Subtle Gradient Autumn Leaves

This Thanksgiving I decided to skip the turkeys and do Autumn leaves instead. This was a very easy mani and only took a little over an hour. The final look is beautiful and will be perfect for my family's Thanksgiving feast.

Subtle Gradient & Autumn Leaves

Fall Floral

Floral is usually a Spring/Summer staple but with the right colors it can transition to Fall.

Zoya Matte Velvet

Zoya has brought back their popular Matte Velvet line! As soon as they were released, I called Ulta to make sure it was in stock and bought 3 of the 6 colors. I'm hoping for a sale or promotion so I can order the rest from this collection. 
The Zoya matte velvet nail polishes are not meant to be long lasting like regular nail polish. You'll get tip wear and chipping much quicker than usual.

Cyprus Dreams

Let's start September with a gorgeous green for Fall. As much as I love bright colors for the Summer, my true love lies in dark colors for the colder weather.

Fall Scalloped Nails

My fall scalloped nails remind of a Reese's peanut butter cups. Tutorial here (skip to 1:35).

I have been looking for a brown polish. For some reason, most places don't sell brown polishes. I was so happy to have found Pumping Gas by Spoiled. This is a cheap brand of nail polish I found at CVS. Unfortunately I am disappointed with it. The brush is very big, making it hard to control. This color in particular is extremely sheer. I am hesitant to buy this brand again.  

For this design, I used 3 coats of Pumping Gas by Spoiled. 2 coats of Mellow Yellow & Sun Kissed by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear. 

It's making me crave some chocolate right now

Jack O' Lantern, Spider, and Web, Oh My!

Bloody Ghouls

I had some time today and wanted to do a Halloween themed nail design. The inspiration came from this YouTube video. For the dripping blood I used Blanc from Essie and Berry Sweet from Nicole O.P.I. The ghouls were Licorice from Essie and Blanc from Essie. This was a simple and easy design.
