Happy Thanksgiving!  I did these nails for Canadian Thanksgiving this year in October; however, life was busy and I wasn't able to post them then, so am posting them today for US Thanksgiving.  Here's what I came up with!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Clear Jelly Stamper CjS LC-56 (pinky and index), CjS LC-57 (pumpkin and flower on thumb), Dixie Plates Autumn 03 (middle and ring), UberChic UC mini: Hello Fall and Pumpkin Spice (words on thumb) using MdU 52, 53 and 50.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to anyone who may be celebrating today!  I did these nails a couple days ago and have been wearing them all weekend.  Here's what I came up with!

Lantern & Wren ThankFall

UberChic I Always Fall for Autumn

Did a skittle base; starting at thumb and going clockwise:  Essie You Know The Espadrille, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Pride Healing Feeling, Color Club Beaches, Orly Lovella, and Sally Hansen Miracle Gel I Don't Desert You.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did a stamper decal from Infinity 65 after using a shrinking stamper to make it smaller.  I even made it a little too small, or didn't position it well, as I had to hand paint in the top of the free edge the cornucopia.  After sponging Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Instinct on index finger, stamped image from Creative Shop 16S (used shrinking stamper too for it).  Stamped feathers on the middle using image from Lantern & Wren ThankFall, then layered stamped turkey (not very well!).  Ring is Lesly Autumn Leaves with words shadow stamped from UberChic I Always Fall For Autumn and lastly, the pinky is image from Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-220.  Used a few polishes I didn't make a note of for the stamper decal and the following MdU stamping polishes:  9, 13, 46, 53, 66, 75, 106 and 107, along with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  

I touched up the base polish over the turkey that I didn't stamp very well, and also added a few more brush strokes of colour for the turkey feathers, then added leaves on the middle (not very well either) using image from CjS-135.  

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

 I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend if you celebrated, and if not, hopefully this mani will provide some ideas for your Thanksgiving later in the year!

There's No Time Like Fall Time

These colours kinda go together to create a cool fall mani!  I do have to say, there's no time like the fall; this fall has been amazing for weather, fall colours, a great Thanksgiving, and watching dancing leaves!

Started with a base of two coats of Essie Revenge's A Beach, no top coat.  Love, love, love this colour!  I wish I had have bought a backup....

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Added a few dots for some colour and filler using same MdU 32, 9, 107, 114 and 106 polishes.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my US nail pals!
