Simple and Sweet!

 
This is a simple mani that is everything I love about nail stamping; an interesting image that shows the beauty of the polish underneath.  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a base of three coats of Potion Polish Autumn Drive, no top coat.




Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.




Stamped using an image from Creative Shop 75 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.



Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.



My nails haven't looked like this for so long that I see these pictures and thing, whose nails are these!  I hope they look something like this soon! 

Thanks for looking!

You Are Getting Sleepy, Very Sleepy!


These nails are mesmerizing!  They are also the second oldest nails on my camera roll that haven't been shared yet, dating back to June 28, 2018!  Wow!  I know they are older nails as I don't do this pose any more.  I don't remember consciously deciding to change it, I just know over time it has changed.  I won't say evolved as that implies that it's better and I can't say that is the case lol!  Although I suppose this pose is better for the new rectangle images on IG now!


Started with a base of two coats of Different Dimension Kiss Me Under The Light of a Thousand Stars, no top coat.  It's no secret this is one of my favourite polishes.  I have several backups and use it often when I just can't pick which polish to use!


Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped using an image from Apipila Super Placa M using Funky Fingers Dark Knight, no top coat.  (This might be Pueen 59; not sure though.)


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


I have around 300 manis in draft and probably the same number still to upload from my camera; however, it is getting harder and harder to post manis that aren't blue or daisies lol, and I do try to change things up when I'm not sharing holiday or themed nails.  I haven't been regularly doing my nails the last two or so years since my nail issues started so a lot of what is being posted is from the archives.  So I hope you enjoy the shared ones, even though I may be sharing a string of blue or daisy ones!

Thanks for looking!

Timeless!

Cobalt blue and white never go out of style, IMHO, and these are a good reason why I feel this way!  The white just pops against this awesome shade of blue!  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a base of two coats of Different Dimension Mystery Proto 343, no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped using image from Lina License to be Sexy 01! using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.


Finished with a coat of KBShimmer.


Different lighting.

Mermaid Scales

I think the addition of the layered flakies really adds to this mani; so glad I added it before the stamping!  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a base of two coats of Quo Sweet Lollipop, no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  


Sugar Bubbles SB 062


Did a sponged gradient using Quo Sweet Lollipop and Orly Gotta Bounce.


While that was pretty, I wanted to add a little extra, so topped with a coat of Fancy Gloss Witchcraft.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped using Sugar Bubbles Sb 062 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.


Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Another Flower Mani

 It's been a few posts since I last shared these daisy nails that I keep on rehashing over and over so here's another version!  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a base of Orly De-Stressed, with accent nails of Pretty Beautiful Unlimited Candy Floss.


Kelly Negri KN 33



Topped the Orly base with DRK In Living Color, no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped lines using Lina Make Your Mark 03 with MdU 91, and the rest of the nails images from Kelly Negree KN 33 with Painted Polish Blanc Slate.


Decided to add a few more flowers, so double stamped using same KN 33 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate on the lines.


Dotted all floral centers using Painted Polish Stamped in Starfruit.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Bright Pink!

It doesn't happen often, but this is one of those times that I wish I hadn't have stamped these nails.  They turned out decent enough; however, they were so bright and then the stamping diminished them a bit.  Pretty, still, but the bright was stunning!



Started with a base of two coats of All Mixed Up Lacquers I Am The Confusion (June 2024 PPU), no top coat.


Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.



UberChic UC Isn't It Romantique



Stamped using UberChic UC Isn't It Romantique with Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.


Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


These nails still turned out nice, but the pink was so bright; I loved it!

Shells!

Another tropical mani with these shell nails!   I think this base is perfect for these nails as it looks like the beautiful blues of the ocean where you find shells!


Started with a base of Femme Fatale Floral Coral, HHC October 2022, no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped using B. 11 Summer Paradise using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.


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