GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE SEPTEMBER (2024) — Autumn Leaves 🍁🍂

Good morning lovelies & happy Monday! It’s a beautiful day, feeling ever so Autumn-like, so I feel like today’s manicure is the perfect match. We’re onto the next prompt of Glam Nails Challenge September, which is Autumn leaves. 🍁🍂

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essie First Base 
  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • Essie Vested Interest
  • Essie Leggy Legend
  • NailStuff.ca Clear Stamper
  • Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate BP-L026

How cute did these turn out? My stamping did show up a little bit lighter than I was hoping, but I do love how pretty this colour combination is! Also I’ve been having so much fun digging through all my polishes of Autumn’s past & pulling out some forgotten favourites — like these beauties from Essie.

What do you think about this design? Are you enjoying the prompts so far this month? I know I certainly am enjoying all the Fall-themed prompts, & I’m excited to share more!

Don’t forget, you can check out #glamnailschallengesept24 on Instagram, & see all the other beautiful designs being shared!

& happy Monday! ♥︎

Instagram Leaves Nail Art Collab 🍁🍂

Hello loves & happy Friday! & Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians! Today we’re taking the day off from Glam Nails Challenge for another fun Instagram nail art collab. I’ve enjoyed jumping into this collab a every month — hosted by @essieyall & @petitenailslover.

I’m very excited because this month’s prompt is leaves & I do love a good Fall leaves design.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat
  • Essie Lady Like
  • Revlon Spidey Sense
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri SCRAM!
  • Essie Mosaic On Down
  • Finger Paints Surreal Sunset
  • NailStuff.ca Clear Stamper
  • Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate BP-L026

I really wanted to created a layered leaves look, to mimic like a pile of leaves on the ground. Think I went with too light of a base though — a darker one probably would have allowed for the stamped leaves to pop more! But I do still love how it looks, & I think it’s such a pretty look.

Down below, you can see all the beautiful designs collaged together. You can check out #leavesnailartmanicollab2023 on Instagram to see all the participants & they’re beautiful designs.

What do you think about my fun leaves design? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below. & if you’re celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend, enjoy! 🍁🖤
