Zig Zags

Hard to believe that these nails were done almost three years ago.  Too many mani's; not enough time.

Started with a base of two coats of Ginger & Liz Chase Me, no top coat.  Such a perfect shade; too bad about the boo boo.  While I can't quite remember, I probably got it with cuticle nippers just before doin these nails.  Shame.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Swirls

Oh look!  Another another layered mani!  Big surprise unless you're new to the blog!  Here's what I came up with!

OPI Keeping Suzy At Bay, two coats, no top coat.

Topped with Lemming Lacquer I Blow Bubbles When You Are Not Near; one coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Emily de Molly EdM 06 using CjS stamping polish 080.

After topping with Girly Bits Glitter Glaze, topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Funny note:  I was a little bit aggressive with top coat, with a little bit too much on the index finger lol which gave that nail a bit of an odd shape!  

It was just a tad thick!

Purple Skittles

One of my favourite nail things to do is to put a topper or layer polishes and this is a good example why as it really elevates some creme polishes.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of purple skittles; polishes used are Color Club Lily in Paris (thumb), Morgan Taylor Powers of Persuasion (pinky and index) and Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Knowledge is Flower (middle and ring).  Two coats, no top coat.

Topped with Polished for Days Rainbow of Imagination.

Weird lighting but shows the topper well!

Another weird angle and lighting but shows topper well.

Bright Gradient Nails

This mani is one I had in drafts for over three years.  I didn't share because at the time, I thought these were a fail and didn't feel they were post worthy.  But now that I'm looking at them with fresh eyes, I think they aren't that bad and even kinda cool.  And my opinion has now changed as I'm posting them; here's what I came up with!

Started with a gradient using Morgan Taylor using Hip Hot Coral and Shock Therapy.

I Can Buy Myself Flowers!

Here is yet another blue floral mani!

 Started with a base of two coats of Essie Hyperlinked, no top coat.  Hyperlinked is one of my favourite blue base polishes!

Topped accent nails with a thin coat of Penelope Luz Taurus 10 Years, no top coat.

These stars are twinkling!

More Flowers!

Another day, another floral mani!

Started with a base of BKind Sauble Beach, two coats, no top coat.  (Fun fact:  I was about 10 kms from Sauble Beach when I did my nails with this polish!)  I love this colour; so much so that I wore it two mani's in a row.  BUT, you would never know that the same polish was used as they look so different.  I got this at Winners and feel I need a backup bottle as I love it so!

Topped accent nails with KBShimmer Chill Out (reflective).  Another polish that I use so often and feel I need a backup bottle of it too!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Lina Born to Sail 01 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

CjS-238

Stamped using CjS-238 using MdU 89 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate, and both polish outlines are MdU 73.  The stamping didn't show up that well so I had to stamp the base 3 and 4 times to make it opaque enough over the base and stamping so the stamping isn't perfect but all in all, I was happy how it turned out.

Added some dots to the floral centers using the same floral base polishes.
