Hey guys! So it’s been steadily getting cooler where I live, and now we’re at the point where you need to put on a jacket before you leave the apartment, and the flip flops have been put away until next year. And of course, there’s my favorite part of autumn– the colorful falling leaves! So that’s where I took inspiration from for this mani.
I started out with Sephora by OPI in 212-Sephora. I have no idea what the name is supposed to mean…anyone want to clue me in?
Regardless of the name, this polish is gorgeous. It has a super dark brown, nearly black base and it’s loaded with golden-brown shimmer, flakies, and a sprinkling of holographic micro glitter.
Here it is on the nails! This is two coats. It’s hard to capture how pretty it is in a photograph, and this one really doesn’t do this polish justice. This polish makes my nails just sparkle whenever they catch the light. On the nails, I mostly just see the warm range of color in the flakies, but I do get an occasional flash of green and blue when I look at them at the right angle.
The next polish I used was another Sephora by OPI one. This one’s Come to Pappa-razzi!
Come to Pappa-razzi! is a clear polish loaded with a blend of large gold hex glitters, medium black hex glitters, and small copper hex glitters. You know how some glitter polishes look great in the bottle but require way too much fishing to get a good amount onto the nail? Well this is definitely not one of them. I needed just one coat with no fishing to get a nice coverage of glitter.
And here’s the final look! I topped an accent nail with Come to Pappa-razzi! and stamped on some leaves with Essie Penny Talk and my BM m47 plate. Despite my awful stamping skills, I really like this mani. And maybe the broken up stamps make the leaves look more realistic? Maybe?
Anyway, I’ve definitely found some new favorite polishes for fall. What are your favorite fall colors to wear on your nails?
