The one who made me a mom turned 30th last week and I did these birthday nails for him! His current interest is playing darts so I did these dart themed nails; here's what I came up with!
Did a stamper smooshy base using lots of polishes. Adding the shimmer was a good idea in theory as it adds lot of interest but such a pain in cleanup; it was everyyyyywhere!
These are the polishes used: Pahlish 1989, KBShimmer Chill Out (Reflective), Essie Gel Couture Rock the Runway, Essie Gel Couture Cut Loose, Noodles Nail Polish Long Time No Sea, Lacquer Is in the Air I'm Just a Kid (PPU June 2022), Sally Hansen CSM Writing on the Walls, Did I Blue That and Draw Blue in. (whew!)
Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.
After shrinking the dart board images, did stamper decals on the thumb and middle using MoYou London Games Collection-03; this plate was also used for the images on the pinky. Then stamped using images from Maniology M458 (stars on background on index and pinky), MrFox-LB023 (words on index), MoYou London Happy Birthday 01 and 02 (cupcake and stars on ring), and UberChic UC mini: Happy Birthday (numbers on index). Stamping polishes are MdU 11, 13, and 91, Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and Blanc Slate. Also used red and green Sally Hansen CSM polishes for stamper decals but didn't make note on them.
Added random stars on middle and thumb using MoYou London Happy Birthday 01 using MdU 11 for filler and interest.

After removing the hair that I seen on the index finger, topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.
Here was the cake my son had for his birthday, which was awesome!
My son really liked these nails so the time and effort they took was worth it (as they were time consuming lol).
Thanks for looking!
