King of the Forest with China Glaze Harvest Moon

Hello everyone! The last couple posts for my Alice series have been short and to the point, but I miss interacting with you guys. I also really wanted to do a tutorial, since I haven't done one in a long while. Hope you like this!

I have been dying to do a fall manicure ever since the weather started getting cooler. While I'll miss the sunshine and pastels of summer, I am super excited for the rich colours and fashion of fall. Bring on the scarves and fuzzy sweaters! Today, I recreated a deer pattern from a sweater that I recently purchased.

sweater from Forever 21

China Glaze Harvest Moon is a shiny, metallic copper filled with tiny red and gold shimmer. If this doesn't scream fall, I don't know what does. And I love the name! I painted two smooth coats here.

Polishes:
Left to right: China Glaze "Harvest Moon", Sally Hansen "Black Out", L.A. Colors striper in black
Directions:
Base: start off with two coats of Harvest Moon
For the stripes on my thumb and pinky, I used the bottle brush to make a stripe at the tip, and then a black striper for the stripe a little further up.

Finished!

What are you excited about for fall? Which colours will you be wearing? I still have a couple untried fall colours that I'm excited to use. Have a great weekend!

    OMG I effing love these! The deer is so perfect. I LOVE Harvest Moon too, I wore it a month or two ago when I picked it up on clearance! I'm excited for fall because the cool weather makes me feel like being a hermit is excusable, which is all I ever want to do year-round haha. I have one of the Nicole fall colors from Target that I can't wait to wear! Also, of course, everything from the On Safari collection :)
