Hello ladies,
Watching the trees shed their jewel tone leaves, I imagined what it would be like if actual gems accompanied the leaves in the air. There would be rubies, emeralds, citrine, amber with peach and golden pearls.
I began with BB Couture Eve. Using China Glaze 2010, I stamped the floating leaves from Konad plate M31. The design shows bubbles amidst the leaves. I followed the pattern and added an assortment of pearls, rhinestones and metallic gems in fall colors.
Eve, a gorgeous forest green, is a jelly polish packed with multihued glitter. I painted three coats for opacity. The application was simple for a jelly formula. It smoothed over my nails evenly and the color built up well.
I hope you enjoyed my whimsical take on autumn. If ever there were a chance for gems to fall softly from the trees, I hope you are standing by.
Eve was sent to me for review. This polish is part of the BB Couture Infamous Lovers Ladies' Collection, available for purchase at overallbeauty.com.
