Autumn Leaves

Since we are supposed to be in Autumn (anyone else still dealing with high temperatures? O_o) I got the idea in my head to do some Autumn leaves on my previous manicure. It was the picture below from Konad Stamping Nail Art that inspired my design, of course my nails are NOWHERE near THAT long!!

So with that in mind I scoured through my Konad plates until I found the design I wanted to use. I used the leaf designs on Konad plate M20.

I only stamped half the design on each nail alternating either the big leaf or the small leaf. Then I moved onto the next colour and again alternated which leaf I used. I kept doing this with a new colour until there was no room left - so there are fewer colours on y pinkie compared to my thumb. All up I used Konad Special Polish Gold, Yellow, Blue, Light Grey, Dark Purple, Gold Brown and Green for each successive leaf. Lastly I used Konad Special Top Coat to seal my design.

So what did it end up looking like...

Unfortunately it was overcast the following day so I have no photos in full sunlight.

I'm happy with how this turned out :) I wanted it to have multicoloured leaves on the brown background and that's exactly how it looks. I also found it useful to see which colours turned up on the brown for when I want to stamp on similar dark colours. My pad of paper had a large amount of mess left over after stamping so many times!!

Konad Stamp Skittles

I hadn't stamped for awhile and decided to try a few different stamps out on my manicure. I wanted full, bold designs nothing will small delicate lines that might not transfer. So with that in mind I chose 5 designs from Konad plates M15, M24 and M54. I used Konad Special Polish Blue on my thumb and ring finger, then on  my other fingers I stamped using Konad Special Polish Green.

The plates I used:

M15 Images I used on my index and middle fingers (ICNA)

M24 Images I used on my thumb and ring fingers (ICNA)

M54 Image I used on my pinky finger (ICNA)

These photos were taken in artificial light.

Then the following afternoon in the dwindling light I took these photos. Oops I forgot to include my thumb!

For me this was a good opportunity to try out different stamps. I actually really like the blue stamped on this colour even though the green stood out more. I can't wait to use the design on my thumb in white on black nails!
