Penny Talk Gets Funky!

Hey Everyone! Well, I got almost all of my Christmas stuff done. Tonight is making cookies and peppermint bark night! I also have to make a birthday cake for df who has a birthday tomorrow. The closer I get to the weekend it seems the more I have to do.

This mani was one of my favorite manis I did for Fall. I don't think it is very Fall like but I love it.

I used Essie Penny Talk for the base color. I love these Essie metallics, especially for stamping.

I then did a gradient with Dare to Wear Get Funky.

I did not realize that Get Funky actually had a orange tint to the base until I did this mani. I happen to love it even more now that I know this.

This mani was so sparkly and I love how Get Funky looks over Penny talk.

This mani chipped fast on me but I believe it was due to the Elmer's Glue basecoat rather than the actual mani.

This mani was crazy glowy.

I took far too many pictures because I loved the glow and the sparkle.

I definitely want to do this one again.

That's all for now :)

Fall Leaves

Hey Everyone! I know, I know, another Fall mani. I promise I AM doing winter/Christmas manis now and they will be up soon but I wanted to show you some of these fall colors too. My son ended up with an ear infection so that adds a great bit of fun to my week. I am counting the days until Friday which starts my vacation. I also just fell out of my chair at work. I am the only one in my office so no one saw it but it was pretty funny. My arm, neck and knee are a little sore now though. I am totally ungraceful. Onto the nails!

I used BM04 to stamp the leaf pattern.

I love copper so I used Essie Penny Talk for the leaves.

I used a coat of Oopsie Daisies Ganache over China Glaze Call of the Wild. This polish is awesome in person but my camera didn't pick it up as nicely as I hoped it would.

I used Dare to Wear Get Funky for the gradient and I also put some on the leaves after I stamped them.

Wow I used a lot of polishes for this mani lol. I used China Glaze Call of the Wild for the base color. I don't know why I don't have a bottle shot of that one.

I love the gradient nail. I don't have many pictures of this one because my cuticles were trashed and I don't want to make you suffer through looking at too much of them.

That's all for now :)
