Metaphorically speaking, of course.  Still getting into the high 90's here.  I feel your pain, Spongebob.

For this month, the lovely group Hobby Polish Bloggers on Facebook has put together another link-up with the theme "Fall."  It was hard for me to figure out what I wanted to do - freehand?  Watermarble?  Stamp?

Ah!  Yes!  Stamp!!  I purchased the Secret Garden plate set from Bundle Monster a while ago, and knew I wanted to use one of those plates.  I also knew which Pahlish I wanted for the base, as it was one of the first colors that popped into my head as a fantastic Fall background - "The White Tree."  And I used 3 M Polish colors, because of course!  They're the best after all ;)

With The White Tree as my base, I stamped the leaf images from the tree onto my nails using a mix of Penny (prototype), I Need A Vacation, and Guilded all dotted over the leaves.  

It created the perfect fall leaf color mix!!  I'm so glad it turned out!!  And it happened to match one of my favorite fall sweatercoats very well ^_^

Here's a macro of each nail

I love this mani!!  I love it so much that I decided to leave this mani on for a few days :D  What?  Crazy!!

Challenge Your Nail Art: Traditional Thanksgiving Image

Happiest of Turkey Days to you!!!!  I hope you have wonderful plans for the day (even if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving!).  I'll be spending it stuffing my face with good homemade food, and chatting with family :)

Today is the final day of Challenge Your Nail Art's Fall theme!

For my traditional Thanksgiving image, I chose a turkey - but a super cute one!!  Check it out!

(Please excuse the boo-boo on my ring finger)

The only polish I used was "Weddell Sea" by Elevation Polish for the background, and "Pilgrimatic" by Different Dimension for the glitter gradient.  Everything else is acrylic paint.  I like him ^_^

The Challenge Your Nail Art group has some pretty fantastic themes coming up for the entire month of December - that's right, there will be a new design every other day starting December 1st!  Be prepared to be spammed with some jolly good nail art!!!  I will try to insert some regular polish posts in between, too, for those of you more interested in polishes than art ^_^

Have a fantastic Thanksgiving, lovelies!!  See you soon <3

Challenge Your Nail Art: Fall Food

I am very, very late to post today - I apologize.  I've been feeling quite under the weather and very slow-going today.  I'll be keeping this one short and sweet :)

As you can see, today's theme for Challenge Your Nail Art is Fall Food.  I decided to go with a lattice and traditional pie look - check it out:

I found a great tutorial on how to do this here.  I used acrylic paints, though, instead of nail polish (as she did in the instructable).  I'm pretty pleased :)

Be sure to check out the other amazing designs by fellow members of this Challenge Your Nail Art group!  See you tomorrow with the next design <3
