Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  I did these nails for Canadian Thanksgiving this year in October; however, life was busy and I wasn't able to post them then, so am posting them today for US Thanksgiving.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Essie Lace Me Up, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Dixie Plates Autumn 03.

Stamped using Clear Jelly Stamper CjS LC-56 (pinky and index), CjS LC-57 (pumpkin and flower on thumb), Dixie Plates Autumn 03 (middle and ring), UberChic UC mini: Hello Fall and Pumpkin Spice (words on thumb) using MdU 52, 53 and 50.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 Happy Thanksgiving if you are celebrating today!

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 Foxy

I went for a drive yesterday and it was so fun to see all the leaves dancing in the wind!  I think it's going to be a while before all the leaves are off the trees with it being so mild here lately but it was a nice treat to see the dancing leaves of those that had already fallen!  One of the magics of fall!

Started with a base of two coats of Essie Force of Nature, no top coat.

Topped accent nails with Moon Shine Mani Pyramid of the Moon (Feb 21 PPU).

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped plaid using Creative Shop Basic 132 using MdU 65.    Stamped middle image using CjS 135 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and MdU 113. Ring is UberChic mini: Hello Fall & Pumpkin Spice using MdU 114.

Added pumpkins from MoYou London Fall in Love Collection-09 using MdU 122, 13 and 107 with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief as the outline.  The leaves are MdU 48.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

This is how I wore the other hand; in fact, I wore this plaid image on my nails a whole bunch of times when I didn't have a lot of time to do my nails (which is mainly picking out base polish and images which can take so long!)

Sweater Weather!

It's time for some cooler temperature nails; I've been wearing sweaters at least part of the day for at least a month now so I thought it would only make sense to share a sweater mani as it is sweater weather!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a sponged gradient base of Painted Polish Beachy Keen, Venice Beach Babe and Pardon My French Roast 2.0.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief using Messy Mansion MM40 and UberChic Hello Fall & Pumpkin Spice.

Give Thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my US nail pals!  

I did this mani for Thanksgiving Day here in Canada put didn't get to share it in all the social media places as I was living in the moment and spending my Thanksgiving with family and friends and wasn't really on social media much.  So am sharing it now!

Started with a base of skittles; starting at thumb and going clockwise; Sally Hansen Butterscotch, OPI Suzi Needs a Loch-Smith, Yves St. Laurent Sultan, OPI Have Your Panettone and Eat It Too, and Essie You Know the Espadrille, no top coat.

The next day, I also put a matte top coat on it, thinking the flakies would show up a little bit better.
