BM19 Leaves Stamp Design Fall Fun

I thought it would be fun to add some leave designs to the Zoya Ray polish.  Seems nice and Fall to me.  I tried to use Zoya Richelle but it didn't show up good enough.  I ended up using Revlon Gold Coin to stamp this.  BM-19 is a thinner stamp but I was able to make it work.  I turned it sideways for my thumbs and used it twice and it looks fine.  Hope you enjoy this.  Have you started to do any Fall looks or colors lately?

Zoya Ray Swatches

Wanted to switch it up with something different today.  So, I choose Zoya Ray.  It's such a gorgeous hunter green color.  Very Fall and fantastic!  I filed my nails down this morning and am sharing a pic of my tiny nub too.  I have to say I love Zoya poloshes because they do seem to wear much better for me than other brands.  Do you have certain brands that seem to wear better for you too?

What a Break! My sad nail :(

As I was closing the windows tonight I had a big mishap!  I had a tiny break in this nail but used the Orly Nail Rescue to save it the past 2 color changes.  I haven't had my nails this long in forever...maybe from when I was pregnant years ago.  I have been using Nailtiques Formula 2 and they have grown so well and I have no issues.  I also use their nail moisturizer and cuticle oil.  This is a sad day.  I may file them down now....not sure what to do.  I have surgery this Thursday and cannot wear polish anyways.  So, here is the mishap...before and after.  Excuse the so so pics because it is late and dark.  So, my question is do you like your nails short, long or in between?  These are getting in the way lately!

Orly Lollipop and Orly Be Brave Swatches

I really love Orly Lollipop and it looks great topped with Orly Be Brave.  What other colors do you recommend from Orly?

I have a break in my right pointer finger nail.  I'm hoping to repair and save it for a little.  Darn broken nail!  They were doing so good!
