Falling Leaves Nails featuring new Smitten Polish

I've got just a quick nail art post for you today, featuring my favorite polish from the new Smitten Polish Christmas in Stars Hollow Collection.

In case you missed the review of the new Smitten Polish collection, here is a link to Monday's post, I promise you won't want to miss out on the Gilmore Girls fun! The collection is available for preorder on Friday, more details (including info on a sale) on the whole review.

I'm obsessed with fall and I work in the most picturesque downtown in Northern California. The little main street is lined with these amazing Chinese Pistache trees and the leaves are dancing all over the place today.

Ok on to the nails!

To start off this look I did two thin coats of Smitten Polish Monkey Monkey Underpants and then I broke out another of my favorite Smittens - The First Lobster. I thought the shimmer in Monkey Monkey Underpants would pair so well with the the deep red orange of The First Lobster and I was right.

I stamped the nails using various parts of my MoYou London Mother Nature 07 plate, which is currently out of stock, but it's an amazing plate! I just love that The First Lobster was able to stamp and it actually paired so well with Monkey Monkey Underpants!

Which Smitten Polishes are you most excited for?!

Well that's all for today people, I've got holiday collections coming at me left and right, you won't want to miss what's in store for the next few weeks!!! :)

Fall Nails featuring Elevation Polishes

So I saw the Sunday Stamping prompt in the lovely Adventures in Stamping Facebook group today was fall nails so I decided it was high time I partake in this fun.

I just had a great weekend. Super fun day yesterday with girlfriends showing them how to nail stamp and then today I had a swatch-a-thon and wanted to reward myself with a fun nail stamping look to cap off the day.

So I grabbed my new MoYou Mother Nature 07 plate and set out to do a fall leaves manicure! Fall is my absolute favorite season and here in California we've been having a bit of an Indian summer weather-wise, so I am trying to will the cooler weather on with these fun leaves changing color nails.

I used all Elevation Polishes for this fun look starting with a base of Ephemeral Sands SBP and then using Khan of Khans (olive green), The Latin of 4 Languages (orange) and Zhenjin (gold) to stamp the leaves on top.

The effect creates a subtle leaves changing color type look. I really like how these turned out, now if only California would change seasons already!!!

I hope you all are experiencing much cooler weather than we have been in California and I hope you area all enjoying various pumpkin flavored delights! I've caught way up on my swatching, so now I've just got a lot of post prepping to do this week!
