Yet Another Daisy Mani!

A couple months ago, I found a bunch of Lights Lacquer polishes at Winners and picked up a few of them and did these nails not too long ago.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of three coats of Lights Lacquer Now & Later, no top coat.

Topped with one coat of KBShimmer Something to Taco 'Bout, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Kelly Negree KN 27 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added dots for floral centers using Painted Polish Stamped in Starfruit.

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

 Thanks for looking!

Flakie Scales

I think this design would look a lot cooler if my nails were longer but all in all, this mani didn't turn out that badly.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Morgan Taylor Take Me To Your Tribe, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of Polished for Days Rainbow Fire.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from UberChic UC 12-01 using MdU 73.

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Different lighting; probably more accurate.

I love the added interest with Rainbow Fire; it is one of my favourite polishes of all time!

Pink Floral

I wish I had more time to do my nails, but at this time in my life, I'm all about easy peasy nails and that is usually a base colour, topped with some flakies for some interest and simple stamping on all nails.  I hope I can get back to the really cool designs I used to do years ago, but until then, these are what are on my nails at this time.  I still like to do my nails and still love to stamp them, and occasionally even have some time do so more details nails, but am glad that stamping can create some great nails even with simple stamping!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of OPI I Manicure for Beads.

Topped with a coat of Fancy Gloss Fire Opal.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using PY-J038 using MdU 93.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Started with a base of two coats of FUN Lacquer Blue Tears with a little extra at the tips.

Added a coat of Polished for Days Halo.

Mermaid Scales

I haven't done a gradient in some time; probably a year or more.  Sot it was a nice change to do a sponged gradient after so long.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Sally Hansen Insta-dri Time To Indi-Go, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  I always do a coat of topcoat and wait it to dry when doing stamped gradients as I find otherwise, the polish can become saturated and it can flake off.  

After the top coat had dried, did a sponged gradient using Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Time to Indi-Go, Morgan Taylor Gotta Have Hue and Essie Waterfall in Love.

Topped with Fancy Gloss Witchcraft.

Then topped with Seche Diamond Dust.

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using an image from B. Loves B.11 Summer Paradise using MdU 91.

Thinking of Maui

It's extremely sad to see the devastation that is being shown in the media from the fires in Maui.  I've never been there but it has always been on my bucketlist and hopefully, one day, I'll make it there in my travels.  In the meanwhile, these tropical nails will be the closest I'll be to there in some time.  My condolences to those lost loved ones or have injured family and my thoughts are with those who were impacted by the fires.

Started with a base of Nubar Dusk Til Dawn and Orly Connect the Dots, two coats each.

Topped with Orly with Quo Beauty Xtreme FX Hot & Spicy.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped lines using Lina Born to Sail 01 using MdU 72 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added flowers from UberChic Japanese Motif using MdU 72.

Shadow stamped (not very well!) the same image using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added dots using Nubar Dusk Til Dawn.

Did smaller dots in floral centers using MdU 72.
