Fall into Autumn : Leaves

Hey dolls,

 

Hope you all are having a great weekend, and for my Canadian followers, I hope you all are having a happy Thanksgiving!!!!

 

I am going away on Monday for 5 days with the hubby to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. But while im gone on Tues-Thursday there will be posts on 3 OPI mini sets, so make sure to check them out :)

 

So for today's post I have the next Fall into Autumn challenge for you which is leaves. A while ago I made a fall franken called Autumn Rising. Its inspired by the changing eave colors of fall, so I thought it was appropriate to use that for today's post.

 

 

These swatches are 1 coat alone, 1 coat over black, and 1 coat over Julep Rachel.

 

But for today's manicure I decided to start off with 2 caots of OPI Taking the Stage, from the Burlesque collection. And then do 1 layer of Autumn Rising over top.

 

 

I do really like this combination, I think it really shows the colors of the fall.

 

Well dolls you'll get 1 more post from me tomorrow, and then dont forget about the scheduled posts!!!

Stamping and Dots

Good morning lovelies!!!!

 

I figured id do my post this morning since I love this manicure so much and cant wait till I get home tonight.

 

This is the first time Ive used 3 different plates, 2 different colors and a dotting tool, all in one manicure!!! And I can tell you now that it wont be the last time I do this as its sooo much fun.

 

So for the base I started out with Essence Color and Go in Wake Up!. Its a nice orange cream that applies perfectly in 2 coats.

 

 

Once that was dry I looked through my plates to see what Halloween ones I own, turns out I have 3!!! OB26, BM-305 and to-10 (I got it from chez delaney), and I used Konad White and Black from the stamping. Once the stamping was done I took Billie Purple and China Glaze Kiwi Cool-ada and did dots in those, which I think completed the mani. Ill tell you what plate I used one each finger :)

 

Thumb - BM-305

Pointer - OB 26

Middle - OB 26

Ring - OB 26 and BM - 305

Pinkie - to-10

 

 

What do you guys think??? I was originally only gonna stamp with black, so if I decided from the beginning to do the 2 colors I would have reversed the middle finger. But I still love this. I think its stinking adorable for Halloween!!!!

 

Anyway dolls hope you all have a great day!!!!!

Fall Into Autumn: Football

Hey dolls!!!

Hope you all have been having a great week. Mine has been pretty busy yet again lol. I just finished spending like 2 hours on my nails, filling them all down again :( I had a nail start to break across earlier this week and i used Gelish on it to secure it, well today that also started to crack. Then of course I got it stuck in a desk drawer so now I have nubbins, and it feels sooo weird. But I must say the manicure im gonna show you tomorrow is stinking adorable!!!!!!

But onto today's nails!!!! Since today's challenge post is about footballs and im farrrrr from being a sports girl, I decided to do pink footballs since its also breast cancer month.

I started out with 3 coats of OPI Peddle Faster Suzi. Once dry I used a White Stripe Rite to paint on the football lines. OC course I then decided to add my SF topcoat too it since I realized I haven't used it in a while.

I loved how my nails have gotten more rounder as I think it compliments the footballs. I think I did a pretty good job with this challenge.

But make sure to stop by tomorrow and see my first time combining stamping and dots :D.

China Glaze Dorthy Who

Good evening dolls!!

 

Hope you all had a great weekend, and a good Monday. Well I guess as good as a Monday can be. I had a very productive weekend at work, and dyed my hair, ill post a pic once I get a color accurate one, but its now a black purple. Definitely loving it.

 

But onto the nails, today I have for you guys China Glaze Dorthy Who. Its a blue glitter polish that goes full opaque in 3 coats. Definitely a very stunning polish.

 

 

I appologize for the crappy picture, but the light just wasn't working with me. I have the box for my light box so hopefully some point this week I get it made. But this polish is definatly a must have. Ive owned it for a while and never tried it and cant figure out why ha ha.

 

I'm going to keep continuing my untrieds so defiantly keep an eye out. Hope you all have a great nite!

Julep Sandra

Hey dolls!!!!

 

Hope you all had a great week!!! Mine was pretty good, caught up with an old co worker, starting playing WoW again, hung with my bestie, seen the niece and nephews today, and got a job promotion!!!! Ill have my own store as of November and I cant wait!!!! So needless to say this week has been busy. I did however paint my nails a few times this week. Once was China Glaze Dorthy Who and the other was Julep Sandra, as im trying to use my untried's :)

 

I was very pleasantly surprised with Julep Sandra, Its an awesome almost neon/metallic pink. I cant figure out why I haven't tried this before. It only took 2 coats and applied really well.

 

 

Isn't it gorgeous??? I kept looking at my nails even thou they were just a solid color. definitely gonna be getting some use out of this next summer.

 

Tomorrow ill show you all Dorthy Who, but for tonight its now bed times for me. Hope you all have a great weekend <3

Catrice Dirty Berry

Good morning dolls!!!!

 

I know this is a really early post, and its because tonight when I get home ill be nerding it up so my nails will not take priority for once. This morning the new World of Warcraft expansion was released so of course I bought it and cant wait to be a Panda!!!!!!! So just a quick apology for the lack of posting that there will be in the next few days. I really need to learn to do scheduled posts. Maybe ill try to for my vacation in a few weeks. But onto the nails!!!

 

Ive decided that I need to start working through my stash and using my untried. So today I have Catrice Dirty Berry for you. This is a dusty purple holo. It applied like a dream and only took 2 coats. The holo in it is stunning even in doors. Its definatly a perfect fall color, and im so happy to have this in my collection.

 

 

 

 

Look at that beauty!!!!!! Definitely glad I choose this color and it will be on till at least tomorrow hehe. Hope you all have a great day and Ill try and pull myself away from WoW to get back to you guys asap <3

FiA: Cloudy Days

Hello Lovelies!!!

 

Today's post I am sooooo happy with. Not only did I try my first saran wrap manicure using 4 colors but I also stamped over it. So for the Cloudy Day manicure, I was going to create dark clouds on my nails using saran wrap.

 

I started out with 2 coat of China Glaze Immortal, which is dark grey with blue and pink shimmer in it from there Halloween collection. Once dry I used saran wrap and dabbed on Julep Jessica, China Glaze Kinetic Candy, and Billie French White. Once those were all dry I dabbed on a bit of China Glaze Immortal. I then added one coat of Finger Paints Sparkle Top Coat, to make it look like the clouds are wet from raining.

 

I loved my nails like that but then I decided I haven't stamped in a while since Ive been soo busy frankening that I decided to use my BM-312 plate and stamp clouds over it using Konad Black. And I think the stamp completed it all. I am in love with how well this manicure turned out :)
