September Nail Art Challenge: Stamping Month! Day 17: Candies

Introduction:

Today is 17th day of September stamping challenge and the theme is "Candy". This day is super special for me, because it's a due day for my first baby, so I made this sweet candy jelly stamping sandwich for him. Hope you also will enjoy it as much, as I do.

September Nail Art Challenge: Stamping Month! Day 16: Rainbow

Introduction:

I love rainbows, whenever I see one it make me feel happy and I always look for them if the weather is right. However creating rainbow on the nails is quite challenging. I wanted to make it bright rainbow rather then pastel, so creating decal with all bright colors was an obvious choice.

September Nail Art Challenge: Stamping Month! Day 15: Clouds & Rain

Introduction:

For today's challenge I created something in between clouds and rain water drops. Abstract blue stamping topped with Djinn which surprisingly adds to the rainy look. I like how Thermo 164 changes background color with temperature. Thermo-polish is really good for Autumn, when your nails are exposed to wide range of temperatures :)
Results:

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. 

Results:

September Nail Art Challenge: Stamping Month! Day 12: Bugs

Introduction:

The challenge of the day -Bugs and in contrast to previous two days I have plenty of different bugs on my plates. Mostly butterflies, which are frequently featured in nail art. I wanted to use more unusual ones and put one bug per nail on simple background. So it looks like entomological collection :) My favorite is index finger, because ant looks super realistic.
Results:

September Nail Art Challenge: Stamping Month! Day 11: Books

Introduction:

I was really excited for today's topic "Books". I love reading and used to read a lot of science fiction. To my disappointment I could not find any single image related to books on my plates. I had to think hard about it before I got an idea. It's been a while since I wanted to make fire nail art, and guess who is one of my favorite science fiction authors? I do not know about you, but for me books and fire can mean only one thing: Fahrenheit 451. So this single nail art is dedicated to Ray Bradbury and his fantastic book.
Results:
