Hey Everyone!
In an attempt to embrace my super nubs I took out my stamping plates and found the one and only autumnish image I have, a leaf. So this may be my only autumn themed stamping mani unless I overlooked some plates. I have a love hate with stamping, I tend to always stamp crooked or off center so I figured having a smaller canvas would make things easier. Which it did 
This is what I used:
Base: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Coco a-go-go
Stamping: Orly Luxe
Plate: RA – 121
I used 2 coats of Coco a-go-go which is a shimmery chocolate brown. Then I applied a top coat of Seche for protection and mistakes, followed by Orly Luxe for my stamp. I was surprised on how well Luxe stamped, it is a light gold foil with a formula that isn’t thick at all, but it stamped great! Of course, I then finished with another top coat of Seche.
I’m quite fond of this simple little mani, the foil and shimmer makes it look fancy and my nubs make it cute
Does anyone live where there’s good foliage or go on road trips to see it? I’m in the North East so I always enjoy seeing the leaves turn, it’s one of the highlights of autumn. Hopefully we won’t get robbed of it with another freak snow storm like last year!

So pretty!!! Glad you discovered Orly Luxe, the whole collection is great for stamping!! (that’s usually what I use too!). I’m a little envious, I hear that North East gets beautiful color changes!!! I’m in Missouri and we have a lot of trees, so autumn here is usually gorgeous too!

I’m so happy I found out it stamps well too! I have a mini of Rage as well but now I want to get Shine even though I have too many silvers already. And yes the fall foliage is pretty awesome here, although I have to step back and remember to look at it because I’m so used to it changing over I don’t think much about it ’til I see all the leaves on the ground.

Oh my gosh this is hilarious! We couldn’t hardly get any more identical twin-like! Obviously I love these! Great minds and all that.

Nicole was right, you guys really pulled off the same mani idea! I’ve never stamped with Luxe so I’m glad to know it stamps so well. And I think your nubs are beautiful! We can be nubtastic together since I chopped mine off the other day.

Considering your awesome makeup skills I think you can manage a little stamping

I thought I had commented on this a couple of days ago but I guess not! I was super hyped to see the gold polish that you used for stamping because I’ve been wondering about a good sparkly gold polish for stamping. So pretty and fall appropriate.

These two polishes are so gorgeous together! I have yet to do a fall mani, but I should probably get on that!
