Abstract Florals

 I don't do abstract nails that often and was really late to this trend (that I think is now pretty much over as I don't see them posted much) but it's a good thing I don't follow trends and do pretty much whatever I want on my nails when I want anyway, including these nails.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of El Corazon N881, two coats, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Lesly 3 using Painted Polish Deux 2.0.

Added flowers using PY-J053 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added a few random dots using Painted Polish Stamped in Taro.

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

 Thanks for looking!

Gotta Love It!

Loving everything about this mani!  Love the colour, love the flakies, love the stamped image, love, love, love!

Started with a base of two coats of Essie Push Play, no top coat.

Topped with Rogue Lacquer Knowledge Reclaimed (PPU August 2023).

Happy Birthday!

Today was my birthday and these were the nails that I wore all day!

Started with a stamper smoosh base using Pahlish ?, Sally Hansen Hard Drive Me Crazy, Essie All Fund & Games and Cupcake Polish White Pop.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  

Did a bunch of stamper decals using images from Sugar Bubbles SBS 28 (thumb, pinky, index), Maniology M458 (ring) and UC mini:  Happy Birthday (middle).  Did the outlined in Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, then used a whole lot of colours for the decals:  MdU 11, 65, 91, Different Dimension Kiss Me Under The Light of a Thousand Stars, Quo Sweep Lollipop, Quo Periwinkle Pop, and Sally Hansen Dockside Dreaming.  I didn't plan it very well in advance or I wouldn't have used so much green in the decals.  Also, all the effort in the smooshy stamper base and decals cover most of it.  I could have done an easy coat of a creme polish!  I like how the base looked; maybe for another mani some day.

Summer Brights!

 I've been sharing quite a few mani's that I've had in drafts for a while.  The nails being shared today are relatively current and the first I had stamped in a few months as I was waiting for one of my damaged nails to grow out and here is is just barely long enough to polish.  I was pretty happy how they turned out; here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Orly Put the Top Down, no top coat.  I loved how bright and vibrant this colour was!  Perfect colour for summer nails!

Topped accent nails with China Glaze Point Me to the Party, no top coat.

Topped with KShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did layered stamping using UberChic UC Let's Get Lost using MdU 107 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.  I can't believe how well I did this layered stamping, especially considering I didn't have the best lighting.  Maybe that was the trick lol!

Finished these fun summer nails with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Circles!

One of my favourite finishes right now is these holographic flake polishes and Pahlish is a master creating some awesome polishes with them.  Including these two colours; here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Pahlish Wildest Dreams and Love is Love, both two coats, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from CjS-186 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Olympic Events!

The Olympic closing ceremonies have passed and here I am, still posting Olympic manis.  The events were well on before I started to share manis and last week, I was busy with life so wasn't able to share the rest, but better late than never as the saying goes.  I still have a few to share but they may have to wait until 2028; we'll see how it goes.  I was just happy to be able to use some of these plates for the first time for this year's events!  Here's what I came up with!

Polished used, starting at thumb and going clockwise:  Orly Truly Tangerine, Sally Hansen Dockside Dreaming, Morgan Taylor Ugh, As If, Sally Hansen Knowledge is Flower and Sally Hansen Hard Drive Me Crazy.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Added Seche Diamond Dust for a little extra sparkle!
