I chose this second photo because, if you enlarge it, you can see the purple shimmer that adds depth to Embarca-Dare Ya!. It is a gorgeous magenta foil finish, shimmering and so easy to apply. I absolutely love it! I knew that I wanted to use DS Classic, an unbelievable nude/pale beige polish packed with scattered micro holo glitter, but could not for the life of me figure out what to pair it with. I didn't really want to go full-on orange to match the pumpkin decal that I fell in love with, and was just looking for a good fall color. I loved how these looked together and now can't wait to wear Embarca-Dare Ya! again.
If you haven't tried water decals, I highly recommend hopping over to Etsy and checking out this shop! She has tons of designs, changes them regularly with the seasons, does not charge shipping, ships FAST, and has a great product.

These babies are SO easy to use! You cut the little decal off of the sheet it comes on (about 2 dozen decals to a sheet) put it in water for 15 seconds, then take it out. I use tweezers to pick it up, my finger to slide the paper back off, and place it with the tweezers. If you dip the nail you are applying to in the water first, it lets you slide the decal around really easily for perfect placement. Dab it dry, then add a layer of top coat and done! I love these ones because the decals are on a clear sheet that does not really show on the nail when applied. I've worn these on bare nails, solid colors, and now a holo and, aside from how intricate and perfect the pictures are, you really can't tell it's a decal on the nail. LOVE them!
I liked this Thanksgiving/fall look because it was kind of subtle and clean. Have you found any color combos you were pleasantly surprised with? Share 'em below!
