Cosy Plaid // Beige Autumn Plaid Look

Cosy Plaid // Beige Autumn Plaid Look

This came about whilst I was swatching the Nails Inc Nails Spice Set. It doesn't get much more autumnal pumpkin spice vibes than these 4 shades and I thought they'd be perfect for a scarf look.

These stamp better than I thought they would!

Polishes/Tools Used:
Base:
- Nails Inc // Pudding Lane (off white)

Stamping:
- Nails Inc // Bread Street (pale mauve), Honey Lane (beige), Nutmeg Lane (terracotta)
- MoYou London // Trend Hunter 27 Stamping Plate

Top:
- MoYou London // Smudge Free Top Coat

Quick Designs // Christmas In September Plaid

Quick Designs // Christmas In September Plaid Nail Art Design using Barry M

Christmas in September anyone? I didn't mean for these to turn out so Christmassy but here we are. In other news, I've started seeing advent calendars and other Christmas related things in the supermarket. Eurgh.

This look was supposed to be "autumnal" but whatever. Also, if you think I'm hiding my thumb because I didn't do it then you are correct 🙈. So this atually started out with a base of Red Sea and then I stamped on the white stripes. The white is too overpowering though; I should've chosen a non-stamping polish. From afar it looks ok though.

The Rainbow Nails Challenge September 2020: Plaid // Mustard Scarf Print Nail Art

The Rainbow Nails Challenge September 2020 Plaid Mustard Scarf Print Nail Art

Directly inspired by the legendary Cher from clueless, I bring you these scarf/plaid nails.

It's not an exact match but I was really happy with them. I didn't wear a great base coat though and became extremely aware of how long I had this design on for as Cantaloupe is an absolute arse for staining. I think I had this on for about twenty minutes and then I took it off. The edges near the end had already started to slightly turn yellow.... I need to do this design on false nails so I can wear it for longer.

I also need more scarf print stamping plates. That means I have a valid excuse to buy more stamping plates. Sure, I could've done this with acrylic paints but I just love stamping.
