Another Snowflake Mani!

We got our fair share of snow the last couple days so I thought I should share another snowflake mani while the white stuff is still around!  Here's what I came up with!



Started with a base of two coats of Color Club Catwalk.  I love this polish! I used it so many times over the holiday season.  Another great find at Winners this fall as part of the 7 pack for $9.99 deals!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with images from UberChic UC Christmas-01 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  Loving the contract of the two colours!

Dots!

You'll have to take my word that this mani looked cooler IRL than in person!  In fact, I wore it for a few days, I liked it so much!  Don't get me wrong, the mani pix look nice enough, it's just when I look at the pictures, the colours don't seem to go that well together but they seemed more coherent IRL than these pictures portray.  What do you think?

Started with a base of two coats of Pahlish Clockwork Castle (Black Friday 2019), no topcoat. 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.   Love this colour; love this polish!  But if I'm being honest, it's one of those shades that is hard to stamp on as there's not a whole lot of colours go with it.  Well, other than the obvious white.  But I feel I stamp so much in white, I do try to stamp with a colour or colours if I can.  To stamp with a purple, it has to be just the right shade or its off.  Hopefully you know what I mean.  Like a light lavender won't work.  But just look at this polish!  Love!!  Sometimes I shake my head and wonder, what took you so long to wear it!

Finally decided on a a gradient of colours; MdU 1, 5 and 8 using an image from Marianne Nails n.02.

Bright Blue with Zigzags

This was a quick and easy mani I did a few days ago when I wanted to change my nails but didn't have a whole lot of time to do them.  But some of the most effective nails are often quick and easy as the case with this mani, I think.  The right polish paired with the right image can be just as effective as the mani that you spend two hours working on!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI Tile Art to Warm Your Heart, no top coat.  Love this vibrant blue!

Is It Spring Yet?

We're still having a mini heat wave (well, it's above freezing anyway), so thought I'd share another spring-like mani that I did this past summer!

I did these nails last June at a time I was going through a bit of a nail funk.  My nails weren't looking that good; I had a lot of hangnails and breaks and I don't know what else and just wasn't inspired to do my nails.  I guess I wanted to do them, but didn't really want to invest a lot of time doing them, so there was a couple daisy images from Lina plates that I just kept on using over and over and I'd say during the course of the summer, I did daisy nails a lot.  I mean, a lot.  I haven't shared them (I don't think anyway) but they are sitting in the archives and I'll be sharing them at some point.  Anyway, here's one I did on and am sharing now with the hopes that spring is right around the corner!

Started with a base of two coats of Picture Polish Hot Lips, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of Seche Diamond Dust, no top coat.  This is everything I love about nails in this mani right here; bright nails, with one of, if not, my very favourite top coats with just a little bit of holo!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with images from Lina 4 Seasons-Spring 02 (daisies) with accents of Lina Feeling Shapely! 02 using FingerPaints Gesso.

Added a few daisy centers using Pahlish Honeydew.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

As many daisy mani's as I did in the summer, I've been doing as many snowflake mani's this winter.  Just be forwarned; they will be showing up soon!  There's lots of daisy nails to still share!  And snowflake mani's!

Bright Floral Nails!

I did these nails for a Digit-al Dozen challenge but unfortunately, didn't share them.  I thought they might be OK to share now as we are having some unseasonably warm weather over the next few days with the hopes that spring is right around the corner!  I know this probably won't happen but one can dream, right?  Anyway, here's what I came up with!

Started with a stamper smooshy base of Fancy Gloss polishes in Striking Blue, Neon Yellow, Neon Green and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from Apipila Super Placa I using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I just got to looking at these nails and they kinda make me dizzy.  Hopefully you find them OK!

Have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

Happy Family Day!

It's Family Day here in Ontario; I did these nails with the thought of families sharing time together outdoors having some winter fun!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a sponged gradient of Color Club Factory Girl and Sinful Colors Show and Teal.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Applied stamper decals from What's Up Nails B035 (thumb), BM-XL484 (index), Sugar Bubbles SBS 02 (middle), Delaney Hiver A002 (ring) and Delaney Hiver A001 (pinky).  The ring finger was stamped with image from Lesly Winter Mood 2 before applying the stamper decal.  Words on thumb are from Nailsways Back to Basics ABC 123.

BM XL-484

What's Up Nails B035

Lesly Winter Mood 2

Added random snowflake images for filler and interest using Konad Square 29.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  I didn't notice the stamping smear until I posted these; too bad but these nails took a long time and I guess I should have waited a bit longer before top coating. 

 
I was going for an old fashioned kind of look, so topped with Glisten  Glow matte to get that vintage look.

 
Reapplied top coat to finish.

Hope you are enjoying your long weekend if you have it off....or a great Monday for everyone else!

Last of the VDay Mani's!

This is the last of the VDay mani's and I'm sharing it after the fact as its one of those mani's you can wear any time of the year!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a stamper smooshy base using Color Club polishes in Flamingo, Totally Worth It and Warhol.  I love  using Color Club polishes for smooshy bases lately; the colours are so  opaque, vibrant and bold.  I've also used them for quite a few sponge gradients as well for the same reason.  And the best part was the price; I picked up packs and packs of them when they were for sale for $9.99 at Winners in the fall.  Seven polishes in a pack! Score!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Hit the Bottle To Love or Not to Love-01.  This plate was offered in January 2020 PPU (but I've seen it for sale on a few different sites as well if you missed it) and it came in the mail maybeee 3 or so days before Valentine's.  I knew I already had enough VDay mani's to share, in fact, knew I wouldn't get them all shared before the day, but was anxious to use this one image so did a VDayish mani but again could use any time.

Stamped using Hit the Bottle To Love or Not to Love-02 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

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

Happy Valentine's Day!

Moyra 71-L'Amour

Stamped with images from Lina All About Love 01 (pinky and middle), MoYou Festive 20 (thumb and ring) and Moyra 71 L-Amour (index) using MdU 1.  Added little hearts on the thumb using same MoYou Festive 20 plate.
