NAILS | Fall Leaves #CBBxManiMonday

Hope everyone got out there to vote in Canada today! I was originally going to get this done with advanced voting last week, but I was too tired after work and then with Hugo's surgery happening on the 13th I was just too mentally preoccupied. I also didn't really know who to vote for...I usually have a pretty good idea of what platform I agree with, but I was waffling. Today I knew what to do so my husband and I walked to the polls and enjoyed some decent weather as the polling station that was assigned to us was like 20 blocks away!

Polish purchased by me. Water decals are press samples.

I have been a bit lost for nail art I'd say for the last few months. I am finding that I have less and less energy to do the intricate hand-drawn stuff I used to do and would rather stick to something abstract and quick instead of something with back-breaking detail. I do feel very guilty for not having more interesting designs here on the blog, but I think with Halloween I might get some of that mojo back as I ADORE Halloween designs! Fall has just never been something I knew what to do with.

For today's nail art, I really just wanted to use this Sally Hansen Limited Edition Jelly Belly nail polish that I got so long ago! The shade "Buttered Popcorn" was one of my favourite jellybean flavours when I was a teenager because I just couldn't believe how buttery it tasted! I have been waiting for a good time to try out this very odd polish with its sheer white/nude and gold hex glitter. I also wanted to finally do some Fall nails that included leaves and the water decals I had really show up best on a pale base colour so this seemed like the perfect opportunity to combine the two!
