At the start of the month I went to see The Martian, so I decided to do some space nails.
Now I know that The Martian is about Mars, and that Mars is the red planet, but I thought that it was pretty fitting to use Rimmel's Space Dust in Total Eclipse polish for this manicure. I love the MoYou Sci-Fi stamping plates, and this little astronaut is just so cute.
Barry M got it spot on with their limited edition glitter Gelly polishes, and I just couldn't resit them. This is Sparkling Amethyst, and it's just stunning - I think it's made it's way into my list of favourite polishes. I love the subtle glitter and beautiful shine of the Gelly formula. I also got Sparkling Ruby, which will be making it's way into Christmas designs.
As I said before, I love the changing colours of the autumn leaves, so really wanted to do a manicure to reflect them. I remembered that I had come across this design on Pinterest a while a ago and it gave me the inspiration for my falling leaves design. I used Graffiti Nails Tuscany, Barry M Mushroom, and Bright Red, and Jacava Cherry Brandy for my autumnal colours. I added in quite a few more dots and falling hearts than in the original design, and was worried that I might make a mess when drawing the tree, but I was really pleased with my design and it was my favourite this month.
I think it's part of nail law that in October you must do at least one Halloween design. This year I had order some brilliant nail vinyls from She Sells Sea Shells, so it made my pumpkin nails really easy to do. Tuscany from Graffiti Nails was the perfect base. I got Taxi Cab from True Brit London and Queen Victoria Street Nails Inc, in my Nailbox subscription and both were perfect additions. I think my pumpkin leaves look a bit more like hair than leaves, but they are still cute overall anyway.
Do you agree with my favourite this month or did you prefer one of my other designs more? Make sure you follow me on Instagram to keep up with me weekly.
