Autumn Trees into Winter Nail Art

Press Sample

My last autumn manicure. I can't believe tomorrow is December. I know I'm a broken record, but time is really flying.I really wanted to do this painting I saw on the Paint Nite site on my nails. I always get emails to go do a Paint Nite and I love to browse them because they are awesome nail art inspiration. This one is beautifully transitional as I move to winter manis and holiday collections tomorrow.

Le Polish A Great Miracle Happened There, December Polish Pickup

Press Sample

Today is exciting because I have a new Polish Pickup from a brand I've never used before. Le Polish has been around for a while, and it's purely my fault that I haven't tried them before! What's even more awesome is that this polish is Chanukah-themed! There really aren't many Chanukah polishes out there. The few I did have were glitter top coats named Eight Crazy Nights. While I love Adam Sandler for repping the Jews with a song, eh. So I love the more inspirational name for this polish!

Gelish Dip Powder Manicure System

Press Sample

Today, I have something totally new and I forced myself out of my comfort zone to try! I've been hearing about dip powders in the nail world for a while. As someone who changes her polish frequently, I wasn't really interested. But then I received this kit, and was still scared. But my cousin was telling me how she swears by these powders, and well, I had to sit down and give this a shot!

Partial Press Sample

I had to throw in a few more autumn looks before December hits! I actually wore this after I destroyed my harvest manicure cooking for Thanksgiving. I chipped it so badly, that I was picking at my nails!! Well, I was still visiting home, and had thrown in these two polishes in my bag, and I figured a quick gradient would work!

Fair Maiden In Omnia Paratus with Umbrella Stamping

Press Sample and Custom Gift

Today is a super special nail polish day! If you didn't know, I am an avid Gilmore Girls fan. I watched the series with my mom while it aired on WB! Every Tuesday night, we would sit down and enjoy the show together! I went to college the last 2 seasons and my mom recorded it on VHS (HOW OLD AM I?! lol) and we would binge the season over weekends that I came home. So many memories! So when I won a custom with Fair Maiden, I knew I wanted it Gilmore themed! And better yet, there's an EVERY EPISODE EVER marathon on UP channel right now, so I've been binging myself haha!

Hope you enjoy the last day of the weekend. I'm quickly posting this as I'll be heading to some farms in a few hours for pumpkins, apple cider doughnuts, and fun.

Acorn Nail Art: Reverse Stamping with Girly Bits over Blush Lacquer

Press Sample

Hi all! Sorry for the late post today, but it happens! I actually JUST took this mani off today and it was so cute! So many people stopped to look at my hand! I just love autumn and I love the images that are associated with the season. I knew I had to do this acorn image!

Acorn Nail Art:  Reverse Stamping with Girly Bits over Blush Lacquer

I started with a base of Blush Lacquer Nerida Singer, which I bought last April at Polish Con. I needed three coats for opaqueness. Holy cow, I LOVE THIS COLOR!!

Then I grabbed 3 of the new Girly Bits fall cremes, and went to town! I used the Lina Autumn 01 plate for the acorn image and stamped with Stump Up the Jam. I filled in the top of the acorns with Butternut Leave Me and filled in the bottom with Acornucopia. I'm so cheesy but it was the perfect fit! Then I matte it, and I loved it! These Girly Bits cremes are amazing! I'll be back with a lot more art and proper swatches later.

I loved this look shiny also, but it was so shiny that it was difficult to photograph! The top coat is Girly Bits What A Rush, which dries super fast!

You can find the entire Girly Bits creme set HERE. The ten piece collection retails for $118 USD (just under $12 each) or you can grab them individually (same price). I have many more manicures planned but I've been testing these as stampers and one coaters and they are both!
