I know I recently posted about not being ready for summer to be over just yet, but as I just got my Über Chic Beauty - Stamping mat, I thought this would be a great opportunity to test it out.
Make some leaves on it, and fill in. That sort of thing.
Where I live it doesn't look autumn-like at all. The trees are still green, there are still flowers around. I think that's why they call it the Emerald Isle. Haha. So my manicure might look at little too green that what would normally be considered to be a autumn look.
I started out with a coat of clear polish to my Über Chic Beauty - Stamping mat, then I used the leaves from Bundlemonster - Polynesia - BM-XL109. You can read my post about the plate by folloing this link. I I used Barry M - Gelly - Cardamom for that, and filled the leaves in using Barry M - Matte - Mocha. (looking at the ready manicure, this was not a good combination)
I promised you more indie polishes so this time I painted all my nails with Pretty Serious - VT100 that I recently bought.
Looking at it on my nails I think I got a KIKO polish that is a dead on dupe. More on that in another post.
I then took Moyou London - Nature Collection - 07 and stamped some branches on the other nails, using Barry M - Matte - Mocha.

Your decals look great! I love my Uber mat.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am still having a love hate relationship to my Über Mat.
DeleteBut I suppose I just have to stick to it and practice, as it is a bit different that making decals on stamper heads.
Lovely shade of green.
ReplyDeletePretty Serious - VT100 is seriously gorgeous, I agree with you there
DeleteGreat decals!
ReplyDeleteThank you! That is so sweet of you to say.
DeleteI'm thinking of getting the Uber-mat! Love your green fall! :)
ReplyDeleteI have had mine for a week now, and can't say I think it is super genius or anything.
DeleteBut if you are anything like me, love gadgets, then I would say it's a must. haha.
Yea, for the Uber mat! And the green you chose is just beautiful. This decal thing is something I am going to have to try.
ReplyDeleteI instantly fell in love with my Pretty Serious - VT100 looks like glitter, removes like a creme. <3
DeleteI highly recommend trying out making your own decals. it is so much fun, be it on a stamping head or the Über Mat.
Pretty and simple!

Thank you so much Sheila!
DeleteThis is such a perfect shade of green for Fall. Love your mani.
ReplyDeleteThank you so so much, that is so sweet of you to say.
DeleteWhat a lovely green, it looks mystical! The branches give it an ethereal look.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I was trying to capture some Ireland in this. :)
DeleteIf it looks ethereal, the I count that as a success. :D
I totally agree with you! I live in Arizona but in the last 3 weeks have traveled to Seattle and Ohio and ZERO fall colors, so it is really hard get inspired. Your mani totally represents all that I have seen for Fall. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. So glad it is not me :)
DeleteI love that you went green! After all we all have different Fall sceneries depending where we live!
ReplyDeleteI sort of felt like a rebel doing it, and didn't want to go too away from the theme, but I guess you are right. Fall sceneries are different depending on where we live.
DeleteI am such a sucker for greens so this mani is definitely right up my alley!!
ReplyDeleteGo Green Team!
DeleteSuch a lovely green! I'm really interest about its dupe affair. =)
ReplyDeleteShould be up in two weeks :)
DeleteBeautiful green and mani!
