Started with a base of two coats of  KBShimmer That's Taboo.



Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.



Stamped using Moyra 52-Filigree using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.



Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Star Burst


This is one of my favourite stamped images to use when I can't think of anything to put on my nails.  It has everything I love about stamped images; an image with interest but you can see the beauty of the base polish shining through.  


Started with a base of one coat of OPI Tile Art To Warm Your Heart, topped with one coat of Great Lakes Lacquer The Oracles of Lake Ontario:  Pam.


Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.



Stamped using image from Moyra 52-Filigree using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.



Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Topped with one thin coat of Polished for Days Echors.

Lest We Forget

It's Remembrance Day here in Canada; the day we honour those who fought for our freedoms and those who continue to serve so we can continue with the freedoms we enjoy today.  

This is the 13th year that I'll be sharing Remembrance Day nails; I try to do at least one mani every year as the day holds great meaning to me.  I think of what my grandfather must have gone through fighting in WWII and am thankful that he made it home.  I am more thankful that him and others risked their lives or unfortunately lost their life so we can have the freedoms we experience today.  Our world could be a whole lot different if they hadn't fought for our freedoms so we thank them and remember them as well as those who continue to serve.  


Clear Jelly Stamper CjS H-72.  I thought I was going to use this plate but went in another direction.

Started with a base of two coats of Cirque Colors Hatch, no top coat, on a base of Polished for Days white soft focus.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Messy Mansion MM078XL using Konad red stamping polish and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, with accent nail of Canadian Nail Fanatic 001 with Fig Tree Stamps.

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Lest we forget.

There's No Time Like Fall Time

These colours kinda go together to create a cool fall mani!  I do have to say, there's no time like the fall; this fall has been amazing for weather, fall colours, a great Thanksgiving, and watching dancing leaves!


Started with a base of two coats of Essie Revenge's A Beach, no top coat.  Love, love, love this colour!  I wish I had have bought a backup....


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.
