Let’s Go Blue Jays, Let’s Go!


The Toronto Blue Jays are currently in the World Series, with Game 6 just ending as I'm wrapping up this post.  They didn't win tonight but they got Game 7!  Let's Go Blue Jays!


Started with a base of Cupcake White VNL Blur, then added two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls on all fingers except ring, which is OPI Fiyero's My Mani.  Then added Red Eyed Lacquer Like It's My First Tattoo on most of the other nails, except middle.  Shown with no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped images from Canadian Nail Fanatic with Fig Tree Stamps 002 on all fingers except the pinky using MdU 30, Maniology Blizzard B261 or a mix of them on some images.  The player sillouettes are double stamped to get good darkness.  The pinky is the coolest find everrrrr!  I stamped the ball from image UC mini:  Take Me Out To The Ball Game including the lines,and thought it needed more outline definition.  So I was going through the sports images I had and noticed that BM-XL183 looked similar in size to the solid ball so tried it out and low and behold, it was the perfect size.  It really ads definition to the stamped image I think, especially when the background polish isn't dark.

BM-XL183



Added starts from Maniology m054 for filler and interest using MdU 68.  Also maple leaf on the middle finger with an image from CjS-257 using CjS 062.  There was even an image that was perfect in size to fit on the Jays logo without shrinking, which was perfect!


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


 Thanks for looking....and Go Jays Go!  Game 7 is yours!

Thriller!

Darkness falls across the land; The midnight hour is close at hand; Creatures crawl in search of blood; To terrorize y’all’s neighborhood; And whosoever shall be found; Without the soul for getting down' Must stand and face the Hounds of Hell; And rot inside a corpse’s shell; The foulest stench is in the air; The funk of forty thousand years; And grizzly ghouls from every tomb; Are closing in to seal your doom; And though you fight to stay alive; Your body starts to shiver; For no mere mortal can resist; The evil of the thriller AH HA HA HA HA HA HA AH HA HA HA HA HA HA (FADE) A HA HA HA HA HA HA

Those famous words stated by Vincent Price as part of the song, Thriller, which are on my nails for #MusicManiMonday!  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a base of two coats of OPI Destined to be a Legend, no top coat.


Topped with Scofflaw Stork Raven Mad, no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Made a stamper decal on the thumb with Sugar Bubbles SB 076 and applied it.  I did a custom mix for the skintone using Painted Polish Stamped in Mocha and Stamped in Taupe.  The jacket is Moyra 906 Gel Polish and outline is Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Did lines on index and middle with image from Clear Jelly Stamper CjS H24 using Stamped in Stone, then did base using Painted Polish Stamped in Slate, then added zombies from same plate CjS H24 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  The pinky is also from same CjS H24 but did shadow stamping using Painted Polish Stamped in Stone, then Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Ring Finger is MdU Thriller using Painted Polish Stamped in Stone, Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and Moyra 906 stamping gel polish.


Added bats on several nails from CjS H24 using Pained Polish Midnight Mischief.


SugarBubbles SB 076.  I shrunk the image for the thumb and it still barely fit!


MdU Thriller


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


I liked the shiny version but thought it may show details a bit more with matte, so added coat of Essie Matte About You.  Not sure what version I like best?

Jacks!

Let the Halloween nails begin!  I usually do some type of variation of Jack-O'-Lantern faces and this is my nails for this year!


Started with a base of two coats of Morgan Taylor Tiki Tiki Laranga, no top coat.  This was such a vibrant orange!


Topped with By Vanessa Molina Tequila Sunrise, no top coat.  This made the nails even brighter!


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped with images from Bunny Nails HD-D (ring), Chez Delaney Halloween 005 (pinky) and Marianne Nails n131 (middle) and Whats Up Nails B023 (index and thumb) using MdU 11.


Shadow stamped using same images and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.


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


Whats Up Nails B023 




I did Ms. Cindy slightly different.


I thought these were super cute and work them for almost a week!  I got lots of compliments on them too so I guess others thought they were cute too!  They were very bright and perfect for the season!

Autumn Days


We are in the middle of autumn and there is lots of colour still on the leaves; however, it is calling for really gusty winds tomorrow and I have a feeling a lot of the leaves will be gone by the end of the day.  Except on my nails as I still have lots of fall nails to share including this one; here's what I came up with.


Started with a base of Orly Midnight Oasis, two coats, no top coat.


Topped with Dark & Twisted Lacquer Witches' Bonfire (September 2023 Polish Pickup), no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped with image from What's Up Nails B033 on all nails except thumb, which is MoYou London Fall In Love 09, using MdU 9, 66, 106, 114 and 122.


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