Fall Vibes!

I was in Niagara Falls recently and they still had so many leaves on the trees; it was nice to see the extended colour as they have pretty much all fallen in this area.  Although the weedy trees, whatever they are called, behind my house in the ravine are still green despite the cooler temperatures.  All the colour gives me good reason to continue to post another fall mani; here's what I came up with!

Started with Yves St. Laurent Amber Gingembre and Safran Sultan; two coats each, no top coat.

Topped accent nails with thin coats of Femme Fatale Phantasmagoric Wasteland, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped lines with image from Maniology M164 using MdU 114 and pumpkins were shadow stamped with image from What's Up Nails B053 using MdU 114, then MdU 66.

Added dots using MdU 114.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Decided to add image to thumb using Chez Delaney Automne 001 doing a gradient of MdU 106 and MdU 107, then also added a few random dots using MdU 106.

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

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.

Topped with Polished for Days Enchanted.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

UberChic Mini:  Give Thanks 2

Stamped using MoYou Fall in Love 06 (index, pinky and accents on middle and ring), UberChic Mini:  Hello Fall & Pumpkin Spice (middle and ring) and UberChic Mini:  Give Thanks 2, using MdU 9, 13, 39, 66, 106, and 107.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

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

40 Great Nail Art Ideas Does Grey + Colour

I've been good at getting my nails done for these Friday challenges but haven't been that successful in getting them posted on time; hopefully this will change soon!  This weeks 40 Great Nail Art Ideas theme is Grey and a colour; my added prompt was Ikat.  This is what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of YSL Gris Underground, no topcoat.



Added a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC before stamping.



(Most awkward bottle pose everrrrrr!)



Stamped with an image from VL-04 using Funky Fingers Gesso. (You may notice I switched from using the YSL bottle; just doesn't work for bottle hand posing lol.)



Did lead lighting with 10.1 Polish Lemon Cupcake.



I have never done Ikat before; so had to Google it; this was the mani used for my inspiration; photo credit to shutterstock.com



Finished it off with a final coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC.

Here's the other ladies Grey + Colour mani's with all the different prompts!  (They have it as "Grey + Color" but to me, it should be "Gray + Colour"; while I can live with the Grey, I can't live with Color! Maybe I should have reworded it "Gray + Colour; the Canadian version lol.
