Very much like the Coffee & Donuts themed mani I posted earlier this week, I knew when I picked up the Manitude x Sip It Stamping Plate that I was going to be doing some version of this mani this fall. There's just something about the warm coziness of a nice cup of tea during the fall months, but also I felt like this was a great opportunity to create a really beautiful, saturated color story to bring together the tea theme - perfect for fall!

So the thing is... I know that spiderwebs are getting a LOT of play over the course of this month, but I really just can't seem to help myself. Not only so I just love them in general, but I also find them really versatile as far as creating different Halloween design. For today's mani, I kept it really simple and straightforward but also... real creepy and Halloween-y, if you ask me. Anyway, let's just get to the nails, shall we?

As often happens when I'm putting together nail art - especially in a process of having to put together quite as much nail art as I tend to do during the spooky seasons - I went into this mani with a bit of a plan but ultimately ended up changing things as I was in process. I tend to do this style of mani whenever I'm really trying to hit a theme - just look back through my Instagram feed - and I knew I was going to pull it out this Halloween, but it definitely didn't turn out how I initially thought, but in the best way.

It's that time of year again! Every year at this time, I do pretty much the same thing. I hammer through a Harry Potter movie marathon - a soul comfort that is needed a little bit more intensely this year for me than years past - and I do some HP themed nail art. This year, I picked up the Maniology M152 Wizards Welcome Stamping Plate specifically for this occasion and I put it to use within hours of it arriving in the mail for this surprisingly easy Hogwarts House Crest Skittle. I only just finished Goblet Of Fire on my marathon, so there may be more Harry Potter themed nails to come!

There's something about summer and fruit themed nail art, I think. I've wanted to use the kiwi image from the Whats Up Nails B008 Summer Seeds Stamping Plate for ages now, but I hadn't gotten around to it and I wanted to use just the perfect green to get the look I wanted. I own a lot of green polishes, I really do absolutely love them, but I wanted to find just the right green to use for this mani and I recently found a beautiful, unique green in the drugstore that paired beautifully with a flakie topper to create the base for this mani.

Have I spent months wanting to do bee nails and waiting for the right time? Yes. Yes, I have. This is one of those designs that I've been holding onto in the back of my mind, waiting for summer to get hot enough for the bees. (My brain works in a very, very specific way and I've learned to just accept it.) Anyway, it finally felt like it was time, so I dug around in my collection for a yellow nail polish that felt right and went to town with some favorite products in my collection and I'm kind of in love with the finished product.
