Autumn is such an rich season, I always associate it with a harvest, bountiful table ladden with fruit and vegetable crop, most of them ready for canning of some kind, so we have warmth of the summer and plenty of the autumn, preserved for a long, grey and cold days of the winter. I used to do lots of canning, but lately, my husband took over that - I do work full time, and he is home... natural division of the marital duties, I would say so.
Dahlias in the front of my house are in a full bloom, and this year I have three different kind - burgundy, that is smallest in diameter - only about 4 inches (10 cm for my metric friends), eggplant purple with frayed petals that are white tipped and about 6 inches across (15 cm) and lastly those huge peachy/orange/pink/yellow in between color that I can't explain about 8-10 inches across (20-25 cm)... Where is she going with this- you think, well I kind of liked colors, and used them as inspiration for the gradient.
Base is gorgeous Love, Angeline - Cinnamon Dulce (Sweet cinnamon - if my internal translator is right) and sweet it is. This was in a grab bag that I purchased in April/May, and I was kind of disappointed when I seen this bottle. Brown is not my favourite color by no stretch of imagination, and I probably would never picked this color otherwise. Big mistake!
As soon as I started to apply it on my nails, I made 180 degree in my opinion. Just look at it!
Addition of holo is bonus - linear and scattered, it is there, and your eye does not know where to settle...
I think this is my most beautiful brown, and you can expect me to wear this again, and again, and again... you got the picture.
On photos above, I wear 2 coats, no top coat, photos taken outdoors.
Over this beauty I did leafy design from Messy Mansion - MM07, and is one of my prettier leaf images. I just could not put something less than perfect over this.
I decided to use crème stamping polishes over Cinnamon Dulce, and I did gradient using following polishes in this order: LaFemme - Amareto (Yellow), Mundo de Unas - Orange and Born Pretty color choice 5 (Red), item #22179... You can use my 10% off code SHGK31 at Born Pretty Store.
I stamped using my clear jelly stamper, and all sealed with Seche top coat.
