Bright Skittles

Continuing with posting floral nails, here's one that I did quite some time ago and just haven't got around to sharing.  


Started with a base of skittles using Glam Polishes; starting at thumb and going clockwise, Glam Happily Ever After, Someday My Prince Will Come, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!, Her Own Kingdom and Slay the Dragon; all two coats, no top coat.  These Glam polishes are some of my favourites in my whole collection.  I don't use them that often as I'm afraid I'll run out of them!


Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped using images from Lily Anna 11 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Using same base polishes, added dots to the center of the flowers.


Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Natural daylight.


Thanks for looking!

More Flowers!

Purple and green aren't a typical pairing but I do use them together fairly often as I happen to like the way they look together, including in this floral mani that I did this spring.


Started with a base of two coats of Essie Pet-A-Surfer, no top coat.


Different lighting.


Topped with a thin coat of Pahlish Sandcastles & Snowmen Xmas in July 2021.  Wow!  Look at that shimmer shine through!


Different lighting.

Daisies!

Shasta daisies are one of my favourite perrennials and these look just like the ones I have growing in my gardens.  If only there was a blue leafed flower too!  


Started with a base of two coats of BKind Verdun Beach, no top coat.  This was a find at a local Winners!


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped using Lina 4 Seasons-Spring 02 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, with accent nails of UberChic Lovely Leaves 4 using MdU 91.


Added floral center dots using MdU 106 on the daisies, then a mix of the white and yellow dots on the accent nails.


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


 Thanks for looking!

PS:  I was just on BKind's website to see if they are BKind Nail Polish, BKind Lacquer, etc. and they have $5 polishes right now, including this one!  I may have just made an order.....!  I'm not sure when it ends so check it out soon!

Flowers

I have over 200 mani's in archives so when I was looking through them trying to decide what to post next, I realized I have a lot...and I mean a lot, of floral mani's, so I've decided I'm going to share a bunch of them over the next little while.  It seems to be what I gravitate to lately and one of my go-to image plates is Lina 4 Season-Spring 02 which has my favourite floral daisy image, so I use it a lot...and I mean, a lot!  So while this doesn't use that image or plate, expect to see it a few different times in the next few posts.  My apologies to anyone who isn't into floral mani's but hopefully you will like the bases or colour combo's or something!


Started with a base of OPI Pear-Adice Cove, OPI Fearlessly Alice and OPI Duoma Days, Duoma Nights, all two coats each, no top coat.


Topped Danny Vianna Starry Night (August 2021 PPU) on the blue nails, then topped with a base of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  I really like the look of the Danny Vianna glitter but really had to fish for the glitter even when i had it turned upside down before using.  


Stamped using Dream Girl-02 using Painted Polish Deux 2.0 on the green nails and MdU 60 Grinch on the blue, leaving a couple of nails with no stamping on them.  


Dream Girl-02

Thanks for looking...and stay tuned for more floral mani's!

Blue flowers!


Another floral mani but a little different than the last one!  Simplicity at it's best with this classic blue and white look!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped with an image from Lina License to be Sexy! 01 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.
