Happy Halloween!

Well the 31st is here and the ghosts and goblins will be in full force tonight trick or treating tonight!

Started with a base of Pahlish Candy Corn on the Cob, Different Dimension Here For The Boos and KBShimmer Be Scareful; all are three coats except the Pahlish.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with images from Chez Delaney Halloween 002 (thumb and pinky), Delaney Halloween 005 (middle), Marianne Nails n.117 (index) and Delaney Halloween A003 (ring).  Used MdU 2 and 63.

Happy Halloween!  Have a fun and safe night!

Happy Birthday, Turtlechick12!

Today is my nail pal, Turtlechick's birthday and I did these nails especially for her!  Hope you have a great day, Julie!  Julie is awesome; she is my US nail pal who gets polishes for me when shipping isn't possible to Canada; she has also overseen numerous nail plate group buys for not only me but probably hundreds of other gals, negotiating great deals for us stamping ladies, then working countless hours putting together the buys, receiving them and then reshipping the goods all over the world!  Thanks so much!

 Started with a base of two coats of Great Lakes Lacquer Never Gonna Give You Up, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I was going for the deep sea look, so added a coat of I Love Nail Polish Gaia.

Added some sea foliage; used images from MoYou Sailor 08 and 10.  Used assortment of MdU polishes.

 

Added a few more images from UberChic Party Time (thumb), MoYou Tourist Collection-17 (ring and index) and the two MoYou Sailor plates.  In total, the MdU polishes used were 11, 13, 46, 52, 59 and 66.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

 Hope you have a fantastic day, Julie!

Michael Jackson Thriller Halloween Nails!

This is a tribute to Michael Jackson's Thriller; it isn't Halloween per se, but lots of people dress up as ghouls and the Walking Dead and even Michael Jackson, so thought it Halloween appropriate!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls with an accent of three coats of Sally Hansen Red My Lips.

Did a smoosh mani using Color Club Silver Lane, Barry M Grey and Different Dimension Basic Witch.  I love how this turned out and love how Different Dimension Basic Witch added just a hint of sparkle!  I will be using this for a marble looking mani in the future for sure!  Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I made a stamper decal for the thumb using an image from NailMatinee NM16, then applied it.  Then stamped using images from Lina Spooklicious 01 (index), Delaney Halloween 006 (middle), MoYou Festive 43 (ring) and Chez Delaney Halloween 005 (pinky) using MdU 2.

Halloween Nails!

This cute design is my attempt at those gradient type of nails when you have one colour at each end of you hand and then a mash up on the middle nails.  But as you can see, I went a little overboard and dot crazy as usual and just mixed it all up but still think it turned out OK!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, with accent nails of Color Club Explosive (6 coats; it is a jelly and needed a few to be opaque!) and MoYou Purple Rain (yes the stamping polish as I wanted to be all matchy-matchy!)

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on top.

Stamped using images from UberChic Halloween 01 (ring) using MdU 66 and Lina Spooklicious! 01 on middle using MoYou Purple Rain stamping polish. 

Added accent dots.

Decided it was just a little plain for me, so added more dots (please excuse the white polish dot strings; the polish was just a little too goopy for good dotting!)

Added dots to middle and ring; then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I think those ghosts are about the cutest images I have ever seen and have used them a few times now in Halloween mani's; I hope I get a chance to post them all!  

Thanks for looking!

Pumpkins!

This was a pretty simple, yet cute, funky french I did a few nights ago!

Started with a base of two coats of Pahlish Ghost in My Lungs, with an accent of Girly Bits Funky Town.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did a funky french using an image from Konad Square 17 with UberChic Halloween 02 on accent.  Used Mdu 53 for pumpkins and MdU 2 for pumpkin face.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I did Ms. Cindy a little different and for those who are all matchy matchy with their polish and stamping polish like me, Revlon Alluring Amber is a perfect match with the MdU 53!

Spiders!

I'm not sure why spiders are associated with Halloween; I guess you could wear them anytime of the year and not just at Halloween.  Anyway, I did a bunch of spiders or spider associated images for my first Halloween mani!  I have to say, I absolutely love the middle image and really hope I can fit it into another mani soon!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Pahlish Yellow Brick Road.  Despite the name, I see this is a tad on the green side so thought it might be good to use for a Halloween mani.  Even if not green, I still love how you can use any polish and turn it into Halloween or something unexpected or out of the norm!

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an assortment of images; UberChic Halloween 001 (index), Lina Spooklicious 01 (ring and pinky), Marianne Nails n.130 (middle) and UberChic Halloween 002 (thumb).

Marianne Nails n.130

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I got this cute little ring from Cuter Cuticles last year and forgot to wear it so I tried to remember to wear it this year!

Hope you're having a great weekend; thanks for looking!

Last of the Fall Nails!

I have been loving these fall mani's and could do oh so many more but with Halloween knocking at the door, it's time to post the last of the fall nails.  (One of my neighbours already has their Christmas lights up; I'm like, let's get over Halloween first buddy and then we'll think about Christmas!)  

Anyway, here's the last of my fall nails....unless I decide to throw one in after Halloween as I'm sure we'll still be in the middle of fall here at the rate the leaves are falling!

Started with a base of two coats of Sally Hansen Butterscotch.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with images from Delany Feuillages A001 on all fingers except thumb which is UberChic Lovely Leaves.  Stamping polishes were MdU 11 and 13, GirlyBits Fire Engine Red and Esmaltes Da Kelly Lili.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I got some new lighting and would love any feedback you have on these pictures.  Worse?  Better? Not colour accurate?  Too much glare?  Any feedback including the good, the bad or the ugly is greatly appreciated!  It's a work in progress but I am trying!

Thanks for looking!
