Autumn and Plaid Nails and my September Polish Pickup Haul

 Hey Friends

Today I did some autumnal nails :) which I wasnt happy with so I changed them to plaid, which is why its taken so long to publish this post! 

Here in the UK its getting darker and colder by the day so I thought I'd do some autumnal nails before diving into Halloween nails.

I started with a base of Zoya Tasha and Lemming Lacquer The Worst Witch, both good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. The Lemming Lacquer is from Polish Pickup September, last pic shows my haul, I'm feeling plaid nails for tomoro :) 

I then stamped using Zoya Cooper on my left hand and Mel on my right hand, the pumpkins were stamped with Virago Varnish Pumpkin Everything. The colours I picked didnt quite owrk out so I changed my mani this afternoon.

The plates I used were Dixie Plates Halloween 2017 for the pumpkins and Uberchic Beauty Lovely leaves 2 for the leaves and words.

The plaid nails are a base of MJ Lacquers Pink A Boo, left hand and Fancy Gloss Spook-tacular also thermal.

The MJ is a deeper brown toned red when cold to a bright coral leaning pink when hot, jam packed with flakies. The Fancy Gloss is a very intriguing polish, its blue toned purple when cold, pink leaning purple when warm and clear when hot, it also has metallic flakies. Both good formula if a tiny bit sheer so I did three coats each. I then grabbed the Uber Chic Beauty Pretty in Plaid 3 plate and used Zoya Vivi and Zoya Mila over the MJ thermal and then Zoya Brie and Sally Hansen White On over the Fancy Gloss.

Allison is stunning, a lovely pink with that purple undertone, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat and she also stamps.

Brie is one of the first Zoya I ever purchased, a gorgeous shade, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Brie also stamps.

plate is Uberchic Texture-licious 3.
