Challenge Your Nail Art: Fall Flowers

Hello Readers!

I'm excited to bring you today's entry for the "Challenge Your Nail Art" group on Facebook, which is inspired by fall flowers. I thought the MoYou London Trend Hunter plate would be a perfect jumping off point for this prompt, since it has lots of fall flowers against different backgrounds, including plaid which is a great match for fall themes.

Here are my polishes and plates for this manicure:

I did a double-stamping technique for the plaid look, using two of the different plaid images from the Born Pretty Store plate.  I stamped the first in the gold polish, and the overlapped it with a coordinating image from the plate in black polish. For the sunflower image, I simply made a decal with the MoYou London Trend Hunter plate using the sunflower and plaid image.

ABC Nail Art Challenge: S is for Squirrel

Hello Readers!


For this weeks letter of the ABC Nail Art Challenge I decided to go with Squirrel, mostly because I thought it was a perfect theme for a fall mani! When I think of the forest in the fall, I think of warm, cozy flannels. My inspiration was kind of the forest at sunset so I could stick to the warmer fall colors to go along with my red flannel.

So my red polish is is Revlon Parfumerie "China Flower", and my yellow is Sinful Colors "Yolo Yellow". I sponged over the yellow with Essie's "Taj Ma Haul" to add a bit of texture to the background. 

My squirrel comes from the Bundle Monster "Fuzzy and Ferocious" collection, from a very cute forest-themed plate:

And my acorns come from the Bundle Monster "Time Machine" collection:

That leaves the plaid pattern, which is from this handy plate by Born Pretty:
