Autumn Leaves Nail Art

I am a big fan of Autumn. I love the colours, the weather and of course the darker nights.
I was really struggling for ideas the other day and one of my beautiful readers planted a seed of inspiration in my head, thanks Helen Benton!

Today we have a mani using some autumn colours and some hand painted vines.

To see what I used please join us after the jump! 

piCture pOlish Aurora

Can I start off by saying that I have in no way done this polish any justice. I took around a bazillion (that's a real number I promise) pictures in so many different lights but I still couldn't capture the pure beauty that is Aurora.

Join me for some picture spam and lots of "ooo's and ahhhh's" after the JUMP!

Tongue in Chic Stamping

Hello my lovelies! 

Today we have some more stamping! 

As you may well already know I am a big fan of nail stamping. With just a bit of practice you can achieve very good results.

I had the mother in law around today so I showed her how stamping works using China Glaze Tongue in Chic and Konad Special polish in White.

 The paisley design is from the Happy Nails Jumbo Plate by Cheeky

Tongue in Chic is a gorgeous deep shimmery green which is a one coater! It screams winter to me and I think this is going to be a regular this year. 

I am having a right mare with my photos recently.I think the key is to just keep trying LOL and one day after a lot of practice and messing around they will be amazeballs! I even have an AS level in Photography, not much good that does!

What do you think about stamping? Are you a fan?

Butterfly Lace Nail Art

Today I have some nail art, Yay! 

I have been using stamping quite a bit recently but I want to start getting back into hand painting nail art again. 

I have been super busy with another project recently so I haven't had much time for my own nails. So here's an easy one for me today, ease me back in :) 

This design actually started off being a tribal but I changed my mind lol! 

This is OPI's Vant To Bite My Neck? and Sick Lacquers Butterfly Effect. 

The glitter really sparkles against the dark purple. 

The formula of Vant To Bite My Neck? is really good, pretty much a one coater. Its a dark plum purple. Love this shade, I think it will be used a lot this winter. 

Butterfly effect has slices, circles ,diamonds and hex holographic glitter suspended in a clear base. It even has cute little butterflies in! I took a singular butterfly and place on my accent nail. 

The white "lace" is acrylic paint. I find it covers darker colours better than using nail polish. 

So what do you think? Are you ready to embraced the autumn/winter shades?
