Today I participated in a collaboration with some talented women organized by Sarah of 25 Sweet Peas. Our prompt was Fall Decor and I am summoning all the Autumn vibes I can with this mani to get it to cool down here. It is the middle/end of October and today (Monday the 23rd) it is supposed to be 97 F (36.1 C)! I mean come on Mother Nature - WHY!? I'll stop whining now and share with you the collaboration photo!
Now let's get to my mani details!
Products used:
Pug Posse Nail Lacquer - Cinnamon Cider (press sample)
Bluebird Lacquer - Ambrocombie and Fitch, Advanced Algebrah, Language and Cultural Anthbrology (press samples)
Messy Mansion - MM Crystal 02 Plate (press sample - affiliate link to Lantern and Wren)
Vino Vinyls - Leaf Vinyls
Ever After - Black Magic
Clear Jelly Stamper - Big Bling Stamper (press sample)
Glisten and Glow - Top Coat
This mani took quite a few steps, I started with Cinnamon Cider (2 coats) and top coated it. Once that was dry, I used the Leaf Vinyles and created a gradient using the Bluebird Lacquer polishes. I added another top coat to that and below is what I got.
I knew I wanted to add more...I mean, if you are going to make a Fall mani and it's 97 degrees, I figured I would go big or go home. I used the MM Crystal 02 Plate to spell out F A L L with Black Magic. And then added another top coat. I was pleased with the final "Autumn in your face" mani!
Are you feeling Fall/Autumn weather where you are? Would it be ok if I sent 5-10 degrees your way? Let me know!

Happy Polishing,

This is too cute! The gradient leaves are just perfect. Autumn finally decided to show up today. We went from 85+ degrees to 50 and raining back in September. I was seriously starting to wonder if we were going to have an Autumn this year.
