Fall Leaves on Cheeky Chops

Since I felt kinda weird wearing around these yellow nails, and I'm too cheap to take it off immediately, I decided to go forth with some fall inspired stamping!

I used Butter London's Cheeky Chops as a base since I'd swatched it previously, and stamped on top with a Bundle Monster design in red, orange and brown.  I like it, but I thought it was missing something- so I topped it with my matte topcoat, and I like it.




Products used:
Butter London Cheeky Chops
Revlon Hot for Chocolate
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Sun Kissed
Gap nail polish in Admire
Essie Matte About You
Bundle Monster plate BM04

Priti NYC- Black Prince Orchid

Black Prince Orchid is one of the five nail polishes I received in my Priti NYC haul.

Black Prince Orchid is a deep burgundy purple color that has a little bit of a jelly look goin' on.  I think it will be really great for fall.  Check out how the color varies in these pictures!

Priti NYC- Rabbit Tracks

Rabbit Tracks is one of the five nail polishes I received in my Priti NYC haul.

Rabbit Tracks, right in the middle


Rabbit Tracks is definitely a winner!  It is this gorgeous greyish blue-green.  I think it will be perfect for fall.  It's lovely in these photos, but it's definitely better in person.  It's one of my top two favorites from this haul.

Nicole by OPI- Half of the Gossip Girl Collection

So the other day I was wandering through Marshall's and spotted, down on a very very bottom shelf, hidden sort of in the back, a handful of these Nicole by OPI double color packs.

Try one on your fingers and one on your toes!


I grabbed three packs and then decided they were all too similar- lots of dark tealy blues- so I went ahead and did some minor surgery and swapped a couple of the colors to create some double packs of colors that I thought I'd like.  It wasn't until I got home and looked them up online that I realized I had given myself 3/4 of the Gossip Girl pack... and had replaced the last one with a matte teal.  Whoops!  I now have an incomplete collection but that's okay.

I'm sure everyone knows by now that the real winners of this collection are Too Rich For You (blackened teal, shimmery, duo-chromey) and Nicole...Spotted! (teal based hexagonal/micro glitter).  Luckily, those are two of my three!  I swatched all of the colors and fell in love with the pairing... So I went ahead and did an entire manicure instead of one finger.  Voila!




These pictures are terrible.  I don't know why, but lately all of my pictures are looking just awful, and I'm not realizing it until 3 manicures later.  Oh well, I think you kind of get the idea.  

And Too Rich For You by itself?  Glad you asked.



Ugh, just look at it.  Gorgeous.
