Green Daisies!

 I mixed up my favourite daisy image with these nails, using a coloured stamping polish versus the white or blue that I typically go to.  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a base of two coats of Pahlish Thestral, no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 


Stamped using Lina 4 Seasons-Spring 02 using MdU 52.


Dotted the floral centers using MdU 83.


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


Except that I wasn't finished.  Me and my love of busy nails decided I needed a little bit more.  So added more dots using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.


Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Another Galaxy!

These rings remind me of galaxy nails, although not the typical milky way type of galaxy nails that are so popular.  Nevertheless, I liked how they turned out 


Started with a base of one coat of Essie License to Thrill, no top coat.


Topped with Rogue Lacquer Knowledge Reclaimed (PPU August 2023), no top coat.


Creative Shop 191

More Waves!

 I got sooooo many compliments on these nails!  They were bright and sparkly and very eye catching and one Saturday afternoon when I was out shopping, so many people complimented them!


Clear Jelly Stamper CjS 198.



Started with two coats of BKind Sauble Beach, no top coat.  Fun fact, I was just a short distance from Sauble Beach, Ontario when I did these!  I love this shade of blue and was lucky to find this at Winners one day.  I went back and bought a back up bottle as well and have used it a few times already.


Topped with Pahlish ? Mystery Polish, no top coat.  The layering of these two polishes created a really stunning base polish!


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


This base colour really made me think of water so I decided to use an image from CjS-198 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Waves

This is one of my favourite images and one I use often when I can't decide what to put on my nails.  


Started with a base of two coats of Morgan Taylor Powers of Persuaion, topped with Polished for Days Just Keep Swimming.  Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped using Marianne Nails n. 53 using a blended gradient of Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Stamped in Taro and Moyra SP 19.  Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  


I didn't plan on sharing this mani when I started out so didn't take pictures as I went along like I typically do, but liked how it turned out so decided to share anyway.  This picture shows why I didn't plan on sharing; my thumb nail was just growing out and while I was doing my nails somewhat, I wasn't taking pictures to share, just doing them for me.


Thanks for looking!

Flamingos!


I seen flamingos in the wild on holiday travels recently and funny...they are not hot pink like we so often portray, especially when doing our nails.  Or maybe it's just me that always does hot pink with flamingos.  Like I did here; here's what I came up with! 


MRFOX-LC012



Started with a base of two coats of Quo Beauty Hot Stuff, no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 



Stamped using MrFox-LC012 (thumb), Moyra 66-Exotique (middle and ring) and B. Loves B.11 Summer Paradise (pinky and index) using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.


Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.
