Keep Calm and Enjoy Summer

Summer has officially arrived and we finally have had a few hot days.  A little too hot but are we ever happy with the weather?  Too hot, too cold, too much rain, no rain...never happy, I tell ya!

Started with a base of Color Club Peace Out Purple, Color Club Mrs. Robinson and Morgan Taylor Anime-zing Color!, with accent nails using all three in a sponged gradient, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from UberChic Beach Please (ring, pinky and index), Lina 4 Seasons-Summer 03 thumb) and Moyra 6-Exotique (middle) using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, with shadow stamping using it and MdU 20 on the thumb.  Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Thanks for looking and enjoy summer!

Purple Swirls

This was one of those mani's that I didn't have planned out when I sat down to do them.  I added a bit of this, a bit of that and layered until it was a look that I was happy with.  Then stamped it with a nice image that you can still see lots of the base through.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI Oh, You Sing, Dance, Act and Produce? No topcoat.

Topped with a coat Moonshine Mani Blueberry Thrill, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of Nine Zero Flakie All The Things Silver, no top coat.

Stamped Holo Gradient

I hadn't done a gradient in some time so decided to do one when I sat down and did these nails not too long ago!

Started with a base of three coats of Girly Bits Protype 3268, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did a sponged gradient using the Girly Bits and Cupcake Polish Fringe Benefits, no top coat.

Green Ribbons!

This is another great image for stamping that has some interest and lets lots of the base polish or polishes as in this case, shine through!

Started with a base of two coats of Quo Beauty Xtreme X Matte Tealicious, no top coat.

Topped using Penelope Luz Sunset in Rio, no top coat.

Daisies!

As I type this, I realize that I was looking through my plates last night when I sat down to do my nails and I recall seeing this plate.  Except it still had the blue film on it, which means I bought two of yet another plate!  Grrrr.  And what is worse is that I bought it, not one, but twice, for only one image on the plate, or the cluster of images I guess, being these daisy images.  I guess I'll add it to the pile of other double plates for a blog sale at some point. Annoying.

Started with a base of OPI Galleria Vittoria Violet with accent nails of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Boho A-Go-Go.

Topped the Sally Hansen (darker of the polishes) with Different Dimension Karma.  Stunning combination!

Mr. Fox-LC011

On the layered combination, stamped lines using ZZ Patterns using Painted Polish Stamped in Mauve, then added daisies in different sizes on all nails from Mr. Fox-LC011 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  Then added floral center dots using Hit The Bottle In a Pickle.

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