Autumn Gloom Floral

Hello lovelies & happy Monday.

Autumn is in full swing, & I’m loving every moment. There is nothing better than the ‘Ber months. Flannel days, hot cider, all things pumpkin spice — I couldn’t ask for more.

Naturally I’ve been drawn towards darker colour on my nails, as you’ve probably all noticed. I decided, though, there wasn’t enough floral happening so I decided to hand paint some pretty floral on my nails, but still keep with the deep dark jewel tones which have been calling to me.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Sinful Colors Power Paint Top Coat + Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat
  • Color Club Jewel of A Girl
  • & then a whole bunch of Color Club shades that don’t have names listed (purchased in multipacks at Winners/Marshalls)
  • NailStuff 7mm Mermaid Tail Liner Brush

I’m pretty proud of how these turned out. The colours really compliment the shimmery jewel tone of Jewel of A Girl, & pop very nicely. I did use a ton of shades for this look, but literally none (except my base) had a name on it. I actually have a lot of Color Club shades I don’t use very often because they’re nameless.

Maybe someday I’ll do some investigation to figure out what they’re names are, but today is not that day.

What do you think of this gloomy Autumn floral? Do you like this vibe?

We’re only a couple days away from October, so I’m already starting to plan what I’m going to do for the month — pumpkins, & ghosts & spooky vibes are definitely on the list!

Happy Monday loves. Enjoy it.

Hand painted Autumn Floral 🌻

Hello lovelies & happy Monday! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.

It was chilly, & seasonal, & I definitely was adding some pumpkin spice to my coffee. I’m just loving this weather so much. It makes me the happiest! You know what else makes me happy? Floral on my nails. Especially when it’s a floral to match the Autumn vibes. So I’m excited to share this look I hand painted.

Originally I was going for sunflowers, but they kind of transformed into marigolds (maybe?). Some kind of Fall flower for sure.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essie Hard To Resist Strengthner
  • Top Coat: Sinful Colors Power Paint Top Coat + Essie Speed Setter
  • Essie Bordeaux
  • Essie Fall for NYC
  • Essie Set in Sandstone
  • Essie Willow in the Wind
  • Essie Off Tropic
  • Essie Expressie Take the Espresso
  • NailStuff 7mm Liner Brush

How pretty did these turn out? Do I know what flower they actually are? no idea! But do I love them regardless? Absolutely!

What do you think of my Autumn floral? Have you missed my flower designs? I haven’t done very many in the last little while, so it was fun to stretch my nail art skills with these.

Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below, & for fun share what your favourite part of Fall is (since it is officially Autumn on the calendar as of tomorrow). Now that our days are getting more crisp, & cool, & I am loving every moment but especially the Fall themed drinks!
