Stamping Plate: Bohemia Stamping Spooky Summer

I bought this plate over the summer, and although it is a summer plate its also good for spooky season;


The plate comes backed with hard white plastic and a blue protective sticker over the front.


It is summer but spooky themed, it has lots of individual images. I've used it a couple of times and it does stamp across, you just need to adjust the scraping angle.

Nails: Top 5 Autumn / Fall Polishes 2026

As autumn arrives today, I thought I would share my top five autumn / fall nail polishes. Polishes I plan on wearing as autumn rolls in.

I have done similar posts in 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013.



Calcite is a flakie topper which looks like autumn leaves, this one leans more red than Fancy Gloss Magma. I think this worn matte will make a lovely set of autumnal nails.


Flaming June is a golden orange holographic polish, the tone reminds me of the sunsets you get around this time of year in the UK.


The Alpha and the Beta, this is a vivid purple base with fuchsia hex glitters. There's something quite Halloween themed about this polish for me.


Chestnut Charm, its more a brown red than a red brown metallic which isn't showing up well in this photo. It's another autumnal leaf shade.


Horror Show, is a dark grey metallic polish which is good for Halloween and later in autumn. The bottle also is very Halloween-y.

Stamping Plate: UberChic - Sweater Weather

I think I got this in October 2023, since then I have used it a few times;

 

The plate comes with a blue protective sticker, and is autumn themed. Some is more aimed at American 'fall' but overall the plate is very seasonally appropriate and the images I have used stamp across well;
