Stamper Skeleton Nails 💀

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! I hope everyone is having a lovely week, & obviously excited about the weekend.

We are now half way through October — somehow! — & that’s just insane to me. The kids costumes are figured out, but I’m still trying to decide what I want to be for the big night! When it comes to Halloween, I’m definitely a last minute costume kind of girl. But, thankfully, I always have something on my nails.

I just found my stamping kit items in a box, so I was excited because I love my Color Club skeleton stamping plate. Quick but cute nails, especially without much time.

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
  • Essie Gel Couture Tailored by Twilight topped with Quo Beauty Midnight Magic
  • Morgan Taylor Dreaming of Gleaming
  • Color Club Skull Stamping Plate
  • NailStuff Scraper & Stamper Set

As you can see, I might have been in a bit of a rush so my silver got a bit smeared when I applied top coat, but that’s kind of a vibe — right? Not my best job, but I still have 1/2 a month left of October to redeem myself. & I really liked to silver over purple, so I had to share.

& from far-ish away, you can barely tell I mucked them up with top coat!

What do you think about this skull & cross bones design? Do you think they’re a fun Halloween look? Let me know what you think, & what Halloween nail art look you think I should attempt. I’ve been thinking about doing cute pastel ghosts, so I think that’s going to be coming up soon!

Stamped Red Sparkly Nails (Autumn Vibes)

Hello lovelies & happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is having a lovely start to their week, & it’s not too hard wherever you are. Today is the first day in a while that actually feels not unbearably hot — at least it does early in the morning as I write this! & even though I love love love the heat, I’m excited for a cooler day because its giving me Fall vibes, & I’m already wishing for those cooler days of boots, tights & lots of layers!

But since we still have a few weeks before it will even begin to feel cool enough to wear tights with my dresses, I guess I will need to fill my Autumn vibes with nail polish & nail art.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essie Hard To Resist Glow & Shine 
  • Top Coat: Essie Gel Setter
  • Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Red Handed
  • Quo Beauty FX Shimmer & Shine
  • Essence Shine, Last & Go Into the Unknown
  • Born Pretty Store stamping plate BP-L006 (no longer available)
  • Nailstuff.ca clear stamper & scraper set

Oh man, I am enjoying this look.

Originally I had painted my nails red, adding the sparkle, but I felt like I wanted to jazz them up a bit, & it had been a while since I did any stamping! I thought navy blue would be just enough darkness so a subtle transition manicure between Summer & Fall, & I was right. It gives me just enough of a Autumn feel, without going full on. Although I’m drinking maple pumpkin in my coffee as I write this, so I’m not really scared to go full tilt into all the Fall colours!

I also have a stamping plate I bought last year for Autumn/Thanksgiving that I never got a chance to use, so I’m pumped to be able to pull it out this year!

What do you think about this nail art look? Are you ready for all the Fall polish/nail art content? Let me know what you think, & what colours you’re excited to wear in the upcoming season!
