Happy Holidays!

So happy how these turned out; another mani I could wear all holiday season....if I didn't have so many other plates and polishes that I want to wear!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Pampered Polishes Rawr over a coat of Polished for Days white soft focus, no top coat.  A great holiday mani base IMO!

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Clear Jelly Stamper CjS C-45 with an accent nail of Lantern & Wren Say It's Christmas! using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, Moyra SP 02 and SP 14, no top coat.  The accent nails is shadow stamped using the Moyra polishes.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Christmas Snowflakes!

It's almost Christmas time so I thought I had better start to share some holiday nails.  While the design isn't very holidayish, the colours scream Christmas, so these count.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Wildflower Lacquer Straight Outta St. Olaf and Pahlish Toxic & Timeless, all two coats, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from UberChic Let It Snow using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Used a dotter and polished up the dots on the nails using same stamping polish.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Decided to matte topcoat so added a coat of Essie Matte About You.

The Wildflower with the matte topcoat just makes this look like velvet; my favourite way to wear this polish for sure!  Thanks for looking!

Almost Invisible Flakes!

 I had a vision of what I wanted this to look like and while these nails turned out OK, it wasn't as good as what I had envisioned.  But that's OK: the great thing about using regular polish is that it can easily come off and you can have new designs on your nails in no time!  Even though I wasn't thrilled how these turned out, I still share my fails as they may serve as inspiration for someone else.  Here's what I came up with!  Also,, I do apologize; this was when my nails weren't the best; I was still doing my nails but they aren't the prettiest!

Started with a base of Cupcake Polish White Pop, topped with a coat of Mooncat Curiosity's Prey, no top coat.

Another Snowflake Mani!

And here we are back to blue or purple snowflake nails  This is my go to look of winter and I really can't keep on doing nails that somewhat look like this.  Makes for a boring online feed but really what I like putting on my nails.  

Started with a base of Bluebird Lacquer Winter is so Chill (December 2023 PPU), with a little extra at the tips.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from Beauty Big Bang XL-094 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

Snowflakes!

I'm having a hard time finding snowflake or winter nails that aren't blue or a shade of purple that looks almost blue, and came across these.  I did them three years ago but they seemed like a fail at the time which is why they haven't been shared.  Maybe not so much of a fail as such, but maybe there's others that I liked better, but no matter, they haven't been shared until now and it's only because my feed would be full of blue or purple snowflake nails otherwise.  And who knows, they still may be full of blue or purple snowflake nails anyway as thats clearly what I like to wear on my nails!  

Started with a base of three coats of Different Dimension Fantasy, no top coat. 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

More Snowflakes!

I seem to have a penchant for doing blue nails and snowflakes so unfortunately, you'll have to suffer through a few more of them over the course of the winter including this one!

Started with a base of two coats of BCB Lacquers Azarath Metrion Zinthose! HHC May 2023 plus extra at the tips.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using UberChic UC Let It Snow using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

Let It Snow!

Snow is in the forecast today so I thought I could share a snowflake mani.  I did these last year (snow many snowflakes nails; snow time to share them).  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Easy Paris Cosmetics 037, no top coat.  I bought this polish and a few others when I was in Portugel on holiday.  They were very inexpensive, just one euro or a little over $2 CAD with exchange and you don't see that price often nowadays for any polish!  They really aren't unique but I was happy to have bought them as I likely won't be in Europe again and it was cool to have bought something not available here (at least, that I know of lol).

Topped accent nails with Nailed It Dragon Dance, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped images from Creative Shop 182 Basic (thumb, index and pinky), UberChic UC Let It Snow (middle) and UC It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas (ring) using MdU 68.

Shadow stamped the middle and ring finger using same plates, then added snowflakes on thumb, index and pinky from UC Let It Snow using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  The shadow stamping wasn't that much on point on the ring finger but sometimes that how it goes.  

UberChic UC Let It Snow .  If you are looking for a plate with a lot of different snowflake images, this is it!
