Sweater Weather

Hello again! I'm back so soon with another Glam Nails Challenge prompt. This one is for yesterday and the theme was 'sweater weather'. I knew I had to get Mo You London's Fall In Love 08 involved for this one, it has a whole bunch of gorgeous cosy images including some jumpers and jumper prints.

I started with base colours of pale grey, off-white and navy blue. I then created decals on my Uber Mat for the thumb and ring fingernails. The multi-jumper image was a a bit big for my newly filed nails but I did manage to get enough of the image on that you can tell what they are! For the leaves I added them all together from separate images into one decal, so had to guess a little bit how the placement would work on my nails - it came out pretty well I think! You can see how to make decals here. For the other nails I used white stamping polish to add jumper patterns.

I'm pleased with how these came out, I'd been meaning to do something like this in blue and grey for some time so I'm glad to have finally got round to it! I think it's very fitting for autumn and blue/grey and jumpers are very me!

Leafy Autumnal Nailies

Hey everyone! Doing things the other way round and have shared this look on my Instagram already, however I've now realised the picture I chose was a little blurry and not as good as these ones, sooo annoying! Can't delete it now as people have already reacted to it! SO - This look is one I had in a mind for a little while as an autumn look, I was really keen to use ILNP Bloodline again as it's so pretty, and it tied in with one of the Glam Nails Challenge themes for this month too (autumn leaves).

I started with a base of Bloodline on three of my nails and off white on the other two (colours listed below the pictures. Then used a variety of polishes and Mo You London's Fall In Love 05 stamping plate to layer up some leaf images. I started with the paler colours first and built up to black stamping polish for the detail. I was really impressed with how well the orangey polish stamped!

I'm really pleased with this look :) I've gone back and forth a bit on whether I think the leafy nails look weird next to Bloodline, but I've included that I like it and it's a fun autumn look! Would definitely wear again.

Colours used: Bloodline - ILNP, Cream Soda - Barry M, Yellow - Barry M, Spring Green - Barry M, Playing Koi - Essie, Watermelon - Barry M, Cappuccino - Barry M, Cocoa  - Barry M, Black Stamping Polish - Rainbow Connection

Camping into the Autumn Nails

Hey everyone! More advanced stamping nail art to share today - surprise surprise! I'm also wearing the third of the autumn ILNP shades I bought recently - Skyline. I've decided not to do all of the Halloween Glam Nails Challenge prompts this year as I wanted to squeeze  in a couple of autumn designs first, this being the first one. 

I started off with a base of Skyline on my thumbnail and two of my finger nails, and cream on my other two fingernails. I them used my Uber Mat to make details for the two cream nails and thumbnails, you can see how here. For the thumbnail I used Uber Chic's Who Gives A Hoot stamping plate and for the other two nails I used images from Mo You London's Fall In Love 10 stamping plate. I thought the little woodland camping images would be quite fiddly but they were easier than I thought!

In conclusion I really like these, they're good summer into autumn images and I'm enjoying the sparkle! I've included images with and without flash below but unfortunately none of them bring out how sparkly the sunflowers are in real life!
