Thanksgiving Nails

Thanksgiving is my all-time favorite holiday! I love that it's not over-commercialized -- just you, food and family.
This year's Turkey Day mani is full of stamping, decals and leadlighting, all from the Bundle Monster Holiday edition (plates BMH11, BMH12 and BMH13) I used Nails Inc "Porchester Square" as my base. For the turkey and the pumpkin, I created my own decals, using colors from The New Black "Runway Collection." The pilgrim hat was simply stamped on, and I used the Leadlighting method for the leaves and the grasses.
My hands are now ready for eating, drinking, and Cards Against Humanity on Thursday. :)

Fall Trees

Today’s mani has been inspired by the view from my desk window. 

The base is Fresh Paint in “Firefly.” I sponged the grass on with Fresh Paint “Pistachio” and LA Colors “Spring Frost.” The tree stamp is from Bundle Monster  #BM409, and the polish I used was NOPI “Promises in the Dark.” Finally, I put a light topcoat on the tree branches, and added some glitter in red, brown, yellow and orange. I sealed in everything with NYC’s “Grand Central Station” - after reading some reviews on a Facebook group, I am giving it a try. I am pretty pleased with how they turned out :)

Watercolor Trees

This mani was inspired by a picture from Pinterest. (You can see the pic here.) I decided that whining about summer being gone was useless, as I was missing being able to enjoy fall. So here we go - yay for fall, hooded sweatshirts and bonfires!

Polishes used:

The base is Essie “Blanc.” For the trees, I used some no-name black striper. The watercolor background and leaves were done in Wet N Wild “I Red a Good Book,” Sally Hansen “Mellow Yellow,” Sally Girl “Surf’s Up” (green), Sally Hansen “Blue Me Away!” and LA Colors “Reckless.”

There are multitudes of people who have tutorials on the watercolor method, so I am not going to explain it - you can easily Google it.
