Nails are the same as clothes, if you look at any fashion show chances are no one is going to wear the outfits.  Designers take bits from fashion shows and turn them in to something wearable, in this case the nails aren't wearable this is just a recreation of something from the catwalk.

Nails: Autumn Feathers

I really a not too sure that summer 2012 actually happened here in England, certainly not where I am. 
Summer technically did happen, perhaps I blinked and missed it! Anyhow now it is September and therefore summer is officially over in the northern hemisphere.

A small feather found on my sofa, no idea how or where it came from but ideal size to stick to my nail!

Base Polish: ELF - Smoky Brown
Stamping Polish: ELF - Chocolate
Stamping Plate: BM214
Ring Finger Base: ELF - Desert Haze
