Happy Monday everyone! This week the members of Hobby Polish Bloggers will be presenting an Autumn-themed mani for you and mine is freehand leaves and an acorn.
I put down a base of OPI My Vampire is Buff (purchased by me) and used acrylic paints to do a conglomeration of random leaves with an acorn.
With a shiny top coat before the acorn...
With Girly Bits matte top coat (purchased by me)...
And finally with the acorn...

Watching the weather this morning from the "relative" warmth of South Texas makes me think we skipped right over Autumn straight to Winter! But we haven't. Today I have a free-hand argyle in Fall shades for you.
Autumn Argyle
For this mani I used a base of Zoya Spencer with Nyssa for the chocolate brown and Emilie for the darker brown lines. The autumn orange shade is Nails Inc. Fenchurch Street. I finished it off with a coat of Zoya's Matte Velvet Top Coat.
I'm not good at all with cell pics, but I think my iPhone shots of this one actually turned out better this time LOL!
In the last one I used Different Dimension All That Glitters is Not Gold to line the autumn orange and chocolate brown shades.
Hello Loves! Another week gone. They just seem to go faster and faster. Pretty uneventful here Chez Sheila again this week.
Bought a new sweater when our first cold front moved through here in sunny South Texas! I was pretty excited about that. I wore the sweater until probably around 9 am and then it was too hot again. *sigh*
It matched Elevation Polish Uluru perfectly!
And Wet n Wild Fergie A037 Old School Glam matched them both!
The newer Fergie lipsticks from Wet n Wild really are amazing. That photo above was taken around 4 pm. I applied it around 5:30 am and went through breakfast, lunch AND a nap and did not reapply. It's creamy and smooth - not chalky at all - and look how long it lasted! Loving them.
So I picked up another...A041 Ferguson Crest Cabernet...
For $3.49 you really can't beat this lipstick line. I was floored!
Of course, that didn't stop me from picking up another Chanel lipstick. I really liked my first one and since my Dior lipstick was lost in Fedex Smartpost hell, I splurged on another Chanel from the Rouge Coco line: #80 Etole.
I think I'll be wearing this one a lot this Fall. SO creamy and hydrating. I have to re-apply more often, but I don't mind.
Today's offering for the last day of Autumn Theme Week, a themed nail art week I'm participating in with some lovely blogger friends, is an autumnal skittles mani.
The easiest fall mani EVER is anything, topped with Nubar 2010. The color-shifting flakes in that one just scream fall to me.
It really pops over black.
For this one, I just did a skittles mani using (thumb to pinkie) Pure Ice Drive Me Crazy, Kleancolor Fashionista, Milani Dark Coffee, Wet n Wild Black Creme and Chanel Rouge Rubis.

How can it be Thursday already? Today is Day 4 of the Autumn Theme Week I'm participating in with a few other blogger friends and I did a gradient with scattered free-hand leaves for you today.
I used Milani Jiffy Orange and Yellow Whiz to do a gradient and did leaves in Kleancolor Fashionista and Milani Dark Coffee with a detail brush. I really need more leaf stamps so you guys wouldn't be subjected to my "free-hand" stuff!

Today's offering for Autumn Week, a themed nail art week I'm participating in with some lovely blogger friends, is an autumnal needle marble. Actually, this is what I call a "toothpick drag" mani - it's more accurate. But it doesn't sound nearly as fancy. LOL!
This is another of my "Extend-A-Mani" posts, actually. You say lazy, I say extend-a-mani. Both are accurate. Ha!
I was wearing Chanel Rouge Rubis already so I layered one light coat of a sheer-ish orange crelly (Pure Ice Drive Me Crazy) over it and let it dry.
Once dry, I painted striped length-wise, orange in the middle, green (Kleancolor Fashionista) on one side and brown (Milani Dark Coffee) on the other, and while still wet, took a toothpick and drug it back and forth sideways through the polish. I followed up with one coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top top coat. Kinda hard to mess up, even for me!
What do you think? Have you tried this method before?

Today's offering for Autumn Week, a themed nail art week I'm participating in with some lovely blogger friends, is an autumnal Thanksgiving mani. The first thing I think of when I think of Autumn is the harvest and Thanksgiving feasts. So I used Fall colors to create a little turkey. I started with a semi-ombre...
And finished up with some feathers...
As you can see, it's free-handed (LOL) with a striping brush. What do you think? Are you getting into the Fall mood yet?
I'm starting out that way every morning with temps in the mid-50s but by afternoon it's in the 90s and I've lost it again.
