the best gradient I 've done.  I didn't notice until I had already removed the latex barrier that not all fingers were even in darkness of the gradient but it didn't look this obvious in real life; I didn't notice until I was taking pictures.  I was too lazy to reapply the latex barrier and add to the gradient, so decided to live with it.

Added a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Delaney Feuillages A001 using MdU 32, 66 and 46.

This was my other hand; I alternated the two Zoyas and did the same stamping, which did show up a little better on Zoya Shawn.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Last of the Fall Nails!

I have been loving these fall mani's and could do oh so many more but with Halloween knocking at the door, it's time to post the last of the fall nails.  (One of my neighbours already has their Christmas lights up; I'm like, let's get over Halloween first buddy and then we'll think about Christmas!)  

Anyway, here's the last of my fall nails....unless I decide to throw one in after Halloween as I'm sure we'll still be in the middle of fall here at the rate the leaves are falling!

Started with a base of two coats of Sally Hansen Butterscotch.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with images from Delany Feuillages A001 on all fingers except thumb which is UberChic Lovely Leaves.  Stamping polishes were MdU 11 and 13, GirlyBits Fire Engine Red and Esmaltes Da Kelly Lili.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I got some new lighting and would love any feedback you have on these pictures.  Worse?  Better? Not colour accurate?  Too much glare?  Any feedback including the good, the bad or the ugly is greatly appreciated!  It's a work in progress but I am trying!

Thanks for looking!

Digit-al Dozen Does Rainforest: Day 3

Sorry I'm late for Day 3 of Digit-al Dozen rainforest nails; unfortunately, life got in the way!  Today, I'm sharing these gorilla nails; I was pretty happy how they turned out!  

Started with a base of Quo by Orly Nude, two coats.

Sponged on American Apparel Army Jacket, American Apparel MacArthur, Maybelline Go Go Green and Essence Walk On The Wild Side.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

My nails are fairly long here (for me, anyway!) and I was itching to cut them down but had planned this mani in advance a while ago.  (It may seem odd to plan in advance for some, but I know what the DD challenges are and some other things I participate in, so I go through all my plates every so often and pull them and gather ideas of what I'm doing to do, say even for mani themes months in advance!) So I had been waiting until they got a good length so that the thumb image from Bundle Monster S153 would fit.  I was in luck as it justtttt fit.  Added accent images from MoYou Literature Collection-08; both images using Funky Fingers Dark Knight.

Bundle Monster BM-S153

MoYou Literature Collection-08

Stamped pinky and middle finger using an image from Delaney Feuillages A001 using MdU 7.

Delaney Feuillages A001.  (I was into a lot of the images on this plate; I used quite a few of them to accent Ms. Cindy on quite a few days!)

Using same image and a clear stamper, placed foliage around the index and ring finger.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Well, I thought I was finished but the next morning I thought adding more gorilla images would be cool, so stamped them on all fingers using same image from MoYou Literature-08.

Did a finish with matte to cut down the glare!

Here's the other ladies Day 3 mani's!

P.S. Immediately after these nails were done, I cut down my nails....too long! lol

P.S.S. I look that that thumb image and all I can see is sad gorilla...am I the only one?
