Embracing the Seasonal Change with Mixed Mani Monday

Embracing the Seasonal Change with Mixed Mani Monday
Hey there, nail wrap enthusiasts! It's that time again – Mixed Mani Monday! This is when I dig into my stash of scrap nail wraps and get creative. Today, I'm inspired by the changing seasons. As Halloween fades into the rearview mirror and November rolls in, there's a distinct shift in the air. The once vibrant colours of autumn have mellowed into moody blues and soothing greys. In my quest to capture the essence of this seasonal shift, I've picked out three nail wraps that perfectly embody the blues and greys of November: Moody River, Heart of Steel, and Winds of Winter.

How I did it:

Base Coat: As the chilly weather sets in, I've discovered that my nail wraps benefit from a bit of warmth and extra adhesion to conform perfectly to my nails. Enter Orly Rubberized Bonder – my go-to choice, especially on days like today when my home is on the cooler side, but not quite chilly enough to crank up the heat.

Moody River: A canvas of moody blues and whites adorned with delicate black leaves, all sprinkled with a touch of silver glitter. This nail wrap exudes an air of mystery and enchantment that perfectly suits these early November days when the sun sets early, and the nights grow longer.

Heart of Steel: A captivating deep bluish grey glitter wrap that adds a dash of glamour to my mixed mani. The subtle sparkle on my nails mirrors the glistening frost on a crisp, chilly morning, harmonizing beautifully with the moodiness of the season. It serves as a reminder that amidst change, there lies elegance and resilience.

Winds of Winter: Lastly, Winds of Winter brings a touch of ombre magic to my manicure. Starting with a moody blue at the base and gracefully transitioning into a soft winter white, this wrap captures the essence of shifting skies. With a hint of iridescent sparkle near the cuticle, it mirrors the ethereal quality of frost forming on branches or the gentle, magical snowfall that occasionally graces the world outside.

Top Coat: For that impeccable shine and long-lasting appeal with minimal shrinkage, I turn to none other than Sally Hansen Miracle Gel top coat. This gem is undoubtedly one of my all-time favorites. Not only does it deliver stunning results, but it's also budget-friendly and conveniently available in stores everywhere.

Voila - the final results are stunning!



As I sit here with my freshly mixed mani, I can't help but reflect on the excitement that November brings to my family. We have multiple birthday plans, cozy evenings by the fireplace, and the anticipation of the holiday season all lie ahead. While the weather outside may be grey and windy, my nails are a reminder that beauty can be found in every season, even in the muted shades of November.

So, whether you're embracing the moody blues and greys of November or preparing for the festivities ahead, Mixed Mani Monday is a fantastic opportunity to get creative with your nail wraps. Try mixing and matching different designs to capture the essence of the season, just as I did with Moody River, Heart of Steel, and Winds of Winter.
