Last of the Fall Nails!

I guess it's technically still fall as winter doesn't officially arrive until December 21st, but everyone has been posting snowflakes and Christmas nails already, I thought that sharing fall mani's was over.  But I did see my fellow Digit-al Dozen nail pal Copycat Claws posting fall nails yesterday and again today so I guess I'm not the only one still had fall nails to share!  I just had so many ideas and did wayyy more fall mani's than usual.  Oh well.  Let's hope it continues and that I will think of lots of ideas for Christmas mani's!  Here's what I came up with....and I promise not to share fall mani's until next year (that may be January 2019 but next year anyway)!

Started with a base of one coat each of Girly Bits Another Brick in the Fall with accent of Girly Bits It's Near Leaf Fall.  

I've been trying to do more layering lately so topped with one coat of Bee's Knees Thorns All.  I'm not sure how well these pictures translate really how stunning this combination was. 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I could not stop staring at my nails!

Stamped using image from Delaney Automne 002 for leaves with accent of Delaney Automne 001 for words on accent using MdU 11, 53 and 66.

The image and stamping polishes!

This isn't the best 'glamour shot' pose for blogging (or the best I can do anyway as by no means do I do glamour shots) but you see the stamping better.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

This was my favourite fall mani this year; don't ask me why I didn't share it sooner!  Too many other fall nails to share and no time I guess!

Enjoy the last of the fall weather and stay tuned for holiday and winter themed nails!  Well, not every post but I do have a few to share!

Have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

Digit-al Dozen Does Look Up; Day 5

I have tried to postpone today's mani but unfortunately the time has come.  Yes, the dreaded s and c words.  Snow and cold!  Last night, I drove through a pretty significant snow system and today is the coldest November 22nd on record - yes, it's frickin cold!  So I decided to post snowflakes for day 5 of look up challenge as last night when I looked up into the sky, that was all I could see!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Different Dimension Kiss Me Under the Light of a Thousand Starts (thumb and middle), Different Dimension Living the Dream and OPI (to update).

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did a sponged gradient using OPI (to update), then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped thumb and middle using image from UberChic UC Holiday Jingle using MdU 3 and Ejiubus EJB-03 using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Added image from Marianne Nails Professional n.31 to accent, plus added a few extra snowflakes using images from same plate.

Marianne Nails Professional n.31.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Digit-al Dozen Does Look Up; Day 4

I'm still sharing Digit-al Dozen mani's even though I'm terribly behind with them!  For day 4 look up challenge, I'm sharing bubbles floating in the air based upon the neighbours children blowing bubbles in the middle of our court that I seen a couple weeks ago!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Butter London Molly-Coddled, no top coat.

I've been all about layering lately and this was another that I thought I would layer; added unknown Cosmetic Arts iridescent glitter.

For a bit more sparkle, added Cover Girl City Lights.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from B. Loves B.00 Rainbows and Unicorns using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Digit-al Dozen Does Look Up; Day 3

I've had a hectic week and yesterday's dumping of snow didn't help it at all so I'm behind in getting my Digit-al Dozen posts up.  With the time change last weekend and with it now being dark at 5ish pm, I've been seeing a lot of stars at night now especially given that I leave work at 8 or 9 pm most nights lately which is what I came up with on day 3 of our look up challenge!

Started with a base of two coats of Zoya Pinta.

Added a coat of Etheral Lacquer Moonlit Machete from September 2018 Polish Pickup.

This low lighting pix shows flakies a bit better.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Sponged Zoya Julie and Paint It Pretty Polish Indigo Rises.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. A couple of the nails weren't very happy with all the coats of polish in such a short time and kinda wrinkled but as I was doing these nails one morning before work, I didn't have time for them to settle down.  But they did once dry.

Stamped using images from BundleMonster BM-XL213 using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Low lighting pix shows some of those flakies a little better....the ones I didn't sponge over anyway lol.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish. 

Low light again.

Digit-al Dozen Does Look Up; Day 2

I'm sorry for running behind and am only getting day 2 posted (and it's pretty late in the day at that!)  Life is just too busy (and I'm not organized enough to have the posts done earlier lol).  Anyway, here are Canada Geese getting ready to fly south for the winter which I've seen a lot of in the last few weeks when I look up!  And if you've been around a flock of Canada Geese, you know what the accent finger is lol!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a China Glaze Bahamian Escape with accent of Great Lakes Lacquer Coffee is Necessary, two coats.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did random sponge stamping on all fingers except accent using China Glaze Sea Spray.  On the accent, hand painted using Zoya Shawn and Jace.

Stamped on all fingers except accent using image from Konad m79 using Funky Fingers Gesso.

Stamped (and in most cases double stamped) images from Infinity 52 using FunkyFingers Dark Knight on index, middle and pinky and with Canadian Nail Fanatic 001 with Fig Tree Stamps on thumb.

Stamped image from Lina Make Your Mark 01 on ring using FunkyFingers Gesso.  (That's suppose to be the ground with grass on the accent.)

Digit-al Dozen Does Look Up; Day 1

It's Digit-al Dozen week!!!  The theme is look up as in what do you see when you look up?  Well, in my area, if I look up, I still see leaves falling!  The leaves are almost down but there are a few straggler trees that have leaves!  But I'm posting this on day 1 as the leaves are getting less and less every day and maybe by day 5, there will be no leaves left!  This is what I came up with!

This isn't as 'glamourous' as the pix before but it shows the stamping/gradient of the stamping a little better.

Started with a base of one coat of Girly Bits Sea You Next Fall.  No, that is not a typo.  One coat, y'all!



Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from Lina 4 Seasons-Autumn 02 using MdU 11, 32 and 53 and topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamping plate image and polishes.



I thought this was going to be the end of the mani but you know me and my love of busy nails so decided to add a few trees from Lina 4 Seasons-Winter 02 using same stamping polishes.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

This was my other hand which turned out really nice too if I don't say so myself, just excuse the poor cuticle condition!  Used same image from Lina 4 Seasons-Autumn 02 using MdU 11, 32 and 53.

Here's the other ladies day 1 mani's!
