30 Days of Colour: Orange pond nails "Autumn leaves"

Introduction

It's an orange day and I love orange, so I prepared something very special. It's improved and upgrade with flakie top coat version of my quit popular autumn nail design. This nail art is done using pond technique and I combine layers of home made neon orange jelly with stamping and layers of flakie polish Up Colors Flocado Base, which I also used as a top coat. Pond nails are time consuming as you absolutely must wait for nail polish to dry before layers, but amazing result totally worth it. I love this look so much, because my favorite part of the autumn is colorful leaves, and I do not care that autumn is so far away. At least I can have them on my nails. Do not forget to see macro at the end it's gorgeous.

ABC challenge: Boo by Dance legend + Neon yellow (MdU) "Golden autumn"

Introduction

Second day of ABC challenge letter "B". In my collection there was only one untried polish starting from that letter, gorgeous duochrome Boo from Dance legend. I bought this polish in May while traveling in Russia and it's a shame I did not try it before. I'm really glad I had to wear Boo, because now there is a little sun on each of my nails. This splash of color* reminds me of beautiful autumn trees and brings me back to that wonderful time of the year. Perfect to escape for a moment long and cold Canadian winter.

September Nail Art Challenge: Stamping Month! Day 14: Leaves

Introduction:

Today our stamping theme is "Leaves" and I planned to do something with real autumn spirit - Jelly leaf stamping sandwich. Classic jelly sandwich consists of two alternating layer: jelly and glitter, but once I saw that you also can alternate stamping with jelly, I was in love with this technique. The problem was absence of any jelly polish in my collection. However I learned that I can mix my own jelly combining clear polish and any cream polish.
