Good afternoon! I'm typing this post as I'm making a pot of chili for the game tonight! Who else is watching?? I'm not a big football fan so not really rooting for either of the teams but will be watching for the half time show and any new cool commercials. But I do like do to nails based on the game so here's what I came up with this year!
Started with a base of Great Lakes Lacquer The Traveling Linguist (thumb), Masura Botanical Garden (middle), and OPI Dahlia Darling on the rest, but all but the ring finger were also topped with a coat of Scofflaw Are You A Veronica or A Betty?
Topped all except middle with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. The middle (I thought) was a texture polish and I wanted the grass texture but it really wasn't much of a texture polish. I didn't top coat it here but I did later.
Made stamper decals for the index and middle using MJ XXIV and AK Coleccion 35 for the ring finger and small football on pinky using MdU 3, 9 and 22; Moyra SP 02 and 05 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Midnight Mischief. Also added images from UC Sports Fan-01 on middle and pinky. Gold on index is CND Gold Chrome.
I can't recall which plate this is; I planned on using it but never in the end.
AK Coleccion 35.
Added dots using MdU 9 (the deeper red representing San Fransico) and Moyra Sp. 02 (the brighter red representing Kansas City). Also added a few gold dots using CND Gold Chrome. Oh and I did something new (to me) today! See the NFL logo on the middle? Well, I first stamped it in navy using Moyra SP 05 and then removed the NFL words. Made a stamper decal and filled in with the white which was Painted Polish Blanc Slate. Then I stamped it using a different stamper using the red Moyra SP 02 and then removed all but the words. Then to put it on the nail, I first stamped the blue logo, then stamped the red words on top of the stamper decal. Thank goodness for clear stampers! So cool; it gives way more options for stamping doing this. (I seen this on the MoYou London site; the gal who is their regular nail model had done it.)
Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.
Thanks for looking!
