Topic Tuesday: Favourite Toppers for Autumn

Autumn calls for flakies, and flakies that are matte. Fancy Gloss Magma is a nice autumnal one, has all of the colours leaves go in autumn. Nail Pop Sequin is another orange based flakie, similar to Magma but without so many colours leans more to the green side of the spectrum.

Stamping Plate: Beauty Big Bang 01 - Halloween

As October is upon us I thought it was time to review some of my Halloween themed stamping plates. This one I bought myself, if I was sent a plate to review I will always put an asterisk [*] in the blog title.

This Halloween themed plate comes in a cardboard slip cover, and with a blue protective plastic wrap on too. The back of the plate comes branded.

It comes with four full nail designs and about seven smaller images. All of the images stamped across really well, below are two of the nail designs I have used this plate in;

Topic Tuesday: Unconventional Autumnal Polishes

I think for me an unconventional polish for autumn could be holographics because particularly here (northern England) there isn't a lot of bright sunlight for around six months. Holo's do look amazing in direct sunlight so that is why it may be unconventional.

Stamping Plate: Nicole Diary 172 From Born Pretty Store [#49664]*

 

Nicole Diary 172 is a square plate, 60mm by 60mm. It comes with a blue protective sticker over the top of the plate, it is backed with branded logos.

The plate has six larger images, the theme of the plate is classed as part of the leaves collection however I think that this plate could be used as a easier way of doing the current trend fluid art nails. All of the images I have used stamped across well.

Here is some nail art I have done using this plate;

Swatch: Fancy Gloss - Magma

Magma is a duochrome flakie topcoat polish, I have shown it over black below as well as matte because flakies always look good mattified. It is a perfect autumnal / fall flakie polish.
