Stamping Saturday: Fall Foliage

I couldn't get a post up on Saturday but my nails weren't naked! I'm trying to get to all my fall design ideas before Christmas colors start drawing me in! I went with metallic leaves for this one.

  

#52WPNMC & #StampingSaturday

Of course with the holidays it's harder to find time to do manicures more often, so gotta combine these challenges and post something!

For 52 Weeks Pick And Mix Challenge the prompts this week were "brush stroke" and/or "favorite brand". I went with brush stroke this time, and it's my first time seriously attempting it. I don't think visible brush strokes on past manis count for the technique, haha.

Fall Colab Contribution

One of the FB groups I'm in, recently had a fall manicure collaboration and I was glad that I participated, even though I procrastinated till the last minute! But that's how it usually goes for me, lol. I really wanted to try for a "leaves floating on water" look and thanks to the new BM Sun Kissed collection's plate 509, I had the tools for the water effect!!! I even had comments on IG and FB about the water - which means I successfully transferred my idea onto my nails! Woohoo!! And BM 004 for the maple leaves of course :) 

September is Stamping! Day 14 - Leaves

Here we are with day 14! I totally missed all of the ones I was looking forward to the most (dragon & fish) but I'm still around :)

I started a new job last week...but it's more like a transfer, so still the same strict polish rules and it just discourages me from doing nail art during the week :(
