Hot Pink

I did these nails while I was growing out my nails and didn't think I was going to share them so didn't take a lot of pictures but I ended up not minding them so thought I would share!

Started with a base of three coats of Orly Hot Topics, topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Creative Shop 11 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Spring Flowers!

I did some spring flowers by making a few stamper decals; here's what I came up with!!

Started with a base of two coats of China Glaze Cuba Diving, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Made stamper decals using images from Beauty Big Bang XL-40 (middle, index, ring), BundleMonster + Tanya Wish BM-217 (pinky) and CreativeShop 61 (thumb) using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief for outline and a whole bunch of polishes.

Whole bunch of polishes (and I know at least one is missing being the darker purple I used).

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I was pretty happy how these turned out, which made me think, why don't I make stamper decals more often but I'm not sure why.  

Hopefully we'll start to see spring flowers in our area soon!

Another Spring Mani!

I've had these in drafts for a long time but thought they looked like nice spring nails too so thought they'd be good to share now that spring has officially arrived!

Started with a base of two coats of KBShimmer Harbor A Crush, no top coat.

Topped with a thin coat of Polished for Days Echor, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Lina 4 Seasons-Summer 02 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

(Look at the magic in that thumb nails above.)  Added dots using Painted Polish Stamped in Starfruit.

Then decided it needed a few more dots, which I think was the right call.  Those few extra dots really add to the mani; love it!

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 I could wear this every. day. of. the. week!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Welcome Spring!

Spring has officially arrived!  

Started with a base of two coats of Rogue Lacquer Feast Mode, no top coat.  This polish just came in the mail; I placed an order in January and it finally arrived!  It was postmarked on January 23rd; almost two months to get here.  The other thing is that I've been wearing green a lot and had decided that I wasn't going to be wearing green for a while, but when I got this, I had to put it on my nails right away!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped accent nails using Marianne Nails n.42 using MdU 5, then stamped and double stamped using an image from Lina 4 Seasons-Spring 02 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped using KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Added dots using Painted Polish Stamped in Starfruit.

Then topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

The next day, I sat down to do my nails and seen the words 'Welcome Spring' the plate, so decide to add them on the accent nails using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I noticed that the dots in the flowers weren't centered when I did my nails the next day; I actually thought that I dotted them off center, but looking at the pictures above, they were fine!  It's like the top coat floated/moved or something on several fingers (middle, index, thumb)!!!  I've never had this happen before!  I thought I was off so fixed them by making larger dots when I added the stamping as well.  Really weird.

 Enjoy your day; thanks for looking!

Pretty Purple!

This mani is a little bit busy but you know, that's nothing unusual for me!  This has lots that I love about mani's:  busy, dots, layering and flakies!

Stated with a base of two coats of OPI Violet Visionary, no top coat.

Topped with Polished for Days Delicate, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using an image from Moyra 35 Wallpaper using MdU 93.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

It's St. Patrick's Day; may you find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, don't drink too much green beer and stay away from those foolish leprechauns!  

Started with a base of two coats of Daily Hues What Band is Next? on white soft blur base, no topcoat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

UC mini: St. Patrick's Day 4

Stamped using image from UberChic mini: St. Patrick's Day 4 using Painted Polish Stamped in Greenery with accent of MdU Irish 1.

Shadow stamped all images using same plate with Painted Polish Woodland Whimsey 2.0.  Also added a few shamrocks on the thumb and shadow stamped them as well.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Ms. Cindy; similar images but not quite the same.  The first layer of stamping is a bunch of greens as I was trying to figure out which green I wanted to use for the shared mani.

Thanks for looking!
